When I first got her, she weighed 4 pounds 8 ounces. She got up to 6 pounds and I stopped weighing her, figuring she was well on her way to recovery. Last week, my boyfriend noticed she was thinner after he had not seen her for a few days. I weighed her and she had lost weight. &Kristyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12091580936273084478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754717154579044848.post-22342169642874977492009-05-11T09:38:00.001-05:002009-05-11T09:39:34.152-05:00Humane Society Condones Chaining Dogs and Allowing them to DrownA dog drowned after it was chained to a stake and left outside during the storm Sunday night.

I don't know what's wrong with Scarlet but she vomited twice today. She hasn't eaten since 2 pm which is good I guess, if she is just going to vomit it back up. She slept in the corner under my desk for awhile today. If she isn't feeling better tomorrow, I will take her to the vet.
I hope she gets better.

The difference is huge when you are talking about little kittens even though it sounds miniscule.

I am appalled at the ignorance behind these proposed and current actions. They are killing one species to save another.

Jonathon had dental surgery yesterday and had 3 of his 4 molars (the big teeth used for chewing) removed. The vet said he will still be able to eat dry food. His teeth were removed due to recurring infection in these teeth causing him pain.
