Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This flashback comes from June 2008. It refers to Eric feeling better again. Long time followers may remember when Eric couldn't poop for nearly 2 weeks which resulted in a lot of vet visits, enemas, a GA and a bowel flushing.

Flynn: Now Eric is feeling better again we are going on our walks around the fields. I check furr mousies in the hedges.........

and we sit in the grass and listen.

We check under the broken slabs. They like to build their nests under there.

Eric: We listen in the grass again.

Yep, sounds like something here.

Then when we have finished, we go and sit in our tree and watch what is going on.
Eric: Trouble is, even when we catch a mousie, mum takes it away furrom me. She says I am banned from eating them because that might be what stopped my interestings from pushing the poop through. Not fair!
*Note: Interestings is what Eric called his intestines.

The Random photo this week was chosen by MessyMimi who asked for 3.08.10

  1. We remember when that poor boy couldn't go but romping in the fields was wonderful after that. Love the art!!!

  2. Our inner parts are quite interesting in how they work, or sometimes don't work, that's certain.

    It must have been a huge relief to you all when things got back to normal and the boys could go outside again.

    Thanks for the lovely photo of them in the field!

  3. Yeah, you never know what might have bunged up the 'interestings'. Better safe than sorry!

  4. Historical Facts: Buddy Budd's Interestings had a block too. The secret service (vet) said he had a dam built up by the lippy Noma gang (Lymphoma) who were hiding out after preventing him from enjoying his treaterz. The Fire Department (enema) streamed the gang and they were flushed out of hiding. He proceeded to have many years of spy work including Floppy Buddy and others. Great Post friends Thanks for Sharing and we are so glad you got a good report

  9. I'm still trying to figure out the arrangement of both boys in the tree ... looks like one on top of the other!

  10. Had to be awful to have your interestings uncooperative for two whole weeks! Glad that was "fixed".....Have always marveled at how those handsome boys enjoyed climbing trees to get a better view. They were absolutely "THE DYNAMIC DUO".

    Hugs, Pam and Teddy

  12. Oh no Eric...2008 was before we were blogging. What an ordeal that must have been. My first grandkitty, Cali had mega colon which made her quite uncomfortable. Once while favorite SIS and BIL of Angel Madi was on vacation we kept Cali here. OMCs she had a bad episode we were at the ER vet in the wee hours. Thank goodness that was cleared up
    Hugs and Happy weekend Jackie and Ivor

  13. We love the tree art. We can't remember if we were around the CB in 2008, so long ago now. What a terrible time for you all, though -- with a happy ending, no pun intended!

  17. So glad you started feeling better, Eric, and were able to rejoin Flynn in your mancat adventures. Mom knows best though in regards to those mousies! Hope Mom is feeling better since last week's flashback. Love the artwork. Jean

  21. OMC that must've been so scary! He sure needed a fun adventure after going through that.

  22. Wow ! We hadn't discovered your blog back then but that must have been a very stressful time for all concerned ! We are glad Eric got better ! We always enjoy the pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh I have to agree. Eating the wild things they can catch has always worried me. Mine catch stuff even here in the house. I always take it away after thanking whoever it was. XX

  31. Sorry I am so late. That was a nice flashback. Those boys loved to hunt for mousies. Very pretty art. Thank you for the puzzles. XO

  32. OMC, I didn't know that mousies could make you stop pooping ! Maybe that's why Zorro mainly catches birdies only... Purrs, Pixie

  33. Inner workings can sure be complicated at times.

    Loved seeing those two in the tree! A perfect kitty perch!

  34. your boys always had the most glorious places to explore! That tree is just amazing. I don't remember Eric being blocked for TWO weeks! OMC that's a long time!! xoxo Those darned mousies!!
