Damn Sun... why does it rise so early? 6:30am Jess says "Sun's up". Isn't that wonderful!!!!

Jon's life flashed before his eyes. We have this magnet on the fridge, it has a 2 inch crystal looking thing hanging from it. All I can figure is Jess got a hold of it, and the crystal part broke off. I picked him up to put him in the high chair for dinner. And I saw something sparkle in his mouth. I opened it up, and he was chewing on it. I probably startled him, by acting fast and trying to get it from his mouth, because he wasn't too happy. What a way to jump start dinner, my heart stopped. But all is well. Phew.....

Jess was jumping all over me, and she had her butt in my face, it was stinky. I checked for streaks.... and to my surprise... she wasn't wearing any underwear. While I was in the shower this morning, she got herself dressed. And I never double checked... I assumed she just left her underwear on, I was shocked, hahaha. They both were stinky, I don't remember the last time we gave them a bath, hahaha. Maybe Monday?

When I was toweling off Jon, usually I just have to towel off his hair and be done, I have not really ever had to brush his hair, there wasn't much to speak of. But now it needs it, and he looked so cute with freshly combed hair. Until he messed it up while drinking his bottle, oh well. And he really looked good with the spiked hair a few days ago, hahaha.

We need to take Garfield to the vet. His breath stinks and the more we read up on it, that's not a good sign. He may have gum disease. We've never taken him any where and he's 5 years old. We are bad cat parents. I used to brush his teeth once a week, but haven't been very good about it for quite a while, obviously he doesn't like it.

I was thinking in August when Jeff's off for the baby we'll do it then, but the more I read about it, the more it worries me, and I think I'll try and make it on a Saturday in a few weeks. It makes me mad because Jeff has been off on Saturdays for 2 months, and now they are busy, I'd hate for him to miss 6 hours of overtime for this, but we are both concerned. And of course they only have day time hours. And of course Garfy will have to get his shots up to date, etc. And of course it will cost up the butt. But shame on us for not taking him sooner.

I had a dog growing up and my parents never took her. Jeff had a cat growing up and his parents never took her. My SIL only took her cats once to the vet for a teeth cleaning. So we didn't have good role models. He'll probably hate us for putting him through all of this, but if it makes him live longer, we'll do anything.
