Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 First a very quick update and good news at last. I had a consultation with my oncologist and he had the results of my 9 week CT scan. The original cancer lesions in my bowel have shrunk by almost 1mm, and the two new ones on my liver have also shrunk slightly. There is a new one on my liver that didn't show up on the previous scan but it is very small and darkened which means it also is responding to the chemotherapy. Ivor and I thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts.

My latest cards are at the bottom of the post. Thank you to everyone.

This week I have a video from July 2010 of Eric playing in the earth which was originally a Mancat Monday.


There is nothing I like better than to play in the earth.




Then a short post from both which was a Tummy Tuesday from August 2010.

Flynn has accepted defeat and agrees that I have the best tummy so I should do Tummy Tuesday from now on.

NO I HAVEN'T!!! I just have a smaller tummy than you Eric.

I am joining Athena, the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art.


For Eric I used Landscape at 60%, then Scribble at 20%.


For Flynn it was Flow at 50%, then Frost at 25%

  3. Jackie...I celebrate with you at the good news!!
    I hope your weekend is good and you and Ivor can enjoy some nice weather.
    Eric OMCs had I known you were such a good digger I would have hired to come across the pond to dig holes for my daffodil bulbs.
    Flynn that is one fine white fluffy Ginger tummy.

  5. Dearest Jackie and Ivor,
    Sure glad to read some positive news as a result from your CT scan! With lots of prayers, you will get there.
    Oh my, Eric was a hilarious dirt–devil! The way he jumped up and started anew. One can tell it was HIS yard.
    Flynn was an adorable runner up with his tummy comparison to Eric's.
    Hugs,
    Mariette + Kitties

  8. It looks to me like your equals trying to find if he can dig out the badger that lives down in that dirt pile. He should be watching out in case that Badger actually would have stuck his nose up at the time. Glad to hear that you are getting some good news for all the effort you are going through to beat this cancer. Lynn and Precious XX

  14. What a welcoming post! So happy that you are doing better. I'm sending a virtual card here of best wishes to you and Ivor! Fun video and pics. Those boys were sure a happy pair. Catwork is very nice. On my front, will be 12 years on the 18th that I had to say goodbye to my sweet Lucy. She was a gray tabby I brought home from a local shelter. I do believe she was waiting for me - shelter said she had been there the longest. I know I was led to her. And grateful that I was!
    Until next time...Jean

  20. How we would love to play in that earth with Eric - but Mom wouldn't be too happy with our muddy paws.

    That is wonderful news. We are so happy for you and we hope the good news continues. Hugs and prayers.

  28. Some good news is always good to hear. Many prayers for you. I love the video of Eric. Those two were real characters but I suppose all kitties are. Thank you for stopping by. Our lives have been turned upside down with my identity theft so while life goes on I have nothing from the DA's office to help me. All calls are sent to someone else and so on so I had to freeze all my accounts. It is a sad world. But life is moving on. Take care and I hope you get more good news.

  29. Hooray for answered prayers with your encouraging news about those tumors.

    That was a fun video...a Digger Kitty!!
    And those bellies, snorgled many times, of that I am sure!

  30. We're glad you got some positive news, Jackie. Let's hope you continue to make progress. We just love that video of Eric playing in the dirt. Dad always loves watching when cats play, calm down a bit, then go crazy again like violent mood swings. Take care.

  31. We are so glad to hear the good news, Jackie! Next week, Ellie has her first scan since starting chemo. I'm hoping against hope the news will be good (even no growth would count).
