Arnold Update

Dr. Thigpen is happy that Arnold seems to be back to his normal self... except for that bit about growling at Audrey...

The kitties will go to the Kitty Hotel at Countryside Animal Clinic while I go on vacation in August. While they are there Arnold will be asked to provide a urine sample - something he will not be happy to do voluntarily. How could I possibly ask someone to come over and do the complicated feeding thing that I do???

- Give Audrey half a can and put the other half in the fridge. If giving from the fridge, microwave for 8 seconds.
- Give Audrey 1/4 cup (1 scoop) of food from container labeled "Arnold and Audrey Brochu"
- Put 1 scoop Benefiber in Arnold's bowl.
- Give Arnold 1/4 can of special food and put remainder in the fridge. If giving from fridge, microwave for 8 seconds.
- Give Arnold 1/4 cup (1 scoop) of food from the re-sealable container that is very difficult to re-seal. Check re-seal carefully.
- Feed Arnold in bathroom - carefully closing the door to both bedroom and bathroom so Audrey doesn't bother him.
- Check on Arnold in approx. 1 hour. Take away the bowl of mostly-eaten food and rinse it out. Can leave the doors open.
- Take away Audrey's bowl of who-knows-how-much-has-been-eaten-food and rinse it out and grind the rest away in the disposal. Don't feel guilty about wasting food or about starving kitties in Africa who would love to have this food.


See? How could I leave those kinds of instructions for anybody???
