Friday Funnies
I have a mix of "funnies" today, some winter/holiday themes, some cat themed, a few more of a social statement. I'll have an update on Derry (all is fine) below!
This (directly below) from a B.C. SPCA website, I think. (It popped up in my Pinterest feed.)
A few winter/holiday ones. The first, below, was actually posted in Teams by one my co-workers, for a morning smile.
This is the response I'd get if I tried caroling, with my croaky, off-key voice.
My favourite is the third one, personal triumphs. Alas, this pretty much sums up life in the age of social media.
Below: Not a "funny, and one you've probably seen before many times. I love the "Peanuts," whether Charles Schultz's original work or others' artwork. I had so many of the books when I was a child, and I wish I still had them!
As for this fellow...
I took him back to the vet clinic on Wednesday (originally had been scheduled for Thursday) so I could have his left eye re-checked, as well as have another sensor applied.
He had been blinking his (left) eye, the problem one, a fair bit, but happily there is no sign of an ulcer and all seems to be fine. Fingers crossed that remains the case. He gets eye lubricant (gel) twice a day and the anti-inflammatory (gel) once a day. Poor guy. He tolerates it because he gets treat afterward!
His sensor readings have been within normal too, at least for the past 24 hours. If that remains the case, I probably won't bother with another sensor again unless he shows signs of excessive thirst and litterbox use, etc.
He's also up 0.23 kg (about half a pound). He IS overweight, but I'd rather he have some extra fat than none, especially at his age (15.5).
He's currently spending most of his time under the guest bed, which he started doing earlier this week, before the vet visit. Why he wants to be upstairs in the coldest room in the house, in winter, is beyond me!
The "sketch" was done using Toolwiz Photos. I saw a glowing review of it when I was looking for photo editing apps, so thought I'd try it. I haven't explored it much, but I did like the sketch effect.
That's it from our end for the moment. Take care, everyone. ♥

Mum and I send him some love and good wishes for his eye to get better soon and that he remains well. The sketch is pawsome!
Purrs, Julie
Those funnies are hilarious!
But the Derry pictures are always the very best.
Hoping all stays the way it is with his health.
Hugs,
Mariette
As for the funnies: drats on anything "net related", we blog that's it, drats on all other social media, a waste of time in my opinion (feet, food or otherwise, duh). Stay well, stay warm, luv ya!
That last cartoon (not the Peanuts one) seems to exemplify "first world problems."
That is a great sketch of Derry !
Derry is looking fine, and doing fine. I think you're right about not having another sensor. Keeping an eye on symptoms will likely be enough for the future.
The funnies were funny, indeed! Personal triumphs made me smile real big -- the bar is weherever you set it, I guess. LOL
Yay for Derry doing well. Paws crossed that his numbers stay "good," and his eye remains free of issues, too. We like that pencil sketch effect of your handsome dude.
Hugs to you, Kim, and scritches for Derry!
