She was very quiet last night, not even wanting to play, or do much more than sleep.

This morning I feed her some of Byron's food. Now she has energy to burn, and has gone through all her toys, and some of his. She is going from open window to open window exploring the world.

I'll write more later, I am a bit tired.

First off, welcome to new reader </a></b></a>sothe I also keep the blog </a></b></a>tapadance and you will find stories and pictures of all the animals at the Revere Beach zoo. (As the neighborhood children call my home)

Hey there, personal reminder to </a></b></a>graykin , if you do not start updating your journal, I will start doing it for you…I could just threaten to have someone spank you, but I already promised to tie you up, and that did no good. I would be such a good guest blogger.

Today was a busy day, I have a start date of March 28th for the work to be done down stairs. Should take about two weeks to get the work done, then I will start laying tile and spreading out around the house. It will be a nice area when it is finished, a new door, tile on the floor, and larger easier to use steps. Since I am going to be using the stairs on a daily basis, instead of every once in a while for laundry. My final plan will be to remove the steps leading to the second floor door, and turn that into a balcony. Then create a library room with a guest bed. I will turn the hall where I am currently sitting into a double wall of books. Long term goals are to move the kitchen down stairs and turn the back room into a small dressing room, master bath, and massive closet. It will require making a small wall for the steps, but stuff like that I can do. Massive stuff like putting in a new door, or tearing down walls, that I so can not do.

Purrball gave me quite the scare at 6. I feed her a can of food and 5 and by 6 she was very sick. Since she does eat Eukanuba, and, had just eaten a can of chicken in gravy, I became concerned. The can was not from the recalled group, but had the same factory number 4197 on the can. I tried to tell myself I was just being paranoid, but then she fell asleep, and Byron started trying to wake her up. Then I realized she had messed on herself, sometime between my sitting next to her on the couch, and my getting up to make my dinner. I think that is when Byron became worried. . (This now has nature’s miracle soaking into it.)

This worried me on multiple levels, since Byron usually lets her sleep, and he could not get her to wake up. At that point, I figured it would be a better idea to run her down to Angell than just hope it was from spending so much time playing today. So without Byron in tow, I placed her in the crate and off we went. She was just a lump, an unresponsive lump.

She slept the entire ride, which as those of you who know Purrball know, is SO not Purrball. Two hours, and 200 dollars later, she is ok. They made her vomit the rest of the food, and took blood and urine samples. Since she became responsive after the vomiting, and her preliminary blood and urine samples looked normal, I got to take her home. However, I have to keep an eye on her tonight, and give her some thing light to eat in the morning. I am going to mix a little egg white with her dry food in the morning.

She is getting ready to fall asleep again, or something she is laying on the desk in front of the monitor. Her eyes are closed, but her head is up in the air. And, she is breathing I see her little belly going up and down. Way better than what she looked like at 6 pm. Then Byron was batting her around like a rag doll and getting no response. The doctor is unsure if she just crashed from over stimulation, or what. Byron is not worried now, so I am not worried. I find it hard to believe she could have fallen so deeply asleep that Byron could not wake her, or that she would have soiled herself.

I will post more about the vet visit in </a></b></a>tapadance in a bit.
