I continue to be very worried about my human. Her human box and its associated room (called the bathroom, this room is also where I go to use the cat box) is in a state of utter disrepair, and the handyman fixing said room had to take off work because he got sick today. Partially due to this state... Sign in to see full entry.

7/18/2006 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
Although it has cooled off somewhat here in the Chicago area, this cool-off is said to be only temporary. The weather people are predicting that it will get very hot again tomorrow and Thursday, then cool down for a longer period of time starting on Friday. I implore readers to continue to be very...

7/17/2006 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
My human and I got to talking about the 1995 Chicago heat wave this morning. It turns out that there were over 700 deaths during that heat wave, not over 500, as I stated the other day. The point is still the same, though; extreme heat is dangerous for humans as well as animals. The news woman on... Sign in to see full entry.

7/16/2006 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
One of my feline friends on Cyberkat suggested that a group of us go down to bring that poor horse Barbaro what the cat called "horsee treats" such as apples, carrots and the like. I wrote back and said I thought this was a great idea - that Barbaro would probably find such treats delicious, and... Sign in to see full entry.

My human was successful in changing the date of my appointment with the evil vet lady. Those of you who are loyal readers will remember that yesterday, I mentioned my male human's concern about taking me out in the brutal heat which is about to descend on the Chicago area during the next few days....

7/14/2006 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
I had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow with my evil vet lady. However, it is due to be very hot outside (the Chicago area is due for a nasty heat wave over the next few days), and my male human is very worried that something untoward might happen to me and my idiot brother Michael while in a...

Friends, I have some sad news for you. Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner, has developed laminitis in his injured leg. It doesn't look like he'll survive; his doctor says that the laminitis is very severe. I worry about Barbaro; I think I'll take the Tunnel system to visit him this afternoon. I hope...

7/12/2006 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
My human's physical health is my primary concern today. Although she is much better emotionally than she was the other day - when the phone company cut off her service due to nonpayment - she is coughing much more than she did earlier in the week. In addition, due to circumstances listed in her blog... Sign in to see full entry.

7/11/2006 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
My human is mildly depressed today. I tried to help her overcome her anxiety (see yesterday's entry to find out why she was anxious) by snuggling with her overnight, staying at what my human lovingly calls "the nurse's station." (Allow me to explain why my human uses that term to refer to this... Sign in to see full entry.

7/10/2006 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
I am very worried about my human. Apparently, an implement she owns, called a telephone, is malfunctioning, and my human suspects that this malfunction is caused directly by her inability to pay the phone bill. She is in a very dire state emotionally right now. I just wish I could do more than write... Sign in to see full entry.
