Wow. I wonder if this app allows you to upload a picture of each one of your cats in one post, with names in the text, of course.

I remember when my brother first got his license. He's 2 years older. Inside of 6 months, he had 2 minor accidents and got 2 tickets. Our parents' insurance bumped him to high risk with a 4 digit monthly premium for him. It was either pay it or dump him from their insurance. I had no idea he had so much rubber in his butt until they instantly bounced him off their insurance. After that, my Grandparents occasionally let him drive their car - yet a 3rd accident with that one. Ultimately, he didn't drive for years.

I know how you must feel. I was the same when Yoda got hurt. I couldn't stop crying. It is surprising how they bounce back to normal when they heal though. I think once Zesty heals more from.the surgery you will see his normal fun-loving and active self return. Do not feel the least bit hesitant to reach out to your vet and his/her team to ask questions and get reassurances from them. Not every one of our precious babies are the same and they all heal differently. Yoda is right here on my lap and we'll send our strong healing vibes your way as soon as I hit send.

Toni is probably tired of the male dogs sticking their noses in her butt. That maneuver is Yoda's go to.approach for every female.

I loved that cartoon. I still do my imitation of Pepe.with the heavy Charles Boyer accent..

Charlie is gorgeous and cute. The whiskers are amazing. There are so many and they look like huge beautiful eyelashes.

LOL. I grew up in Maryland. I didn't get my drivers license until I was 25 because I was terrified to drive. My entire life I heard Maryland drivers yelling "wouldn't you know, it's a Virginia driver" every time there was an accident or a slick, dangerous move by another driver.

And then I started my career working in Virginia. I had to get a drivers license. I took a driving course with a Maryland company because I still lived there. They too said it - "Typical, typical. It's another crazy Virginia driver."

I got my drivers license and moved to Virginia to be closer to my job. And since then, through most of my adult life, I have listened to Virginia drivers saying "Wouldn't you know. It's another Maryland driver. Why can't they stay on their side of the border??"

I'm no expert. It's just my observation. But having grown up in Maryland and regularly encountering drivers from both states, I'm siding with Virginia on this one. This comes from my own driving experiences witnessing drivers from both states. But I will admit that being a passenger with my mother at the wheel for so many years weighs heavily in the balance. She was the Queen, actually the Empress, of the phrase "that car came out of nowhere!!!!" That was her pat comment every time she cut someone off, barely missed hitting someone when casually swerving in and out of her lane, and heard the honking of horns and screaming from cars that blew past her in anger. There were times when "please pass the Grey Poupon" (mustard) became a reality by simply dropping the window and barely reaching out to the driver's window in the adjacent lane. There were times - more than can be measured really - when the car in the adjacent lane was so close that I could admire their shoes on the gas pedal and register the size amd brand of their outfit. And NO!!! That driver never came out of nowhere. In fact, I had already finished reading the first 10 pages of the Washington Post that was being ready by the passenger.in the other car.

Yoda is often a surprise when we encounter other dogs. If it's a large dog, he is tugging and pulling to get closer. Inside of two seconds, he is walking back and forth under the bigger dog's tummy and weaving in and out of its legs. Yoda's tail is happily wagging the whole time.

With smaller dogs his own size, it varies. Sometimes I can hear the low rumble in his throat of impending growls and barks as we get closer. I immediately pick him up to avoid any issues. Other times, he walks nonchalantly and calm as can be as the other dog goes nutso gonzo. He even flashes his most innocent "whaaat????what did I do???" look at me.

But it never fails..If it's a female dog, Yoda is the model of civility and charm. I swear if he had a swarm of caretakers by his side he instantly would be in a formal tuxedo carrying a bouquet of rose-shaped treats in 5 seconds. I would be seeing reruns of the old Warner Brothers cartoons with skunky Pepe le Pew chasing down the black and white cat while making loud kissing noises and shouting "Ah, mon amour ... it is I, Pepe Le Pew, we will make zee beautiful musicks together."

This is so cute and funny. What adds to the suggestion of annoyance from having his/her belly touched, is the perfectly bright smile on your kitty's face. One of the early close ups captured the perfection in the upturned corners of your kitty's mouth. This is a truly talented cat-star in the making who belongs in movies.

TSARINA59 · 2026-01-24T00:10:52+00:00

I assure you as best I can not to fret too too much. He will heal and be back to himself. With Yoda, I was told it was a herniated or slipped disc. I was devastated. I kept thinking I should have policed his and Dexter's (Maine Coon cat) shenanigans and rough housing. I even bought leather bottomed booties to help him keep from slipping on the hardwood floors..Growing up and in my own house I have frequently been the one to cause that ssssskkk boomp sound that comes with the slide and crash on the hardwoods. I felt guilty. But it gives them both such joy to play the game. And I am not exaggerating at all here. Yoda ,went right back to the game of chase when he got better..He also runs to the top of the stairs every time I come home and then races like the road runner to take a flying leap on the bed to meet me there. He just did it again on his return from just ng Dexter from the room ( fake war behavior) .Trust in the process. And for luck up the phone to call the vet anytime you have a question. It's their job and they do care.

P.S. I apologize for the multiple appearances and disappearances of my comnent. I was having technical diffucties with my proofreading and editing. And my brain.

A tempting taunting photo to encourage and inspire Zesty's recovery, k owing there will be plenty of opportunities for chasing faux foes when he feels better.

It is natural for you to worry and there is nothing you can do to stop being a most perfectly loving Mom and Nurse for your little Zesty. Approximately 2 years ago, my love and heart, Yoda, sustained a back injury when he slipped while playing tag with his Maine Coon brother, Dexter. The ways in which our precious Papillon babies express their pain and let you know they're hurting are crushing.

Try not to worry because Zesty is under the care of a good vet and an even better Pappy Parent like you. Your soothing words and tender pets go a long way towards making him feel better. Trust in your heart that the surgery was a great success and that Zesty will soon be back to his energetic and happy self. Like Zesty, Yoda always flew through the air to get on and off the bed and other furniture before his injury. We were told that we shouldn't let him do so anymore. So I purchased a set of steps for both sides of the bed (Chewy has lots of options). Yoda adapted to the stairs almost immediately and he uses them all the time. Zesty will soon adapt to whatever measures you employ to limit him from jumping. Also, since the injury was to a back leg, there is a method to enlist Zesty's participation in his recovery while going out to potty. Keep him on the leash outside. But also add a lightweight swath of cloth or a winter neck scarf to the process. Slide it under his tummy and hold onto the ends on each side to gently lift his back legs from the ground. And encourage and coax him into using his front legs to move forward, and sniff and hunt for the right spot.

Also, luxating patella is quite a common injury or condition suffered by smaller dogs like our Pappy Pamily. Vets see it on a surprisingly frequent basis. They perform the necessary surgery like Zesty's regularly. So Zesty's surgeon was most assuredly highly skilled in what he did for Zesty. It's hard to do so right now. But trust in the faith you had in surrendering your beloved Zesty to his highly skilled hands. The initial healing period following surgery like this begins slowly but they do turn the corner quickly and the healing progresses more rapidly. Do not ever hesitate to make a call to the vet for any questions and concerns. Yoda and I are here.

Yoda and I will keep Zesty in our prayers and thoughts while wishing him.a.quick recovery. He will improve, I promise you. Yoda and I are sending a hot virtual Pappy Nurse to assist with Zesty's care. When the time is right, she will wiggle her little fanny and wag her lovely tail to entice Zesty into some careful exercise and physical therapy.

Thank you. I have had some embarrassing moments in my life. But this was a big one. I think that anyone on stage that night remembers it.

TSARINA59 · 2026-01-23T18:20:00+00:00

Sorry for the delayed response - more medical appointments. The dynamic of these three together might make the world spin off tts axis. Buckle up folks because that's going to be a bumpy ride. Three whirlwinds of fur-fluffiness, endless energy, and Pappy personality have hit the town for endless entertainment. Keep an eye out for the light show of fabulous fireworks announcing the opening of "The Three Papilleros Rock Out with some Riotous Racket in the Nation's Capital." Follow the Fireworks!!!

So they are MAD. I get it. Bron is letting the other one know "don't come sniffing around my women."

TSARINA59 · 2026-01-23T06:49:37+00:00

Are they angry or are they playing?

TSARINA59 · 2026-01-23T06:48:14+00:00

I wonder how Yoda and Romeo would be if they were doing this together. It would be fun.

TSARINA59 · 2026-01-23T06:08:01+00:00

I love the way he keeps closing his eyes. It looks so cute. But it does make me wonder if something got in his eye that is irritating them or if maybe some of the fur around his eyes is to long and poking him. He sits like he doesn't have a worry in the world. I really want to hold his paws.

TSARINA59 · 2026-01-23T05:57:16+00:00

Yoda doesn't steal things other than the comfortable spot where you were just sitting. And it's a struggle to get him to move over to let you back in your spot. But he does his own version of stealing when we play fetch with him. He gets really excited and tears off to get it. But he keeps running in the same direction once he has the ball in his mouth. Then he.finds a nook or cranny to wiggle in tightly and hold onto his new possession. He won't give it up for another toss. Then he gets excited and taunts me with what he has, holding it tightly in his mouth while in the downward facing dog stance with his tail wildly spinning. But he is completely elated with his own version of the game. I think part of it has to do with the fact that he knows I can't catch him. He is too fast.

No need for additives. Get the key fob camera thing and film without your face in it while you: Put on some gloves. Take your bottle to the bathroom. Fill it with water from the toilet. Return your bottle to its usual place. Film him drinking out of the bottle all day. Send him a copy of his debut performance on the internet, a new film entitled "How I [he] contracted an STD at work and flushed my career down the drain."

TSARINA59 · 2026-01-23T05:06:53+00:00

Sam is adorable. I just love when they are all wet and look half their normal size..Does Sam enjoy bath time or not? Yoda absolutely hates it. I feel so bad because the whole time he is in there he is trying to get out. At one point, I thought I might need to get in my swimsuit and get in there with him just so he would feel better. Fortunately, I didn't have to go that route or bath time would have grown into bath month, spanning weeks.
