I just added a couple cute pictures, and will add more later, to my
new folder at rpca pictures. The folder is titled CATherine's Amazing
Companions.

I will also send the pictures to alt.binaries.pictures.animals for
those who aren't members.

What a clever cat Amber is! He reads with his head eyes, not the eye under
the tail. ;o) I hope Robin didn't have anything bad to report to the
Mothership.

Sometimes Amber is almost human.
Well, the way Robin's eyes were gowing so brightly, it must have been
an important conference. Maybe i better be on the alert for important
happenings. ;-D

Amber is so fuzzy and sweet, and Robin (in spite of scary glowing eyes) such
sleek gray fur. Your boys look healthy and happy.

They are healthy and happy. And very loving. With all this warm
weather, Amber has shed what shaggy winter fur he had. He didn't have
that much since I don't let them out much in the winter. But he is a
Maine Coon mix and the fur is incredibly soft. And never mats.

Hey, Britta! They are now advertising 2 kinds of that epi-pen thing on tv
here; some chick choking on her pasta because seafood got into it; she whips
out her epi-pen and voila - she can breathe again. Two different milligrams
I guess. But still Rx it says.
I've seen these ads almost as frequently as those for Plavix, something I
have to take.

<sigh>  Would be nice, Hop.  Would be nice.  But we now know for 100% sure
that there is no epi pens in Thailand.  At the big, main hospital in
Bangkok, the best hospital in Asia, they have to actually send people to the
US or Europe and have them hand carry epi pens back here for the hospital to
use!  Yikes!  They don't sell them because the quantity is so limited.  But
thankfully Dennis got one from a guy he works with who is allergic to bee
stings.  And Dennis' mom got him 6 in Calgary (back home) and there is a guy
who works in Southern Thailand who was recently in Calgary and he
rendezvoused with Dennis' mom and she gave him 2 epi pens and he brought
them back with him.  Now we need for him to give them to another guy who is
coming up here from S. Thailand on May 3, and we'll have 3 whole epi
pens...woo hoo!
Dennis has an appointment on May 4 to sit in the hospital in Bangkok an eat
a mango in front of them.  They will stand by with one of *their* epi pens
(don't want to waste ours!) and save him in case anything happens.  Poor
Dennis, he's been avoiding Mangos for 2 months now, just in case.  Just last
night, there was a Mango Margarita bash and Dennis had to drink vodka and
soda :-(  Life's rough ;-)

That sounds scary!  I hope the doctor visit will go well.
Hopitus2 - 24 Apr 2004 05:10 GMT
I'm personally allergic to mangos (they are on every other tree down here)
but there are, as in other allergies, variations and intensities. As long as
I don't eat them, all is well. Unlike many, I can handle them, cut them up,
even mix drinks with them. Some allergic people can't even handle the fruit
skins, much less the pulp. Sure hope Dennis is allergic to something easy to
find out.

I remember hearing about a peds nurse who went into anaphylatic shock
after spilling some ampicillin suspension on her arm. She had no idea
she was allergic, and it took a while before they figured out what
caused her reaction. This was many years ago while I was still an Army
Pharmacy NCO.

I'm sure I'm missing something :-), but can't they just be shipped to
him?

No, because they have to stay at a temperature range of between something
like 17-30C, so it's hard to make sure it stays like that when in the mail.
Too risky to ship it and then if you need it in an emergency if it's gone
bad, you could die.

That is the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture in the
camera. But you can't see Amber's long fluffy tail in the picture. And
his round bulk is mostly fluffy hair. He is actually quite slender.

I haven't heard anything about Vino for some time now. What antics is
getting up to?

Hmm, well I wouldn't call Vino slender.  But he has maintained a weight of
12 lbs for all of his adult life, so at least he's stable!
Vino's doing well, very happy to have both his meowmie and paw home at the
same time.  I suspect that the people who took care of him while we were
gone last fed him a lot of treats because suddenly he's become a major food
hound.  He's trying to get food all the time and licks our plates, something
he rarely did before.  I'll have to wean him off that.
Also, he has developed a very accurate internal clock for waking me up in
the morning.  He comes in every half hour on the half hour starting at 6 am.
This morning I was visited at 6 am, 6:30 am, 7 am and 7:30 am before I
finally got up.  I have had to remove all objects from the shelf on my
headboard and apply another coating of Tabasco sauce to the electrical
cords.  Little sh.t!
Vino's 6th birthday is coming up on May 5.  We'll have to celebrate a couple
of days early because we'll be in Bangkok for Dennis' allergy appointment
and a Cinqo de Mayo party.

Oh, my! The years pass so fast anymore. I still think of Vino as a
youngster. Sounds like your petsitters were utterly smitten with him
and spoiled him rotten. Just like grandparents. ;-)) Thanks for the
update.
