More Mr. Max Adventures

So Mr. Max discovered Mimi’s bench and the birdbath. In fact, I think she’s having some fun leading him around because he keeps wanting to get to the driveway from the front porch or the garden, and I finally let him walk up the other side of the house to the front, things Mimi did. Well, I don’t mind, and I know what to expect! I took this photo yesterday, August 20, but I’m a day behind with everything anyway.

He’s not really eating but feeling well enough though getting somewhat lethargic so I started syringe feeding him. It’s going well and he’s back to his usual self. Hope I can get enough food into him before I leave tomorrow and Saturday. It looks like I’ll get his medication on Saturday too, but I’ll be at Rock the Quarry. I’ll start him on Sunday before I go to the farmers market, if I go.

I still plan on an ultrasound which will likely tell us more, but now it can be a regular appointment, not an urgent or emergency visit, and I called around for low-cost service and availability. They range from $200 if I can wait a month or $400-500 if I can wait a week or two. Let’s hope I sell a lot of artwork this weekend, and it’s one thing that might just push me along to the farmers market Sunday.

Thanks everyone for your purrs and prayers, support and help for Mr. Max!

I have my annual art exhibit on the Panhandle Trail this Friday-Saturday, we’re still working on the book cover but can finish next week, and I started the portrait that needs to be done by next Tuesday, so I’ll be super busy getting all that together. But I’ll try to keep updated.

Wish me good sales! This one is artwork only, so if you’re in the mood to shop on my website for kitty things, the information is below. Anything helps us get through this as I rebuild finances with my new lower insurance payment!

Or Go Shopping!

Especially after the market didn’t continue I miss that weekly income. And it was developing into a really good day with a lot of shoppers who were there for business. I sold $20 before the storm hit but spent the rest of the time, cleaning up and packing up. But you can go shopping on my website!

Visit Portraits of Animals and use the menu on the left, or under the three horizontal dashes in the top left on a mobile device, to find what you are interested in.
