After the Cat's trip to the Vet

Recently, our cat, Napoleon, had been acting weird. He started to pee everywhere. We all thought it was because he wanted to mate. Then, on Friday, he started to puke. Moreover, he started to hiss at our other cat, Caesar. Every time we wanted to pet him, he meows angrily. He started to hide in weird places, like in my shelf. On Saturday, I really thought he might be sick. So I suggested taking him to the vet. My mom and I took him on our motorcycle and headed down there. Luckily we took him to the vet, otherwise if we waited one more day, he would have died. The vet said he had bladder stones and he was in pain. We left him there at the vet for about 3 hours and took him back. Here he is.

He's wearing that gigantic collar.

Lying still.

Here's a video of Napoleon.

I'm really glad we took him to the vet. Knowing we saved his life really makes me happy.

The Basketball Stand

On Wednesday, March 10, our basketball stand came! And now, my brother and I are constructing it. It's harder then we thought. And the pieces are really heavy. Here are the pictures. We were constructing it on Thursday, on we're still not done yet.

The board, or stand.

The box full of the stuff.

The board to put the big, heavy basket there.

Put it together.

Here's everything.

Just my bro being crazy.

Reading the instructions.

A bee I took while resting.

Bam! This is what we have so far.

And we finished it on March 14! Check out the pictures.

The basket.

We had to put water in there, so the stand wouldn't be able to fall down.

Then, my dad, my brother, and I pushed it to the back yard. It was really tough.

My brother, resting.

And my mom telling us what to do.

And there's the basketball stand!

This took three days to complete. It was not easy. The stand is at least 10 feet tall! Wow! Much taller then I thought. Of course, now I can look at the bright side - now we can play basketball together with my brother! Finished this on March 14, 2010.
