I told Milo I am going to start calling him Sneezy since that seems to be the order of the day. Bless his little heart, he sneezes like crazy and it is not just a sneeze, it is a dozen or so in a row and really strong ones. The vets say this is a typical complaint for little pushed-in-nose Himalayans. Unless he gets badly congested along with it, I try to ignore it but I really don't want him sneezing all over my bedroom while I am asleep. We went through a round of antibiotics a month or so back and it helped for a while but I can't keep him on medicine for life. The vets also say to try and bear with it as they can't just keep prescribing antibiotics every time it happens. He might get really sick someday and need them to help out with something worse. So, why am I up at this hour? I believe Milo had a sneezing round at the same time someone ran a car motor outside and I hoped the newspaper would be here. Instead I wound up feeding Gray (and Milo got offered) and coming to the pc to see if there was any email last night. I hope the sneezing is over for a while. I am going back to bed. Milo seems more interested in aggravating Gray right now than he is in me. I am getting a few breaks from his being glued to my body here lately. I needed a break but of course, I liked his attention also, just as he likes mine.

Milo completely missed the shower today because he was asleep in the living room and must not have heard the water running. After, I went in and said, "You missed out, bud. Are you going to be all right about that?" He got up, raced to the bathroom and talked to me about it the best he could. I turned on the water and let him observe the nozzle for about 2 minutes and turned the water off. That will have to replace the shower fix for the day. At least he got to see the water come out which is his favorite part.

I also brushed on him some which is NOT his favorite thing - so he bit at me after a while and I quit brushing. I guess a man's got to do what a man has got to do. We put a slideshow of Milo on this blog today and I hope to do some more writing about his history as time goes by but the slideshow took up such a chunk of the day that I will wait for another time to do that.
