My Cute Little Zipper-Necked Girl

(Photo is before the procedure. She is too loopy to have her picture taken right now.)

It has been a rough couple of weeks for the older kids in the house. First it was Callebaut with his tummy and low thyroid and then on Wednesday night I discovered a lump in Ginger's skin on the right side of her neck. Today she had a little "procedure" that removed it and sent it off for a biopsy.

My beautiful little girl (and one of my several faithful sleeping companions) now looks like a feline Frankenstein with her very own little Zipper-Neck. She is also doing a really amazing imitation of a very drunk girl as she slides and slithers to the floor and slinks around corners in her drugged and hazy state. It would almost be amusing if it weren't so disturbing. Does that make sense?

In my heart of hearts I know she is fine and they will not discover a "problem" with the lump. In the meantime, I will let her sleep it off in her den under the bed and will indulge her with canned (instead of the standard dry) cat food...and will let her have first choice on which side she sleeps. Sorry Chloe, the older girl gets first choice!
