Ringer's Solution and Whipping Cream

Oscar has several experts involved in his case. Not case-managers, per se, but people who are interested in his welfare. Squirrel expert, Lynne, mentioned that he is not putting on weight and growing fur in keeping with his month-old age and suggested that I beef-up his formula with cream. I don't get cream in my coffee but Oscar is fattening up on a dollop added to his formula



Look at the fat little belly now! And note how his features and tail are taking on squirrel characteristics. He no longer looks like a baby Boxer.

In the photo above, he is flaked out in May-Lo's warm, cosy hand. (May-Lo, prettier sister to J-Lo, of course.). She  brought Oscar some important Ringer's saline solution, which is also mixed with his formula to keep his kidneys perking along. Ringer's was invented by British physiologist, Sydney Ringer (1836-1910).

Something Else the Cat Dragged Home

I'm not raising it beautiful as it is.



Look at the detail on the wings.

Movie Perils

Tried to up-load movie of Oscar dining but there are technical difficulties. Worked the first time....

Meanwhile, Oscar and I enjoyed a day in the Quebec countryside yesterday and we are off to Almonte later today.

What a little world-traveler he is!

I'll try the movie again once I get tech-support up and at 'em.

Back in the Gatineau, QC

Oscar and I spent the day in the Gatineau, up Highway 148, close by to Shawville, outside of Luskville.

He enjoyed his stay and I brought his heating pad this time so he didn't have to stay in the car.

This the other thing, usually, we travel in a Dodge Caravan which is a smooth vehicle. This time, we were in an old MG. Loud, breezy and rocky. He was OK, good little trooper that he is.

Later today, expect more video of Oskee.

Oscar is Learning to Crawl

Wow, look at the little dickens go!


New skills for Oscar and me.

A Sunbeam Shines on Oscar

As Oscar napped after a mid-morning drink of water, I am hydrating him every few hours using an electrolyte solution and tap water, a sunbeam streamed through the kitchen window and touched his somewhat furry little head.

Oscar Makes the Front of the Fridge

He's not exactly a popular fridge magnet, not yet, at least, but he made the front of my fridge after I printed out the first hard copy photo of him. He joins a cadre of other actors, bad and otherwise.
