Still here...

I can't believe today is the last day of July. Seems like just yesterday I was looking forward to watching the July 4th fireworks, and now the month is gone. But that's OK... August starts the countdown to my birthday! I'll be (cough, cough!)

Getting older is not my thing. I really don't like it. The 'fun' milestones have past and I just don't like that number getting higher and higher. So, I will just lie, lie, lie... until I get the look from someone that says, "Really? You look much older than that." Anyway...

Latest on Monte... he's not doing so well. We don't know what it is. He'll be chugging along great and then suddenly he decides, "Hey, let's throw a little excitement into our lives - I have a new mystery illness." And a mystery it truly is. For the last two weeks (and this is gross), he's been "going" everywhere but in his litter box. Great. His two favorites spots? Our bed and the sofa. So, he's now banned from the bedroom - and our lovely sofa is covered with a new plastic sheet and puppy pads. Yep, we decided that washing our covers, sheets and sofa cover every couple of days is NOT fun.

Took Monte to the vet for this sudden behavioral change - not a clue. (Throwing hands up into air)

Don't know what to do... it's very frustrating, to say the least. Thirteen years with Monte and he has NEVER been like this. Ever.

We've changed his box. Trying new litter. He has an interest in the box, but then we'll still find a surprise on the sofa. ARGH!!! And I'm completely grossed out. (shudder).

Hmmm, so that's where my July went.
