Giovanni Recovers from Surgery

 

Hi everybody, it's me, Giovanni!

It has been four whole days since my surgery. Me is (mostly) being a good boy and leaving my bandage alone, but sometimes it just annoys me so much that me has to try and get it off! Me hasn't been successful, though. 

Mama watches me while hers is awake, and when hers sleeps, hers has me wear that pesky orange donut collar. Me can usually get it off, though, MOL! Unfortunately, any time Mama gets up to go to the bathroom, hers checks on me, and if hers sees my donut is not on, hers will put it back on me. 

Mama is spoiling me extra while me recovers. See? Hers even brings my food to me. Me doesn't even have to get up and go to my usual food spot. A mancat could get used to this...

Mama took me to the v-e-t on my birthday. Can yous believe that?! The vet tech changed my bandage. Hers told Mama that my foot looks good and it be healing nicely. 

There be a rumor me is going back tomorrow to get my bandage changed again. We will see about that...MOL! 

Happy 2nd Birthday, Giovanni!

 

Hi everybody, it's me, Giovanni, and March 29th be my birthday! Me is two years old today!

Mama said hers gotted me a couple of fun prezzies, but hers said me can't have them for a couple of weeks! My prezzies, hers says, will make me want to run around and play, and de vet doesn't want me running around or playing too hard while me recovers from my tumor removal surgery. 

Soooo......Mama felt so bad that hers gotted me another prezzie! Hers says this prezzie won't have me moving around. But it won't be here until Monday. Me wonders what it be?!

In de meantime, Mama bought me some vanilla ice cream at de store for me to enjoy. Me loves me some ice cream! 

The Mom here: I cannot believe my sweet baby boy is two years old already! It seems like just yesterday that I was bringing him home as a 10-week-old kitten, so small that he fit in one hand. He's grown up to be such a handsome, loving, and sweet boy who loves to run and play, be up high, and look out the window. 

I can't wait to see all the great things this year has in store for Giovanni and what new memories we'll create together!

Happy Birthday, Giovanni!

We love you so much, sweet orangie!

Love,

Tylan and Mom 

Thankful Thursday

 Hi everyone, it's the Mom here with an update on Giovanni. We are joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday blog hop today.

Giovanni went in yesterday (Wednesday) for his mast cell tumor removal surgery. I knew he would be really scared at the vet, so I brought a shirt I'd worn recently along with me so he'd at least have my scent with him in his kennel while he was there. 

Giovanni got the awesome vet tech that loves Tylan so much! She was very attentive to my baby. She texted me right before they took him into surgery and gave me a nice detailed update when he woke up. She said Giovanni was really scared by the dog they were spaying yesterday, so she covered his kennel with a towel. She said that helped some, but she could tell he was still really scared. She had put my shirt in the kennel with Giovanni, but when she noticed how scared he still was, she took my shirt and covered him up with it. Then, he curled right up and had a nap! Mama for the win! I'm so, so happy he finds comfort in me, and I'm glad I thought to bring something with my scent on it for him. The vet tech suggested I bring a shirt with us every time we come because it helped him so much. So sweet.

Purrs and Prayers for Giovanni

Hi everybody, it's me, Giovanni!

Last week, Mama packed Tylan up in his carrier to take hims to acupuncture. But then hers grabbed me and put me in a carrier, too! Me was not amused.

Once at de vet, me busied myself trying to find a way out of de room to go back home while Tylan made himself comfortable on de floor and waited for de vet to come rub his belly. 

Me was there to get a pedicure since Mama can't see well enough to do it herself at home. So, de tech took me to de back, which was really scary! When hers brought me back to Mama, hers said me was really brave. Once de tech put me on de floor, me wedged myself between de bench and de wall while me waited for Tylan to have his acupuncture.

Mama was talking de vet about me. She said they found some kind of bump on my foot. 

As Tylan was getting his pedicure, Mama picked me up and set me  on de table. And then came de needle.....it poked my foot bump, and de vet went away for a few minutes. 

And then hers came back and gave Mama de news.... Me will let Mama tell you about it.

Thankful Thursday

 We are joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday blog hop today because we have a special reason to be thankful today.

Some of you might know that Dad Terry from Brian's Home - Forever is my best friend. That's right, he is a saint and puts up with my babbling away at him every single day! 

A lot of you who know Terry know that he has 9 kitties and a wonderful wife named Celesta. Today is Celesta's birthday, and we are thankful for HER today!

I don't know Celesta as well as Terry, but here are few things I DO know about her:

• Celesta's favorite color is purple (I love purple, too!).
• She is a good cook. Terry is always making me jealous by telling me what he's having for dinner. I wish I could go and taste some of Celesta's delicious cooking myself!
• Celesta loves kitties as much as I do.
• She loves Christmas movies, and she reads a lot of books. 
• Celesta is thoughtful, kind, and sweet! 

I have even gotten to talk to Celesta a few times before, which was really cool! 

The boys and I hope you have a most wonderful birthday today, Celesta! We are thankful for you and your friendship, and we love you!

Purrs and love,

Tylan, Giovanni, and Mom Sierra
