Día de los Muertos

Hey pals! Today it are da second day of día de los muertos, the Mexican holiday that celebrates the dead.

We're celebrating by wearing our día de los muertos bandanas.

Día de los muertos wuz also da momma's theme this Meowloween - some of y'all said ya wanted to see pictures, so here ya go. And ya know my momma - there are a LOT of pickshures. 

My momma.

She made the bandana and skirt herself (she already had the top). Bowie's momma helped wif her makeup.

They had tejano and mariachi music going outside.

Da mommas also made da flower garland. 

Here's the front yard.

Bowie's momma mostly did her own makeup, but my momma helped some.

It looks like a fiesta for shures!

As ya an probably figger out, my momma wuz pretty happy wif da decorayshuns.

She found these toys at Party City.

And she painted this sign.

They had a good Halloween - passing out candy, then going out to eat and to the movies.

My momma even scared a trick or treater who thought she wuz a decorayshun until she moved!

Ok, now for my health update. It's confusing. 

My blood results came back and my liver enzymes are high - my ALT is 341. Looking at my past results, before I wuz sick, my normal seemed to be around 50. Now, I have been on prednisolone, which can increase ALT numbers, but probably not that much. We found this out on Halloween and the vet wanted me to come in for fluids (even though he did NOT give my momma a diagnosis). My momma couldn't bring me in and I wuz eating, drinking, and being very active. And she wuzannoyed with da vet - no real results so far and he wuz rude and said he knew there were "budgetary concerns" when I went in on Tuesday. Well, yeah, EVERYONE has a budget. And she has spent thousands of dollars on this and can't afford to spend thousands every week for fluids when I am doing well at home. Well, Friday morning, he calls Bowie's momma and leaves a snotty message asking what we are going to do about my hepatitis. Like we are uncaring people. My momma has been worried about me for OVER a month now, I've been going to the vet and he can't seem to figure out how to fix me. It feels like he is just throwing s%#t at the wall to see what sticks - and charging us through da nose for it. So she's going to wean me off of the steroids this weekend - if I keep eating and doing well, good. If I don't, we're going to another vet for a second opinion. My momma has also ordered me some liquid hepato (milk thistle) - we've given it to animals (Maurice and Finley) with liver issues before with good results.

So that's the news for me. Angelique and Bowie are both doing good - even if they didn't get chikken livers like me. Being sick has its advantages I guess.

Oh, and my momma has some día de los muertos Caturday art to contribute - a gato de muertos!

Happy Caturday!
