Two Dogs and A Cat
How can you not love Stump, the winner of the 2009 Westminster Dog Show? Like my cat Eddie, he’s old-ish and he’s been through a medical crisis. Here is a YouTube video I dug up this morning, showing highlights of the Best in Show competition:
I also like this piece from MSNBC that I can’t upload as a video for some reason. But there’s a video.
From last year, since it is so very popular on this site, I’ll repeat Uno’s win from last year.
Finally, talking about old dogs and their medical conditions, my cat Eddie has a lot in common with Stump, in that he almost died. I do get a lot of hits on this site looking for tube-feeding information. So here’s an update: Eddie is thriving! He’s even engaging in some architecture, which is a little weird. He likes to arrange his toys in lines and circles. He recently made a line of his non-catnip toys, and a circle of his catnip toys. He then slept in the circle. Here are some pictures:

Eddie
I set this blog up in order to write book reviews for animal lovers. However, the great bulk of the traffic here comes from people seeking information about how to get a pet through a health crisis by using an esophageal tube. In July of 2008, I recounted my experience with Eddie, giving pictures and advice to those considering tube-feeding. If you’re looking at this photo, that’s probably why you’re here. There have been thousands of hits on this site looking for that post, and I hope Eddie and I have helped save some feline lives that way.
Tube feeding extended Eddie’s life, but eventually old age and assorted infirmities got to him. And so I am writing this on June 6, 2010, because on June 7, 2010, he has his last vet visit. I don’t know if there’s an afterlife or a real “Rainbow Bridge” or any of that. But love lives on, and so I would like to dedicate this site to Eddie and my first three cats, Priscilla, Hillary, and Rabbit. It was an unbelievable privilege to be their human. (And there will be more cats, just not right away.)
I’m glad to see Eddie doing so good! The lining up of toys is a little weird though….:)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Barklove,

PS mom says “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” is not safe. A cat is killed in it to threaten someone.
