A Visit to the Vet

Well, it finally got to that point...

Pradoo (pronounced "prado", originally "Prada", remember?), is now officially Pradxx (also pronounced "prado")! What that means is that he won't be bothering his mother in the future, since they both live with us along with our two remaining cats from France, David (8) and Delta (10). She is an older lady - the vet said about 10 years old - and Prado is probably her last baby. Prado is really a very sweet young guy. He goes with us, Blondie and me, every morning for our 1'600m (1 mile) walk. When the weather is rotten - yes, that happens even in bella Italia - he's not unhappy to be picked up and carried, at least part of the way. He also baits our only neighbor's little dog: he waits until she comes running out, and then makes an arch with his back and hisses and the dog turns tail and runs back to the protection of her house!

I guess that's all for now, so

Ciao!
