Thank You to all for the Birthday Greetings...
Spent much of the day moving snow - got the deck cleared and half of my side walk.  Used the new power shovel - it did very well, got about 15-20 minutes of solid run time on a full battery charge.  Snow had compacted down to 20 inches deep at the deepest points.

One more thing for OLDGUY since it's still his BDAY 

[Phyl]

Howdy Tuesday!   Good Morning Everyone...  



Currently 43F cloudy     High  52F  rain,  Low 43F 

Snow's about gone   
Lisa  I hope you're at your Mom's by now and all's well.

{{Karen}} Got your PM, tks.     Here's your answer.


Thank you all, so much for your concerns. 
Maggie spent Sunday night in the far reaches of the closet in room where the computer is set up. She had been trembling noticeably. I
took her temp via her ear and she was at 90F. Normal is 100 to 105F. She spent some time on a towel covered heating pad set on low for a while. But later retreated to the closet. I don't think she's eaten much. When the temps were so fridged she was eating 4 of the Hills petite  cans a day---suspect she was trying to pack on some pounds quickly .  Jim has set the thermometer  on 70F at night as PetMD suggests this is the lowest temp cats can tolerate.
 Trembling/shivering is also an indicator of fear/ severe pain, kidney issues and some times heart and other issues. Before we turned-in for the night, I told Jim that if I can get in at anytime Monday, I’d call the store requesting he come home. So then  decided to call South-side Monday AM as soon as I could throw  on some old yard  clothes and wash my face. I ran thru what had been going on --- they worked us in Mid morning.
I pulled on a robe and made the rounds to located Maggie not in the computer room closet, nor ‘neath our bed (what a relief, it’s too cold there) the bottom floor of the kitty Kondo, not the spare bedroom either. So plodded downstairs and with each step I searched for her  surveying  her dishes (food still there-no surprise) and then into lavatory the Loo hadn’t been used since late the night before.  As I retraced my steps---Bingo!  Living room, underneath the end-table next to the dinning room. My baby was all scrunched in a ball with her bony back to the world. I slipped between the able and wall and reached down lifting her up with one hand quickly cradling her in my arms ---sitting in my Lazyboy I talked to her  asking questions I knew she couldn’t answer vocally.  With her in one arm we went into the kitchen I set her on the counter and grabbed condiment  dish warmed them in the microwave and mixed her Cosequin and  the crushed BP tablet with some Catit creamy chicken treat. She licked the spoon and that was all.  Carried her back to living room deposited her where she had been,  setting  the dish along side of her.
I  did the usual AM routine. Went back down---she hadn't  really moved. But! She’d eaten half of her meds.  I felt victorious. Half  s better than none.
Made coffee and called  the store and asked for him to come home---they put him on and he said ‘On my way.’  Finished dressing and all.  Heard the garage door and then Jim chatting to Maggie.
We had a quick cup, loaded Maggie in carrier and off we drove. Walked in and were told Maggie’s al checked-in then took our seats.
Short wait and quick triage. 2 minutes and doc walked in  reviewed , examined, observed and discussed.  Maggie was taken in the back for her BP and venipuncture/urine. Nurse came in with Mags then said ‘Ooops. Didn’t dry her belly. Be back” Returned.  Then doc came in and said she’d call Tuesday PM or Wednesday AM  with results and numbers. Doc had done a through physical exam and spent time with her heart---said I just hear a Grade 2 murmur maybe 3 at the worst. Took her temp, the 'other way' and her reading was 100F.  Whew!
Mags had been favoring her right leg and for the past 36 hours and the shivering was more pronounced than ever. Pain. They had placed her on that side to take her BP.  We were given  Buprenorphrine  Oral,   opioid for pain  on a PRN basis shot on the gum. After things settled at home and before Jim return to work  He cradled her and I gently prised her jaw apart and shot about half the dose. Exactly what I wanted to happen.  She’s been back in the lower room of Kondo leaning on her left  ‘arm/elbow’  favoring her right. Alert and watching me here.
Before turning in, we gave her the other half of her first dose. Tomorrow I'll see how she's doing and decide  if I'll do a full dose TID. I hope she eats her Catit and meds this AM.
 That’s where and how it all stands for the present. Just have to wait on blood/urine results in a couple of days.


Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Good Morning Beakers!

     

Phyl, thanks for all the things you 'would have posted' yesterday. Totally understand why yesterday was all about Maggie... I hope the results from the tests turn out to be something they can treat and make her feel better. Please give her some purrs from Harley and some love from me, I feel like she is part of our family. Prayers for all of you...


Lori, yes, must not forget the bacon!

Lani, it's hard to imagine you screaming at a football game!  Harley is fine, he sits with me while I am posting ... Waiting for update on LGK and LGL's Egg!


oldguy, sad to hear that Lesley will no longer be making the bird videos, I will miss her lovely Blue Jays and I bet they will miss her...  Also sad news about Gryndavik.

National Geographic · The meeting point of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Their waters are not stirred.The phenomenon is based on the difference in the composition of ocean water.


Berry College Eagles - We are saddened to announce that on Saturday both eggs were revealed to have collapsed. There was no sign of any real contents, so the presumption is that this season's eggs were never viable. You may see the remains of a shell on the rails of the nest. It was a nice surprise to see both eagles working on the nest this morning, customizing it to their liking. Some people have asked whether a second clutch of eggs is possible. While re-clutches do happen, they are not common. That being said, we will enjoy it and keep you updated if by some chance it does happen!

[tsk34]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

OLDGUY   Grindavik        Lesley      At least she has a lasting library of information for everyone to enjoy.  Liked the mash up of Pink Panther/007     Loved the calligraphy piece     Santi/Vasek 

LANI   Love to fall asleep to rain.  Salt trucks just went by - raining now lightly but we are on the cusp of freezing.

LORI   You remembered the bacon for OLDGUY 

PHYL   ((((Maggie))))  So hard to go through. 

CLYNN   What sad news at the Berry nest

Royal Albatross Cam - Posted 14 hours ago.

1/23 Hello little Top Flat chick

Sharyn Ranger DOC ~This morning's check of the incubators show that the Top Flat chick is nearly hatched. A lot of progress has been made overnight. The umbilicus is likely still attached to the membranes of the egg. The drying out process takes a few hours, but it is possible that the chick will be returned to the nest later today. The down will be nice and fluffy by then.



UPDATE: Posted 2 hours ago

1/23 Here comes TF chick with Ranger Colin!



Royal Albatross ~ The Top Flat Chick Has Hatched! 🐣 Welcome To The World Little One! 💗 1.23.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8xQ_HMsB30

The Top Flat chick hatched earlier today in the incubator but the rangers had to wait to return it to the nest because of the bad weather. While they were waiting, Mama LGL came in and had a wonderful reunion with LGK. She must have known that her chick was going to hatch today and she flew in for the celebration!!

The video begins with ranger Colin spraying around the nest with Avian Insect Liquidator a safe insect repellent to protect the hatchling from flystrike. Then Colin will bring the container with the Royalcam chick to be placed under LGL. He removes the dummy egg and puts the wee hatchling under Mom. Look at LGL smiling as she looks down lovingly at her new chick! And Colin was smiling as well as he was recording video of this blessed event!

The chick weighed 300 grams at hatching and the rangers will be making stops twice a day at the nest to weigh the chick and to check it for any flies or issues.

Congratulations to LGK and LGL on their new hatchling! And Congratulations to the entire DOC and RAC staff for all their hard work in hatching the chicks in incubators and then returning them to the nest. All of us Aunties and Uncles are thrilled to take part in another season of watching this little chick grow up and fledge! Thank you for watching!

Penguins are slow to evolve, making them vulnerable to climate change
