I told that cricket not to come in here.

Before Jason left for his deployment, we took Jasper to the vet for his routine bloodwork. The results were better than last time, but his blood sugar is still too high for comfort, so we increased his insulin dosage. We also had the techs clean up a hot spot on his face, resulting in a gnarly-looking open wound and a zombie haircut. Not to worry, though, Lola kissed it to make it better and he is healing up nicely.


Jacob and Lola have been keeping themselves busy with non-veterinary pursuits. Before Jason left, Jacob did everything he could to be a stowaway, including hiding inside Jason's sleeping bag and sea bag.



Lola has been working on her chameleon powers.


And finally, Jacob and Jasper take my safety very seriously while the man of the house is gone, and quickly dispatch all interloping crickets.

Take THAT, cricket jerk!
I'm glad you have such big, strong guys to watch after you while the hubs is away!

I'm quite impressed by Lola's powers!

Wow - go kitty-cats in cricket catching and killing! :)

The TX crickets are rather large...I'm missing MI today. Fall is going to be here soon, and I won't see the colors. BOO!

Your posts ALWAYS make me miss my kitties. Especially when they would kill disgusting spiders for me. LOL
