\"\"You may notice that I\u2019m using a lot of photos in my posts lately of a calico kitten. That\u2019s Olivia, our new adorable rescue. Isn\u2019t she cute? She is keeping us busy and keeping us laughing. What fun. We had a setback last week, however. She had more of her kitten vaccines on Friday. This one included leukemia and evidently it can cause discomfort for a kitten. Our veterinarian told us after she got the shot that she might be lethargic for 24 hours or so. Poor Olivia, she \"\"was so miserable. I felt awful for her. She slept for nearly 24 hours, couldn\u2019t bring herself to eat, and when she walked, she limped. So sad to see. I called the veterinarian first thing Saturday morning and she suggested \"\"1\/8th<\/sup> of a baby aspirin (or what used to be called a baby aspirin\u2014the 81-mil). I don\u2019t know if that helped or if the discomfort just ran its course, but the following morning she was herself again\u2014more needy and demanding\u2014active and alert.<\/p>\n

Our world has changed since Olivia joined us. I\u2019ve redecorated to protect her (and some of my breakables), my work schedule has changed\u2014there\u2019s more playing going on. She\u2019s learning food-station boundaries (that she can eat her kitten food in peace at her feeding-station, but that Sophie\u2019s food is off limits).<\/p>\n

I adore her enthusiasm for life, her affectionate nature, her energy, even her spit-fire attitude, but short of closing my office door while I\u2019m working, there seems to be no way to discourage her from trotting over my keyboard\u2014and I have to admit, there are times when my office door is closed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
