Will you be my Valentine?

Happy Valentine's Day. 

Yeah I know I am a little late with this week's post. Or I can say that I am not late and I was just waiting until today so that I could post on Valentine's. Yes, that is what I will go with. Although I am not too sure what it is all about. I hear there is a lot of chocolate that is consumed on this day. That doesn't make any sense. I don't see why people would want to willingly eat poison...what? Oh N just informed me that chocolate is not poisonous to humans and that I should equate it with my love of peanut butter or bananas. Well in that case I guess I understand. I would certainly like to get a big box of bananas or jar of peanut butter from somebody I liked....J!

I guess the other excuse I could use is that I have been coalescing. On Monday J and N took me to the vet to see what is up with my itchy chin/lips. It turns out I have lip fold dermatitis and have been given antibiotics to help get rid of it. It seems to be working but man is it still itchy and of course I am still stuck in this stupid cone. I guess it is for the best though. This morning I managed to get it off using the covers as weight and then went to town on the offending itches...It felt really good but I ended up cutting the right side of my lip with my claws from how vigorously I was scratching. Poor J blames himself for it happening since he had left me alone for like 2 minutes to go to the bathroom.

Hopefully this medication clears it all up soon. I miss curling around N's head properly and I know that she misses it too...curling with the cone is so cumbersome and dangerous!

So to all those out there with a Valentine, enjoy your time with them, and to those still looking, I can be your valentine in the meantime. I like peanut butter and banana cookies...just saying!

Lament of the cone head

It seems I have been sentenced to spend time in my cone. Last week after my hair cut, J and N noticed that I have some scabs on my chin from when I scratch it. Apparently my toe nails are sharp. They tell me that the itching means that it is healing but it is sooooo itchy I just want to scratch it but every time I try I am thwarted by this cone. I have been getting N back for it though. They leave the cone on even when we go to bed and I still make sure that I claim my spot on N's pillow regardless of the cone. Although I must admit it is not the same. I am looking forward to when I can snuggle up with her properly again. They tell me that it should be soon since the scabs seem to be healing. All I can say is I can't wait.

Now I must go have a nap because although I have been getting N back for being in the cone, neither one of us has been sleeping well so I must go take a nap. Ta!
