Dr. Doolittle

My cat Bruce has been living a cage for a while in our laundry room while we care for a big abscess he got in a cat fight. He had to have a little procedure and now he has a tube sticking out of his neck to drain the infection. He requires a lot of care. I really enjoy helping out with the medicines, though, as well as giving him food and a little TLC.

Tonight, on my own accord, I brought back a copy of a favorite book called Go, Dog, Go. Then I sat down and read a few pages by heart to my my kitty. I showed him each page after I read it outloud. "Go, dogs, go, (or "do-ga-do")" "Go by blimp ("bee-blimp")" and of course..."A dog party! ("Par-tay!")"

Then, I proceeded to feed Bruce imaginary pieces of cake from the book.

My Mom was quite impressed and I'm expecting my extra care to speed up the recovery...
