Lumpy's problems

Just a little update on our house... We don't have kids at home to worry about, so we worry about our cat. People who don't have animals don't quite understand how you can get so attached to a cat, but you animal people understand completely. Anyway, Lumpy was having trouble closing his mouth after he yawned or meowed. So we took him to a vet and come to find out, he has gingivitis and infected lymph glands. We knew he had terrible bad breath, but we didn't connect that with infection. Now he is on antibiotics and we have already noticed his breath has cleared up. He still has a little trouble closing his mouth, but I think it's helping. We take him back in three weeks and they will probably do oral surgery and remove those back teeth and do some blood work. If nothing else they will clean his teeth. Who would have thought it??
Other than that, all is well here. We are getting ready to purchase guttering and down spouts for our house and while the weather is giving us a break, we just might get it up. Our garden is winding down. We've made several quarts of salsa and have lots of green peppers. And waiting for the cantalope to ripen. I hope we have foiled the deer this year...last year they got all the cantalope.
Uncle Lester and Aunt Vi are celebrating 50 years of marriage on the 23rd of August. We probably aren't going to make it. We are trying to figure out if we can come that way on Labor Day. Dad wants to fly... I on the other hand prefer to drive and fifth wheel it. We'll see who wins out. Probably the pocket book....lol
