Oliver the Kitten Scares us Grinding Teeth

Image
Oliver, our 6-month-old kitten who has been diagnosed with FIP, gave my mom and me a heart attack around 12:00 am. It was time to give him a huge regime of medications and supplements.  We have been having a harder time getting him to take the pill. We stick it in one of those squeezable treats for cats. Eventually, he caught on to us putting a pill in the squeezable and will spit it out. I thought let's try putting the antibiotic and the pill together. We bought a pill crusher thinking it would be easier for him to get it down and easier to hide it into his treats too. Well, it didn't work. I usually give Oliver the pill first and then do the antibiotic, but this is the first time trying to do both together. Nope, it didn't work. The next thing I knew he was acting like he was choking. There is no way there was anything he could choke on.  When he allowed me to look in his mouth I didn't see anything. I called our local ER Vet. Vet Tech: Is he looking like he

Undoing by Desserae K Shepston Book Review

SYNOPSIS:       Rebecca stared hard into the darkness, barely able to make out the outline of the mountain from the light of the moon. She thought about what was behind that mountain. She knew who lived out that way. That was ranchland, worked by the parents of a boy she went to school with. He was a year older than her. Daniel Morgan. She didn't know him other than to recognize him in passing in the halls. He was one to notice. Jet black hair. Green eyes. Gentle smile. Tall and lean and just so perfectly muscular from helping on the ranch. But. He was off-limits. He was of a different social Tier, and those lines could not be crossed. Council was quite clear on this...       Rebecca glanced at her watch. It felt like she'd been waiting for much more than the three minutes that had passed since she first came to the window. 1:59 a.m. Her eyes shifted back to the darkness and the ghost of a mountain in the distance, just as a change started to occur. Jonathan was right... ​

Tooth Fairy, You Have Some Explaining To Do! by Denise Barry Children's Book Book Review

ABOUT THE BOOK : The Tooth Fairy didn't come last night, and I want to know why! Did she forget? did she run out of money? Was this a mean joke? Maybe my mother was right when she said my room is so messy she won't find my bed! The Tooth Fairy has some explaining to do.  Age Range:  5 - 6 years Hardcover:  38 pages Publisher:  Mascot Books (May 7, 2019) Language:  English ISBN-10:  1643070193 ISBN-13:  978-1643070193 MY BOOK REVIEW It is hard to review this book because there are things I loved about this book, but there was more I didn't like about the book. The pace of the story is great. There is some rhyming which helped the pace of reading it out loud.   I am not a fan of Denise Barry making the tooth fairy very clumsy. The child couldn't figure out why the tooth fairy didn't come. I thought for sure it was going to be because the child's mother didn't have the money, but it was because the tooth fairy was broke and dropped the teet
