So sorry about the cat. Turns out you may be way kinder than me- I’d have thrown that cat out by now if it required asthma meds. lol. Girl, that wildflower shot is AWESOME! And a fun collection of pics to get a glimpse into your life there. Happy WW friend!

Aw, thanks Lish! I found myself lacking a good Wordless Wednesday photo so I just went around the house snapping away. lol I went outside to pick the wildflower and tried to get the kitty to pose with it, so I fired her and hired the wildflower instead.
And yes, the asthma meds… I’ve started taking regular allergy meds since we brought the cat home. As for the asthma inhaler, I’ve only had to use it in emergency situations maybe once a year, but I’m using this sucker once every other day now.

I would need 10 inhalers sitting there. My lungs really close up. I also get giddy like I’m drunk. I’m not drunk, it’s just part of the reaction.

Great photo’s!

I wish I had your talent to make every day random things look so good in a picture! Pretty kitty! I actually took a pic of my Nikon cap a few weeks ago! Ha! What camera/lens do you have? You’ve probably said before, but I can’t remember or I missed it.

Kristi (4340 comments) twitter: @TweetingMama

Trust me Liz, I’m not a cat fan. And you’ll be sad to hear this…Rocky (our Weiner pup) is living with a new family. We’re so heartbroken, but we just couldn’t give him the attention he deserves every day of the week. Sports and family outings played a part and he still needed to be taken out regularly during the day. We miss him so much, but my husband’s friend is taking such great care of him and he’s doing well. Please tell me I’m not a bad doggie owner. Also, my husband got the cat without consulting me. I wanted to wring his neck!!!

WeeMason's Mom (35 comments) twitter: @weemasonsmom

Awww, what a gorgeous kitty!!!

Have you tried a preventative inhaler (like asthmanex) to lessen your need for the albuterol inhaler? That might help!

Hopefully my friend from Infertile Nanny isn’t linking up today – she might come steal your owls!

Kristi (4340 comments) twitter: @TweetingMama

No, I haven’t tried a preventative inhaler. We just got her 4 days ago and I’ve been using the inhaler I’ve been prescribed for occasional asthma attacks. I’m also taking Claritin, but I do need to schedule an appointment to get something better. Thanks for the suggestion!

Keep Infertile Nanny away. These owls are mine! lol

Kristy (58 comments)

I love your pics today! Your things around the house are beautiful. I love the owls. And, that cat? What a great looking personality there!
