Meet Ellie

Ellie is my kitty cat. She will be 14 in March. Ellie is full of personality. She likes to lick the walls, it is especially fun at 3:00 in the morning when I am trying to sleep.

A few years ago she was diagnosed with Diabetes. My hubby and I have been giving her a daily shot of insulin every morning. She doesn't need much, just a unit a day, but it definitely helps a lot. This diagnosis changed the way we travel and go on vacations. She is very, very picky about who can be around her. So we just bring her along on vacation. She just really hates the car ride, but she is really good once we check into the hotel.

Last week, she was diagnosed with Hyper Thyroid. I guess we can treat this with pills, which is fine with me because she is a trooper when taking pills.

She still plays quite a bit and can be a real pain when she wants. It is really hard to believe that she is almost 14 years old.
