Big News!! New Computers!
Hey everybody! Big excitement here this weekend. This man came in and started crawling all over the hospital on a ladder, putting cables in the ceiling. I was most intrigued, and followed him about. I even helped hold the ladder steady for him with my enormous Maine paws (not being a cat, I worried about his sense of balance). Since he was new to the clinic and unaware of the t/d ban, I tried to get him to abandon all the cable business and help me look for food, but he wouldn’t.
It turns out he was helping to prepare for a new computer system we’re going to get soon. How exciting! However, I was a little disturbed to find they weren’t planning to install a computer in my room. How am I supposed to update my blog regularly?? Not to worry, I slipped the guy some kibble in exchange for a secret cable line to my room.

Pet Names!
mood: I'm so lucky to be me!
Hi Everybody! Sawyer here, trouble not far behind, ha! I’ve been keeping everyone on their toes here trying to sneak food that’s not on my special diet. I think my full name is No, Sawyer, bad cat! Speaking of names, I found a list in Dr. D’s veterinary journal about the most common dog and cat names. I thought it was pretty interesting (i.e. it kept me out of trouble for about 30 seconds) so I’m sharing it with y’all:
Dog Cat
1. Max Max
2. Bailey Tigger
3. Buddy Smokey
4. Molly Tiger
5. Maggie Chloe
6. Lucy Shadow
7. Daisy Lucy
8. Bella Angel
9. Jake Oliver
10. Rocky Simba
Living at a veterinary hospital, I can confirm that these names are indeed popular. I wonder if these pets have longer formal names too like me! Gotta go, I see the food closet has been left unattended. Victory is mine!

Catnip!
mood: Woo hoo zee!
Hi everybody! Sawyer here with some exciting news for you cats. There’s some primo catnip available here. Well, to be more specific the catnip is enclosed in a fabric toy, but it smells AWESOME! They tried to hide them from me, but as you can see I found them. I managed to bite through the plastic bag they were in before I was thwarted. However, while I am being denied you don’t need to be. Tell your people to stop by and buy a catnip toy for you. The money goes to help animals in ARF.
That’s all for now, I’ve got to go chase my tail for a while.

No T/D!??
mood: Not so very happy!
Hi guys! Sawyer here, with a few complaints. Now generally speaking I’m a pretty easy-going fellow but there are some changes going on here that have me rather disturbed. In fact, I was so upset that I actually attended the staff meeting. I showed up early to get a good seat. But to no avail. Oh, sorry I got ahead of myself. Let me back up and explain.
In my patrols about the clinic I’ve found the most delectable morsels which are curiously contained in bowls with lids. So strange, these humans. Thanks to my man-paws, though, these lids are but a mere nuisance. Or perhaps I should say Maine-paws. Ha, ha!! I crack myself up sometimes. Now where was I? Oh yes, the delectable morsels. So as you can see from the photo, I can overcome these obstacles between me and the treats. Oh, how I love these treats. The doctors have asked me to make the following statement: the treats of which I speak are Hill’s t/d diet. Although it’s made as a dental diet, the doctors recommend them as treats because they have a lot of fat. When we cats (and dogs) bite into the treats, they scrape the plaque off our teeth. There, I said it. I tried to tell them that y’all aren’t interested in that stuff, but they’re all into the education. Please!
Where was I? Ah, yes. So now that I’ve got my treat retrieval down to a science, they up and take them away! I don’t get it. So I went to the staff meeting to see what was up. I heard my name being tossed about, and something about food allergy, diet (DIET???) trial, and NO t/d!! I’m definitely looking into this some more, but if any of you cool cats (or dogs) out there know anything about this, give me a holler. You might have to shout loud, because I’m doing a lot of hollering of my own these days.

Hey everybody!
Hey everybody! Sawyer here, glad to know you. Please forgive any typos, I have gigantic Maine Coon paws and so typing is a little hard. In fact, I think I’ll have my staff type for me as I dictate. Yeah, that’s a great idea, frees me up to wreak havoc.
So a little about me. I’ve been here at Hill Creek for about ten months now. As I mentioned, I’m a Maine Coon cat. I have a polyp in my ear. It’s not hurting me, but it makes me prone to ear infections. The doctors here are going to fix me up. We Maine Coons are a hearty bunch; once I’m all grown I’ll weigh about 25 pounds. This is good, because I’ve got some scores to settle with the staff here once I get a little weight on. Particularly that one doctor, I think Tugger called her the Lap. Speaking of Tugger, I read through his blog one night when I was bored. He sounds like a good guy, wish I could’ve known him. I think he’d have made an awesome wing-man on my adventures. Everyone here says I’ve got big paws to fill now that Tugger’s gone. That confuses me, as I have enormous paws. Seriously, have you seen the paws on a Siamese? I wonder if they bind their paws when they’re kittens…
So where was I? Ah yes, settling scores. I’d rather not share details, but they know who they are. Necessary vaccines my paw-they just like shooting us up with harpoons! And if they don’t want me to sample the treats, why do they leave them out for me? And if they don’t want me to kill the snakes (I believe you humans call them leashes) why do they hang them on hooks so invitingly? They set me up, I tell you.
Gotta go for now, I see an unguarded stethoscope (they’re so tasty, especially the parts that go in the doctors’ ears).

As many of you know in the fall of 2005 we lost our beloved Tugger.
Although there is no way to replace the immortal Tugger a very special
feline was sent to us as a balm for our loss. Sawyer is a 1 year old red
classic tabby Maine Coon Cat. He has turned out to be quite an amazing
and mischievous character! We're not sure if Tugger would approve,
but we're pretty sure he would at least be amused by the antics of Sawyer.
Much like the character Tom Sawyer, our new clinic cat spends his days in
a never-ending string of adventures and misadventures which keep the staff
happy and busy all at once. I suspect that if we can slow him down enough
to visit the computer that he might, just might, start up his own blog.
But his is likely to be full of vim and vinegar and a touch of rock and roll.
He's just that kind of a guy!
