The lab finally got back to the vet, and the vet got back to us!

Ginger has a hyper-thyroid issue. We're starting her on a special food tomorrow and her life should be back to its usual run fairly soon.

Which is good, because I spent half an hour tonight chasing her around the house tonight. Her fuzzy little face of betrayal when I climbed up to fetch her down from the top of the dividing wall between the kitchen and the library.

No, wait, that isn't how this game works!

We bought the Ginger cat a little harness today, so that she can go outside without her agoraphobia resulting in Lost Cat and panicked hiding in the bushes.

Now she and I and Mom and Peter and the Mikey dog are on the patio doing work. The harness is, it turns out, not really that great and we'll have to try another one, but this one was deeply discounted so that's okay, and it is adequate for the present purpose. The present purpose being allowing Ginger to hang out on her cushion next to me at the picnic table, sniffing the air and chilling with her people.
