Berserk!

by carolynholm

Hey Mom,
I like the vet. He is very gentle, and he said my coat is gorgeous!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
It is gorgeous! You’d never know you were sick.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I love the new food!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I’m so glad you do!
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Did the nice vet give it to us?
Winston

Dear Winston,
No, sweetie, I got it for you.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Puffin says this food is for the You Tee Eye.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Ahh, he must have been listening to the vet. That’s UTI. A Urinary Tract Infection. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
And I get special food for it!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
It’s a special canned food for urinary tract health. And your dose of Amoxicillin mixes nicely right into it.
Love, Carolyn

Mom!
It’s delicious!
Winston

Dear Winston,
Thank heavens you like it. I thought I’d have to try squirting the Amoxicillin into your mouth, and I was pretty sure the result would be pink stuff spattered all over the walls.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Does Puffin get a new food too?
Winston

Dear Winston,
No, he just needs to stay on his diet. The vet congratulated us on the weight loss! That’s new. We usually get a stern reminder that Puffin needs to lose weight.
Love, Carolyn

Mom!
But Puffin is sick too!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
That’s right, turns out he has Diabetes.
Love, Carolyn 

Hey Mom,
Is that important?
Winston

Dear Winston,
It is. But we have medication for it. I can’t believe you BOTH have medical conditions that resulted in pee on the hall rug. What are the odds? Both of you?  
Love, Carolyn

Mom!
We pee in the litter boxes!
Winston

Dear Winston,
Well, someone was doing some free-range peeing. 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
You told the neighbor that your cats have gone completely berserk.
Winston

Dear Winston,
That was before I knew what was wrong with you. I’m so glad we got to the bottom of it. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Is the bottom of it in the litter boxes?
Winston

Dear Winston,
Let’s hope so, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
