A few days ago Maggy started making this noise, kinda like she was trying to get something unstuck out of her throat, I opened her mouth and checked in there with my fingers and there was nothing in there. I had been sitting on my bed with her as well so I know she didn't get into anything. Last that day she was in her kennel and did the same thing, then today when I had her outside playing, she did it out in the yard as well. She had been running and playing and I half wonder if this is because she gets to worked up and over excited? I've NEVER had a collar on her, only a harness and one that doesn't touch her neck at that, so I don't really think it could be a collapsed trachea. Going to keep a good eye on things and see if this goes away or continues to go on. She's been through so much already I just pray there isn't another thing wrong with her. When this happens, I always check her mouth and throat and never find anything in there, so I hold her close and pat her back and tell her it's ok, calm down, take it easy girl and she calms down then is fine.

I've been so tired lately & actually fell asleep early tonight as did Maggy. I was sleeping so soundly when my cell phone rang, I jumped out of bed and ran & picked it up, when someone calls me that time of night I think somethings very wrong. Here it was Jess (my daughter) she has her own cottage that is hooked onto our house. All could hear her say was, MOM, SOMTHINGS OUTSIDE, I THINK IT HAS SQUEEKER! Squeeker is a stray cat we've been taking care of since last summer, almost a whole year now. I've tried putting her in a crate on more than one occasion so that I can take her to the vet to be looked at but she won't have any part of that, she's never let any of us pick her up, but she does love to be petted. Something tore into Squeeker a few nights ago and she has a big 2 to 2 1/2 inch wound on her back by her tail. It looks terrible but I know from past experience she WILL NOT let me pick her up and get her to the vet. I was able to mix up a solution and pour over the wound to clean it, but then the temps dropped down so very low the past three days that I haven't done that cause I don't want her to get bad sick from being wet in this cold weather. I went to the vet though and picked up antibiotics for her so that I can give it to her twice a day in hopes that it'll keep the wound from getting infected and it'll heal up. Boy when I opened the back door and got out off the back porch, my heart was pounding so hard and so fast, all I could thing was OMG, Squeeker, where are you! I started yelling frantically and there she was, walking out from under the front porch where she has a bed with a bunch of comforters in there and straw surrounding her container to keep the wind and temps out. I was so scared something had gotten her. Whatever it was, it sounded aweful, I sure hope it wasn't another cat back in the woods getting attacked by something. Finally it stopped but then I could here a squeeling, it was Maggy May, she was in her kennel in my bedroom and woke up when I left the bedroom, boy, talk about a FIT!! I don't know what sounded more terrible, the sound I heard outside or Maggy squeeling for me to come back in. She's a bit spoiled I think, if I leave the room she's in and she can't follow me, oh boy, does everyone in the house hear about it! I love her though, she's my lil girlie and I wouldn't give her up for the world. Her and Luke played hard today and now that I'm back in here, she's back out like a light. Sweet dreams Lil Miss Maggy May....

Well, I just put Maggy's goodwinol medicine on her this morning, I took up her couch, her house, the rug, all her stuffed animals and made sure her kennel was shut, there was nothing for her to rub her face on to get the medicine off, so I thought, lol. The lil brat ran around the bedroom and when she realized there was nothing to wipe her face on, she ran to ME and started trying to wipe her face off on ME!!:eek: I'm tellin ya, this girls a stinker and a half and SOOO resourceful! I've GOT to think of something I can give her to distract her from the medicine. Think I may go buy her a kong today and stuff it with Old Mother Hubbard yummies, hopefully THAT will work. If I only had a lil stocking to stuff her in and hang her up for a bit while the med sunk in we'd be all set, lol.

So I finally figured out how to make a blog on here, lets see if I can fill it with a bunch of exciting things and milestones Lil Miss Maggy May has accomplished & overcome. At the moment, she's sleeping peacefully, actually the same thing I should be doing but I have to get the boys up for school in 28 minutes so I may as well stay up. I so wish I could sleep with Maggy in the bed with me, but I'm to afraid, I'm afraid I'll roll over on her and squash her & she'll get hurt badly. A few mornings ago she was laying in bed with me watching TV, we both ended up falling asleep when suddenly I jerked and woke up, Maggy was sleeping on my chest, so, I got up and put her back in her kennel. I went back to sleep and again, jerked myself awake, I wasn't sure if I just DREAMED I put her back in her kennel or if I really did. I hurried and sat up and looked all around the bed and she wasn't there, I looked in her kennel and there she was, sleeping like a lil sweetheart. I did this THREE TIMES, jerking and waking up thinking I had just dreamed I had put her in her kennel and had to get up to make sure she was really in there and not in the bed where I'd roll over and squash her. She's so tiny and delicate, I've never has such a small furbaby before, I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable sleeping with her cause of how small she is. Now the big dogs, the 95 pounders, I can sleep with them no problem, but Maggy, she's so small I'd end up rolling over, fluffing her up and thinking she was a pillow, lol. I wonder if anyone else worries this much about sleeping with their tiny furbabies?
