Kitty update - Lily is getting more curious. Early this morning she was active so I decided to let her out of the library. She disappeared for a time. Stella knew the cat was out and about and was getting agitated (I have been making her sleep in her crate at night). I got her out and she went into the room, looking all over for Lily with no success. Back into the kitchen and she alerted to an under counter cabinet where I keep casserole dishes and baking trays. Sure enough, kitty had found a quiet dark place to hunker down. I made Stella lie down and be restrained (she was on the short leash, but not prong collar). I then put Stella outdoors. I decided what I have to do is get Stella calmed down and not so agitated about a cat in the house. She needs to be close to the cat so she can see her, but not in a position to hurt her. So. . . I extracted kitty from the cabinet (I'm not all that fond of cat hair in my baking dishes anyway) and put her in a good sized dog crate that I placed next to Stella's crate. Then Stella went into her crate. They are about 3' apart and able to see and smell each other. I am hoping that several hours of this each day might help to get the dog used to the idea that the cat is not something to be harassed. We shall see.

Lynne update -- as some here know, last week we went in for Lynne's regular chemo treatment and the doc was concerned about her lungs. She was coughing quite a bit and had a congested sound in her lungs. Instead of chemo, he had the nurses hang a bag of zithromax antibiotic that she got IV. She has been on a course of pills since the treatment. At this point, not sure the antibiotic is working. Lynne has been in bed all weekend, still has a cough and is spiking a fever periodically. This morning it was 101. On Friday it got as high as 103. This is all very worrisome.
