Bunny has previously reported on Kirby's en fuego yeast infection and the torture we have had to inflict on him in order to treat it. Every application of medicine between his furry toes was followed by extra love and the really good wheat-free no-itch apple cookies. Yarn Bandit figured this out very quickly and started to recognize the tube of ointment even before Kirby did. Did Kirby's squirming and squealing bother the Yarn Bandit? No, because if Kirby gets a treat, then Tiki also gets a treat. He sees it as an unalienable right and, well, the best way to keep him out of our hair while we tend to Mr. Itchy Feets is to toss cookie bits across the room so Yarn Bandit has to go get them, thereby creating the critical distance and personal space we need to carry on our terrible business with Kirbs. In fact, if you asked him, he'd probably tell you that he likes it when we torture Kirby because he always gets a treat.
Unfortunately for the Yarn Bandit, Kirby had his final yeast follow up appointment with Doctor Ginger and she declared him yeast-free, completely healed, and no longer in need of any torturous applications of medication between the toes. So no more guaranteed twice-daily really good wheat-free no-itch apple cookies as rewards. No torture for Kirby means a reduction in treats for Tiki.
Speaking of Kirby, now that his suture line has healed and his hair is growing back and his feet are no longer en feugo, he is very much back to his wonderful little self. We've been taking him to the vet for one reason or another about once a week for the last seven weeks or so and no one is in any particular hurry to start going again for radiation treatments. Since there is no urgent medical reason to be in a big hurry, we are going to take a vet break for a while (assuming The Boys let us by not getting into any new trouble) and start the fun cancer stuff again in a little while.

Life is so unfair! Its the holidays and you cut off the supply of treats. Are you nuts? Are you cookies? Are you greenies? Some fo still love you yarn bandit.
He gets his share of treats regardless, so no worries there. In YB land, life is as fair as it could get without a treat IV connected to him at all times.
In other new re your poll, Torries is your BFF, not mine. Also, I could spend forever trying to fix Redskins and would not succeed; some things are simply hopeless and beyond the ken of humans, although perhaps the brigade of monkeys (after spontaneously reproducing Shakespeare) could come up with a better offensive playbook than the current one.
