Suddenly I got a text message from him: a very SPECIAL text with a very special picture attached. This picture made me so excited, I responded in a flurry of text messages back to him. My husband responded with more pictures. I then sent him about a million texts back, all with the same message: <span style="font-weight: bold;">GET ME THIS!</span><br /><br />A week later, "this" came to our house.<br /><br />Would you like to see "this?"<br />Are you ready?<br />Would you like to see -- really really REALLY like to see???<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEa0C5VyO6Yl-f26628rpUyrLE6Q5FhUSDbpChvykmx8uUIH97sQeKz46g_YAYvysREnOEQqih1UVcA2PUaF9T6xR5F-sGLuc9UGC9_LVLjTfiHaS6DLSBZWS10l5Uae2823nMbwjwZCNw/s1600-h/IMG_5987.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEa0C5VyO6Yl-f26628rpUyrLE6Q5FhUSDbpChvykmx8uUIH97sQeKz46g_YAYvysREnOEQqih1UVcA2PUaF9T6xR5F-sGLuc9UGC9_LVLjTfiHaS6DLSBZWS10l5Uae2823nMbwjwZCNw/s400/IMG_5987.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440116945378903474" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Introducing: MISO!</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">That's right: we have a new kitty -- a new MANCAT ADOPTED-BROTHER <span style="font-style: italic;">HIMALAYAN</span> kitty!<br /><br />Miso was in a cage in the pet food store next door to our vet hosptial, looking for his forever home. His details are unclear, but apparently he had been found as a stray back around August or October, wondering around in someone's yard, with severely matted fur and chronic diarrhea. I guess he stayed at the hospital for all that time as they worked to figure out the cause of his diarrhea.<br /><br />Here he is in his little cage -- poor baby!<br /><br /></div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ4uxjH4vT3p7ersnsQl286w9EO2uMumJtRu5ppLdlV3vO4hnJVdxNpOemCtBQFQrUvT2Xbz0WxWUQv38mqz30u_A7o6M0cRUALEyXq8PWr50UR6Amd4uiL6KmqS58195zsdhOaP_XYVJy/s1600-h/miso.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ4uxjH4vT3p7ersnsQl286w9EO2uMumJtRu5ppLdlV3vO4hnJVdxNpOemCtBQFQrUvT2Xbz0WxWUQv38mqz30u_A7o6M0cRUALEyXq8PWr50UR6Amd4uiL6KmqS58195zsdhOaP_XYVJy/s400/miso.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440119584336741218" border="0" /></a><br />I had to wait a week to find out if we could adopt him -- my husband put in an application that same day but apparently someone else had an application in ahead of us. Lucky for us, they never returned the hospital's phone calls -- so last Monday, I brought him home to live with US!<br /><br />He's a doll-faced Himalayan -- no flatface like Zuzu, more like Anna -- but undoubtedly a Himmie: blue eyes, darky points (I think blue point?), chunky fat little body with shorty legs and fluff! Where on earth he came from, I can't imagine -- how could anyone abandon him? Did he get lost? He's only about a year and a half -- poor baby!<br /><br />So far the transitioning period has been going well -- the first few days Anna hissed her head off at him and Zuzu just looked at him like "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!?" A week and a half later, Zu still avoids him (but watches him with big Zuzu eyes!) and Anna only hissed once today -- when Miso butted into her, in that "pet me" way he has. We're working now on getting him used to Carter -- Carter wants to play very badly, but Miso is "HISSSSSSS, NO DOGGY!" Today, however, they've been staring at each other through the baby gate I have up most of the night with no hissing or barking -- BIG improvement. The hardest part of the transition seems to be getting all kitties on one food: Miso's diarrhea seems to have completely stopped on a special diet of prescription low fat/high protein food. Rather then mess around with what's working for him, I've decided to switch the girls to that, as Anna is prone to diarrhea about twice a month herself (wonder if it's a breed thing?) We have to do this transition very slowly, a little at a time, so as not to upset their tummies!<br /><br />The best thing about Miso Mancat BrotherBoy Kitty is his temperament: he's a big purring loveball, very sweet with the softest meow I ever heard -- softer even than Zuzu's tiny meow!<br /><br />I'll keep you posted -- just wanted to share the news!Kim, Mia, Annabelle, Zuzu and Misohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00339546749187980804noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492048849878564657.post-33382579272126998272010-01-22T05:52:00.004-05:002010-01-22T05:59:41.245-05:00I Can Drawz Zuzu!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY5CQsHXCViVempKz1W0qrUvhA4dthPxBqpv2gut2UfiaA8Oqxyo47CfBGz-X0qkVQgoQHRknL_7skx21yS69mE__evPhzrC0KFVzG7s__16I9xF6jQFWUS-UvPybqyFQcj_U_Vr_BUTmC/s1600-h/Boogsbwsig.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

(I usually groom them in the bathroom, as the water, cotton balls and all the other stuff I need is in there.)<br /><br />Here's some pictures from last weekend's session.<br />Zuzu came first and within 30 seconds, Anna ran in and tried to take over.<br />Notice how close she is sitting to Zuzu, trying to get me to groom <span style="font-style: italic;">her</span>:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmTvc4TOXgGcf2Jiwxr-mVJXfg7PkSaBDOnbrFBedehy5MSUHcwMdy7WBWDc9naFXc9iedXQqoN0ubdDVKxt2kO-A0zH6joygiBWU2YthFkPwv8CuqUHedNT0XUcPcqe58WazmdGMItQx/s1600-h/IMG_4417.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmTvc4TOXgGcf2Jiwxr-mVJXfg7PkSaBDOnbrFBedehy5MSUHcwMdy7WBWDc9naFXc9iedXQqoN0ubdDVKxt2kO-A0zH6joygiBWU2YthFkPwv8CuqUHedNT0XUcPcqe58WazmdGMItQx/s400/IMG_4417.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340800213592861666" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_0l7W49a7WKQKSfmkk6UxN7Nrw2lmGsBPJKxdhfOzTKWHx15y5PJWg7VFqlGkJo3trjK9aXqcNn4BJU3o6MpAMfQPf47pW-1mu94mPTHkH2aGmW5_APlL2-1jSvqSjnEgyTsoeTv76zrb/s1600-h/IMG_4410.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 334px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_0l7W49a7WKQKSfmkk6UxN7Nrw2lmGsBPJKxdhfOzTKWHx15y5PJWg7VFqlGkJo3trjK9aXqcNn4BJU3o6MpAMfQPf47pW-1mu94mPTHkH2aGmW5_APlL2-1jSvqSjnEgyTsoeTv76zrb/s400/IMG_4410.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340800099891834226" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwkzHWK6BzKoh5a7UeMu4x3VChLYuIACzhVlc8qROFh-VZUlWxnES3WwxkPP3mmYj1dU3KSL7In5vSFrU9ivMR4sIa0P3-qc1NU7n4zc4WqUmaruRB1P48bLqC78xYEukuHErwMu2Im4qC/s1600-h/IMG_4405.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 386px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwkzHWK6BzKoh5a7UeMu4x3VChLYuIACzhVlc8qROFh-VZUlWxnES3WwxkPP3mmYj1dU3KSL7In5vSFrU9ivMR4sIa0P3-qc1NU7n4zc4WqUmaruRB1P48bLqC78xYEukuHErwMu2Im4qC/s400/IMG_4405.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340799995624601682" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJzsM56Fy_Ll2qgYOiG2vRK-dhv3EdHwcsPK7CPI8_zmzBYzQs08dQpMrfG86UEQ_kVhUvLqPKIaU6bycM9s5sxZh7bbQz4ObLUXEqxnWb_g0g_p_BXeeWZ17wLlI3oVqv9Jig5sK_zRNT/s1600-h/IMG_4404.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 323px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJzsM56Fy_Ll2qgYOiG2vRK-dhv3EdHwcsPK7CPI8_zmzBYzQs08dQpMrfG86UEQ_kVhUvLqPKIaU6bycM9s5sxZh7bbQz4ObLUXEqxnWb_g0g_p_BXeeWZ17wLlI3oVqv9Jig5sK_zRNT/s400/IMG_4404.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340799896380524562" border="0" /></a></div>Kim, Mia, Annabelle, Zuzu and Misohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00339546749187980804noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492048849878564657.post-9908871298590214772009-05-18T07:27:00.002-04:002009-05-18T07:30:47.543-04:00Three New Videos!First, Zuzu's Tiny Meow -- again!<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K8v1Bia2etA&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K8v1Bia2etA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Second, quickie video of Anna with pencil -- so delicate!<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rsbbyljM0bY&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rsbbyljM0bY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Finally, Zuzu's "attack" on her sister.

Fortunately or unfortunately as the case may be, I have a tendency to get 100% caught up in whatever little endeavor I'm pursuing at any given moment. Every other little endeavor suffers until I finish with, or somewhat tire of, the current project. Sadly, Anna and Zu's blog suffered badly this winter and spring as I made silly little movies for friends, sold off over half of my model horse collection, got very caught up in finding old friends on Facebook and most recently, starting running again.<br /><br />Additionally, I am a morning person. If I am to accomplish anything, it must be done in the AM. As I now must be in the office by 8AM, this leaves little time before work to focus on my little projects and/or exercise. HOPEFULLY, as summer rolls around, I'll have more time to update this bloggy!<br /><br />ZUZU: Harumph! You is big jerk! YOU DO THIS BLOG!<br /><br />Sorry, Zuzu!<br /><br />Anyhow, here's a few pics taken recently:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Anna -- WITH NO ARMS!</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv8srcRxfDhcRdhCQIgrOfuq5e6uMPk5LWcP2JUZin6e0T8U91SyQc4-LLDaqgAlxXHazGtd0rFlL4YWMUGvu9gBO2ckK7h9NeRCyMINIsPWaAmetOM-lzMOlGd-RFQd_ze38LklSZXga5/s1600-h/IMG_4219.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv8srcRxfDhcRdhCQIgrOfuq5e6uMPk5LWcP2JUZin6e0T8U91SyQc4-LLDaqgAlxXHazGtd0rFlL4YWMUGvu9gBO2ckK7h9NeRCyMINIsPWaAmetOM-lzMOlGd-RFQd_ze38LklSZXga5/s400/IMG_4219.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336712774397688770" border="0" /></a>(<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">I </span>took this picture and I still can't figure out where the heck her front legs are!)<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reason Why You MIGHT Not Want A Himalayan If You Don't Like Fur Around </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Your House and On Your Clothes: </span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCm_xbkOHoqZRzQSt83PNj8i_grZjC8lwXuw5ym81YpPm1O-g2XgqLjaRkkEtLXy71O14zm309wefuB3RkTFFetrJrJK_VKnzHG35DtufO0k0ZyeHwIvJyCb-gCR5qGck_ycJSypUIfVe-/s1600-h/IMG_4237.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCm_xbkOHoqZRzQSt83PNj8i_grZjC8lwXuw5ym81YpPm1O-g2XgqLjaRkkEtLXy71O14zm309wefuB3RkTFFetrJrJK_VKnzHG35DtufO0k0ZyeHwIvJyCb-gCR5qGck_ycJSypUIfVe-/s400/IMG_4237.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336713007249420418" border="0" /></a>From one approximately 10 minute grooming session yesterday.

I've not hardly even been commenting at Goma, Praline or Bhu's blogs and I usually follow these fluffies daily!<br />It's only today I finally feel like posting here again -- because, thank God, I <span style="font-style: italic;">think</span> Zuzu is finally healing.<br /><br />To make a longish story kind of short, sometime in December, Zuzu began developing scabby, itchy spots on her tail base and along her back. Anna had some too, but to a much lesser degree. As I have been battling fleas since August, I assumed this was flea allergy dermatitis and to date, that's what the vet still thinks it is. I kept flea combing the girls, but the truth is, I've been a bad mommy here for two reasons:<br /><br />1. At least out here in CT, I am convinced Frontline has stopped working effectively. There is some talk that perhaps our east cost fleas have developed a resistance to it -- whatever the reason, it has never worked well for me. So after about three months treatment of Frontline, I decided to switch to Revolution for the cats, K9 Advantix for the dog. Bad Mommy should have switched products sooner! Finally, I think we've won the war on fleas!<br /><br />2. I am kind of a freak when it comes to flea medication. I hate it. I worry about it WAY more than I should: that maybe it's more harmful to both humans and animals that the manufacturers let on, etc. For this reason, Bad Mommy went well over 6 weeks between applications, hoping the flea combing by itself would do the trick.<br /><br />(You might be thinking, "What's the big deal about a little flea allergy dermatitis? Why would a little something like <span style="font-style: italic;">that</span> make her so upset she didn't even want to blog? Get a grip!"<br /><br />You'll see ... keeping reading.)<br /><br />In early January, I inspected Zuzu's skin again and was horrified: the scabby patches had increased drastically in size and number. Additionally, instead of being "scabby," these patches had turned into lesions: angry-looking red, weepy patches of skin all along her back.<br /><br />Thus began our (expensive!) multiple trips to the vet.<br /><br />First, I FINALLY applied the Revolution to both cats, Advantix to dog. All three animals got Capstar, a pill which is supposed to kill all fleas on them in hour. THEN I vacuumed the whole house from top to bottom AND did load after load of laundry: cat and dog bedding, throw rugs, even my comforter where Zuzu likes to sleep. I was then to give both cats 14-days of oral antibiotics, twice a day.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Giving meds to cats is a nightmare! </span>For the first week, I had to wrap Anna in a towel and quickly squirt the meds into her mouth -- which I HATED doing! Eventually I found I was able to mix it into canned food which made me SO happy! No more feeling like I was traumatizing her! Zuzu, however, will not eat canned food at all -- and after about 4 doses of meds via the ol' wrapped-in-a-towel trick, she got wise and squirmed so horribly -- and looked so UPSET -- I gave up.<br /><br />So back to the vet for Zuzu as I could not get her meds into her -- and her lesions were getting worse.<br /><br />I need to switch the subject here to give some background:<br /><br />I've mentioned Little Girl, my first Himalayan, here a number of times. LG also developed flea allergy dermatitis. As treatment, she received injections of steroids, about six of them, in a period of less then two years. Shortly after her last steroid, she developed diabetes.<br />Steroids are known for their propensity to cause diabetes in cats:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.catinfo.org/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">One</span></a><br /><a href="http://www.remedylife.com/diabetes/articles/content?cid=834&ctid=2"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Two</span></a><br /><a href="http://www.cat-world.com.au/FelineDiabetes.htm"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Three</span></a><br /><br />For starters.<br />Keep Googling "diabetes" "cats" and "steroids" and the links keep coming. With steroids, it's a gamble: some kitties have multiple injections of steroids and do just fine. Others, like Little Girl, develop diabetes.<br /><br />Thing is, during LG's period of injections, NO ONE TOLD ME there were alternatives to steroids! Like a dumb, trusting fool, I let my former veterinary hospital keep poisoning my kitty.<br />She died, as you know, and her death was long and traumatic.<br /><br />ANYWAY, so now, here I am, two years or so later, another Himmie and more $#&$ flea allergy dermatitis -- and the possibly of those horrible, $#&% steroids again. All the memories and details of LG's illness and death came flooding back. I couldn't believe I might be facing this nightmare <span style="font-weight: bold;">again.</span><br /><br />Thank goodness our current vet gets it. He confirmed that, yes, steroids can trigger diabetes in kitties, and supported my decision to NOT treat Zu with them -- except as a very last resort. As I couldn't get the meds into her, the vet gave her an injection of antibiotic which was supposed to last for two weeks. Then sent us home to wait and see.<br /><br />A week and half later, perhaps a <span style="font-style: italic;">hint</span> of improvement but Zuzu still had lesions all along her back and some on her neck. Back to vet. This time he sent me home with <a href="http://www.healthypets.com/virbac-cortisoothe-16oz.html"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Cortisoothe </span></a>shampoo and also did blood work in case Zuzu would need the steroids after all. The test would determine if she showed a preexisting condition that would put her at a greater risk for developing diabetes -- if so, steroids would definitely be avoided. (Note: these tests were <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOT</span> done on Little Girl, nor was I ever told such a test existed. More evidence of negligence from our former vet hospital. My hatred for that hospital is intense and rages as fresh as if Little Girl died yesterday. Best to leave it as that. Zuzu's bloodwork came back fine, by the way.)<br /><br />So my husband and I gave her a bath. Overall, she was pretty good about it.<br /><br />And now, about a week and half later, <span style="font-weight: bold;">SHE IS BETTER!!!</span><br />Not completely -- I may have to give her another tubby with Cortisoothe but her skin is much, much, <span style="font-weight: bold;">much</span> better AND WE DIDN'T HAVE TO USE THOSE CRAPPY STEROIDS!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zuzu</span>:</span> Ah HATE tubby!<br /><br />Kim: But you're <span style="font-style: italic;">better</span>, Zuzu!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">Zuzu:</span> Hate HATE tubby! An why u wrap me in that towel and force ICKY in mah mouths?<br /><br />Kim: Groan. I'm sorry, Zuzu. Please try to forget about that -- I was trying to help you!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);">Zuzu:</span> Harumph! Sorryzuzu NOTHING! Was bad!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;">Anna:</span> I ALL BETTER! An' want more wet foodies, please!<br /><br />Kim: I'm glad you're better, Anna -- but you really don't need more canned food. You're kinda fat, you know.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Anna:</span> I <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOT</span> THAT WHAT YOU SAY, THAT "TOO FAT!" I <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOT</span> THAT!<br /><br />Anyhow, so far, so good!<br />Next flea treatment is due next week and you bet your boots I'm giving it to both cats and the dog right on schedule!<br /><br />Now that I can stop worrying so much, hopefully we'll be back to blogging as we missed everyone!<br /><br />OH!<br />Nearly forgot!<br />As some of you may know, I have, um, a few tattoos. After spending my 30's kind of regretting them as, I've finally learned to say, "I LIKE my tattoos! Who cares what anyone thinks?!"<br /><br />Here's my latest, just got this one about three weeks ago -- <span style="font-weight: bold;">look, Sachie!</span><br />A Japanese Maneki Neko or<b> </b>"lucky kitty!" as I call him. I have a whole bunch of these in my house -- don't know if they bring me luck or prosperity, but I've always loved them!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNObRGF3Lkso513cuGbm2xvnZnt5QW3fkYuN2fmUJ8LjfY-T1B8aF4qb6yQEc4941BcO1bGjypzoRcBwp0cMMw_jWnp7ryg1_EszMYQYXgQtikOKOGzEGDfoLQieHPE6qsjxx3ciSZm3wr/s1600-h/LKTattoo.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNObRGF3Lkso513cuGbm2xvnZnt5QW3fkYuN2fmUJ8LjfY-T1B8aF4qb6yQEc4941BcO1bGjypzoRcBwp0cMMw_jWnp7ryg1_EszMYQYXgQtikOKOGzEGDfoLQieHPE6qsjxx3ciSZm3wr/s400/LKTattoo.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299254095340386626" border="0" /></a>(That's my elbow at the bottom of the pic -- kind of hard to tell where it is from this picture.)
