Who ha, get dat pig! Here he comes Kali…snort, snort.
Do you think our friend Bacon looks like this pig, Shoko? Sure, if he wore a grass skirt. Snort, snort.
Hey it’s quiet, where’s mom? She’s gone to the dentist. Oh cwap…I know how she feels ….poor mom. It’s just for a cleaning. Just…. JUST for a cleaning…cleanings are, *HELL on nip.* They take weeks to get over. You’re being dramatic again Shoko. They’re not that bad. Are too!
Mom’s home…my what clean teeth you have mom. Hey what’s dad doing? Kali…. Kali!
Kali stands up yelling in her carrier. Mew, Mew Mew….(translation)…run and hide Shoko. You don’t have to tell me twice Kali, I’m gone. Cwap…get away mom. Shoko lays down in her travel box.
I know where we’re going. It’s no mystery Shoko. We only ever go to the vet in the car. Maybe we’ll get Dr. Sara, I like her. She’s still going to poke and prod us, Kali. 
I demand to go home…IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner.
Nobody’s listening to me Kali. I guess they mean business. 
Dr. Sara said I have excellent teeth. They look like a 1 year olds teeth. Wow, I’m doing good. I also have some arthritis in my back leg but not like Kali. What? NO, not me! She said I have gained over a pound since I got my teeth out. Lordy, not a diet. Dr. Sara told mom to weigh me once a week to see if I’m still getting voluptuous (my word not hers) and if I am we’ll have to do something because I’m risking diabetes. Mom’s told me what a terrible disease this is. I’m depressed. Dr, Sara gave me 3 needles and then I was really down in the dumps.
Kali was next.
Kal was given the once over and prodded like a toy. Dr. Sara showed mom how to massage Kali’s back and joints. Kali’s iris’ have a fair bit of grey mist over them. This means she doesn’t see well. She would see things out of her peripheral vision better. However if a cat moved, her eyes will catch the movement.
Then we went home. There was no yelling or singing the song of our Meezer ancestors. Dr. Sara gave us lots to think about.
When we arrived home I headed for the bathroom.
OK mom, let’s weigh in like Dr. Sara said. I don’t want to get diabetes or anything else.
May you have the lapse of memory to forget the people you never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that you do,
And the eyesight to tell the difference.
SHOKO…..BLACK
KALI…..ORANGE 
It’s good to be aware of how to look after your health…can you get a special vet-approved diet kibble? Unfortunately, ladies who have had a certain operation can be prone to a little extra..voluptuousness…
Hope Mom’s teeth have settled down and Happy New Year to you all! 🙂 xxx

Mom says she is going to restrict the amount of kibble I get. Instead of filling the bowl up during the day I will be restricted to one bowl a day. We will be getting more exercise too,either outside in the snow or down in the basement. Then at the end of the week at weigh in time, we’ll see if it helps.
Happy, happy New Year.

I wasn’t that fond of 2016, either. For one thing, it was way too political. I am cautiously optimistic that Trump will fulfill his campaign promises, and I am equally disgusted at the measures Obama is taking prior to stepping aside.
LikeLike
Trump is a big question mark and I’d much rather he was back doing his business in NY rather than in office. I don’t trust him a bit. He has managed to talk out of both sides of his mouth. I get the idea that this is all a big joke to him. He will make a point of doing what is best for him and if the country pays for it…..so?
We don’t hear a lot of political news here so the only things I have heard about Obama have been positive in my opinion. Like putting aside lands for parks.
LikeLiked by 1 person
IMHO obama has been the worst president in US history and I’m sure there isn’t enough space in this comments section to detail why. He’s basically ruined our country’s health care system, created a situation wherein racial tension is much worse than 8 years ago, taken God out of as much as he could and if that wasn’t enough, meddled in other countries with such incompetence that Egypt has an arrest warrant out for him and his cohort, Hillary.
BTW, while I love parks, did you realize he set those lands aside despite the fact that the people in those states didn’t want them protected in such a way that they could not be enjoyed by the public?
LikeLike
I gather you dispise the man and his methods but I am curious, what has he done to make the parks not enjoyable to the public?
LikeLiked by 1 person
He has not designated the land ‘parks’ he designated them monuments, which means that no one can use/enjoy the area. IF he had made them parks, I wouldn’t be so opposed to his high-handedness.

I’m not up on the difference between the two but I guess peeps can’t have picnics or play in the areas. Which is a shame. However, no oil or gas companies can drill there either.
