Hi, I'm Phil and the furry one is Macy the MS (multiple sclerosis) cat. I have added the story of Macy to a page at the very bottom of this blog. Due to the timing of my MS and getting Macy we formed a bond that was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Sadly Macy succumbed to either kidney or heart failure in September 2017. A few months later we adopted a bonded pair of cats. They will never replace Macy but they are very entertaining. Their names are Lacy and Slim

Atlas the comfort.dog!
I was going to post some now things because I went to the neurologist yesterday but this came up about Atlas so I will post that instead. It's too good to ignore.
My wife had a lot of help this morning getting me up. These photos show how much help he is. One of the photos is licking my face. That seems especially helpful. We saw an article on the news last night about a ministry that uses comfort dogs. They're going to Florida which is awesome. There are about 20 people and 20 dogs. All of them were golden retrievers. I think we need to show that labradors can be great comfort dogs too. I don't think Atlas want to be left out because he is a great comfort to me. The 2 new cats are pretty entertaining with their antics. However they are not very affectionate. I'm not able to win them over with scratching their ears and calling them because my arms don't work. The normal things I would've done to win them over I'm not able to win them over. They want a bit younger than Macy was so maybe after they age they will get more cuddly. Right now they don't spend much time with me. Slim is coming out of his shell though and now does things to Lacy likes she did to him earlier. He pushed her off the windowsill one day and it was good to see him stand up for himself. I will post later about my neurologist visit. I have an upcoming infusion and that is one of the reasons I went to see him. I'll post more later, thanks for reading!
