So we have a brand new hot water heater and I was able to take a shower at home for the first time in a week.  It was awesome.  I also have to say that the water seems a bit hotter than the old hot water heater.  I just about burned myself! It’s small things like hot water that we take advantage of.

We took Tonks, our larger cat, into the vet yesterday to have some work done (teeth cleaned, blood work and an x-ray on his leg).  The x-ray wasn’t good.  His kneecap is all the way to the inside, rather than on top of the knee.  Not good, but it’s also WAY expensive to fix.  He gets around pretty good so for the time being we are going to leave it.  The bad part is that when we brought him home his brother, Frodo, thinks he’s a whole different cat and won’t get close to him.  Hisses and growls at him.  I’m starting to think that Frodo has some mental issues, but I’m not sure.  I hope that somewhere along the line they start to get along again. Tonks is a bit confused by the whole situation.  Prior to the vet appointment they were the best of buds. Tag team for trying to get us up in the morning.  They’d sit in the window and clean each other.  More times than not they’d sleep together.  However Frodo is pretty determined that something is different with Tonks.
