Well, the mouth guard was a fail

Well, that was a really unpleasant experience with the tooth guard.  It was one of those, boil, then stick in your mouth, deals. 

Well, the mold wouldn't soften even though I microwaved the water to a boil, did the whole molding process, said screw it, got out my electric kettle. 

I decided if I was boiling water now would be a great time to put some in a cup of noodles.  Since I was wanting some anyway.  I filled the kettle to accommodate both and when it came to a "rolling boil" poured it over the mouth guard and also some into my noodles.  I let it sit as directed - AGAIN, and stuck it in my mouth again and kept gagging and drooling and just a really unpleasant experience almost up there with the root canal (by the way, my jaw is feeling better). 

And it didn't work the second time, either.  Now I was pissed.  I threw it all away, I was looking at some other guards that have really good reviews.  You get a set of them for $20.  You can use each guard for up to a month.  That seemed reasonable.  They ought to last forever if they work and everyone loved them, specifically mentioned no gagging in a couple of reviews, even better now that I had experienced "the standard" mouth guard. 

So those are ordered.  I will let you know how these work. 

Ron fell asleep and thank God for it.  He was just really difficult today. 

I did get everything done, work, got the grocery delivery, put it away, helped Ron repeatedly, cleaned all the boxes.  Oh, I forgot, I got the Iams chicken for the cats, the dry food in the orange bag. 

Since Momma cat & company are a little "digestive", I just mixed in a little with their dry, and they gobbled it up.   So it looks like a good transition.  I will slowly phase them to probably Just Iams Chicken and leave it at that. 

I just hear so much about the fishy cat foods and Struvite, and EVERY FLUTD cat I had was eating something "fishy" when they had their attacks. 

I need to make a deposit and then I will buy Biscuit another big bag of his formula.  I like to keep 2 bags, the one I am using and the spare.  I just used up one bag and just have the spare, which will of course become the one I am using.  I have most of a 10 pound canister filled with his food, so I am OK for a couple of days on that.  I just worry there may be a problem and I couldn't get ahold of it for a while, and this is literally life and death for Biscuit. 

He still adores it, just loves eating it.  And it is so good for him so I am delighted to feed it.  I might get him some wet but I am still deciding on that, he doesn't really eat much of it.
