Hopefully the meds and special food will help. My vet recommended Glucosamine/Chondroiton for my aging kitty's stiffness issues. Might be worth talking to your vet about that. It has helped Mehitabel a lot. She also has developed kidney issues, but as long as she is eating and drinking (and doing the "necessaries" in the appropriate location, I have opted not to go the medication route. At 20, I don't want to stress her out and she has never been a willing pill taker, and cats are far less likely to fall for the pill in the treat treick. Believe me I've tried.<br /><br />Congrats to Janet on the new position at the new agency. Talk about tuning over a New Leaf. Yuck, yuck.<br /><br />I've been crazy busy working on a couple of art shows these last two weeks so have not been around the reef lately.<br />Loving the dog picks, but Mehitabel thinks there should be more cats.<br />Just sayin'.Panda in Chiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160375490647791433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-55982728774396512742016-08-09T10:22:31.166-04:002016-08-09T10:22:31.166-04:00Ginger is a beautiful old gal.

New Leaf are one lucky agency. What does your regal title (which befits a Queen) mean? And like others have asked, do you take your clients with you? Glad it says you are still agenting though. I wouldn't feel I'd queried properly if I didn't get to sub to you. <br /><br />As an aside, obviously this is very new news because our Queen still has FinePrint on her website.AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-31197035804203453412016-08-08T19:27:22.235-04:002016-08-08T19:27:22.235-04:00Dena: enjoy all the time you can with Ginger.

She also knows where her special talents are needed.<br /><br /><br />There is a lot to like at New Leaf. It seems to cover all of the bases that will keep an author with in house care and feeding.<br /><br />I hope the new job title will not make us all orphans. Of all I have done to prepare myself to be a writer nothing holds a candle to what I have learned from you My Queen.

My Riley is getting up there in age, and every time I look at him, I have to swallow down the heaviness in my heart knowing the inevitable is only a few short years away. But that's when I focus on the joy he brings me and remain grateful for every minute. Hug Ginger from every one of us tonight.<br /><br />Also, congratulations to Janet! New Leaf is an extraordinary agency--when I first started looking into traditional publishing, there were a number of agents I followed from there who were warm and generous with their advice.

I'll read more detailed later. Ginger is mine. She's been having some trouble walking the past few months which is why I had her tested. I don't know if the walking and the kidneys are related or not. She does seem a bit better with walking now that she has kidney food and medication. She's a sweetheart.
