meet atlas, our new little foster kitten. actually, he's not so new anymore, as he's been with us since november 5th. how fast these november days have gone! he's kept me very busy, and not so very busy, as i'm completely unable to knit when he's around (he attacks needles, yarn and basket - he even attacks my phone and will even try to chew the laptop). i haven't been able to integrate him with pluto as he has a slight case of conjunctivitis, and he's still on de-wormer medication. this means he's confined to the second bedroom, which makes things difficult as he's not able to participate in the normal, everyday routine (which would be much more interesting to him than roaming around alone in one room).
he'll be listed soon on the "trello" website as available for adoption.
Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute and reminds me a bit of Julius :). How long does he have to be isolated?
I read about your toilet saga -- what a drama! But it is good that the toilet is working again. There are too many problems with them, I think. Why do they always have to get plugged? Peter fixed our upstairs sink yesterday. The water was not draining and he took the pipes apart and removed a lot of gunk.
I remember when we first moved to this apartment, the bathroom sink would get so clogged that one day greg took the pipes apart, just as Peter did. He found a white cotton sock stuffed in it!! One of the children of the prior tenant must have plugged it up. I'm impressed that the guys know how to take these pipes apart.
DeleteHe's had conjunctivitis and has been on de-wormer medication. He has a vet appointment this coming Tuesday. I'm hoping he has a clean bill of health then, and can meet Pluto!
DeleteThat is weird, the story with the sock! Yes, what would we do without those skillful men? Poor chap, I hope he will be healthy soon. Julius' grub fell out and now his hole is almost invisible.
DeleteI kind of joked the other day that he is the only one in our family who needs to see a doctor constantly right now.
DeleteThat is funny! I'm glad the rest of you are healthy! (Now your pipes need to be healthy also!)
DeleteSo far, they are fine. We are still debating if we should get the big job done or not. It would cost a lot of money.
Delete(Sigh) These decisions are very difficult.
DeleteYes, I guess it all also depends if it will happen again soon. You changed your color to blue!
Deleteha ha, yes . . if it happens again soon! We're having trouble with the tub drain now. It's so annoying.
DeleteIt's fun changing the colors . . blue feels wintery and Christmasy to me . .
We did too and Peter bought Draino, but it did not make a huge difference. Maybe your problem is also more in the system and not in your apartment. Alle those water-saving "tools" are a huge problem for older pipes because they were meant to be flushed out with more water. My father said that cities in Germany have come to realize this. The sewers under the street don't get flushed out enough anymore and there huge problems and smells.
DeleteP.S. I tend to change the rim around my pictures with the seasons :).
