Butterball and Stupid Cats

So, I have been pet sitting for my mom, she has 5 dogs and numerous cats, but Butterball is the reason I have been pet sitting. Ringo (I call her Butterball because she loves to snuggle and hug and can slip through your arms like butter!) ruptured a disc and had to have back surgery. It was so bad before surgery that she lost the use of her back legs. The cause was in part due to her age and years of jumping on and off of taller objects, like the bed, couch, and so on. Her surgery went well and after a couple weeks of healing she is now moving on the doggy rehab. We have to help her of course, doggy-bicycles with her legs and stretches and such to help her regain muscle strength and hopefully the use of them again. They're pretty freakin' cute exorcises, but aren't to be taken lightly. She has regained some use of one of her legs already, and is even able to use the bathroom by herself. I will be staying with her for the next 4-6 weeks when both my parents are at work until she's better.



On a lighter note, Mom's cats are weirdos.
