Last night I tuned in for the new season of Celebrity Rehab starring my favorite Addiction MD, Dr. Drew Pinsky. Unfortunately, I passed out after 15 minutes… being in bed with mom is so warm and cozy, there’s nothing better. Relaxation and comfort overwhelmed me and I was a gonner. Luckily, mom recorded the show, and we’ll watch it in its entirety tonight. I must say I am amazed by the condition of some of those celebs. Steven Adler?!!!…. Mom used to want him in a major way when he was the drummer for Guns & Roses. I’ve seen his picture from the CD jacket – Whoa! He looks like something definitely chewed him up and spat him out… repeatedly! And forget drugs – I’m convinced after seeing the first 15 minutes that Gary Busey must have endured more than one brain trauma and/or head injury in his lifetime. That, my friends, is not the sole work of drugs!!!! Tawny Kittaen most definitely had work done on her. Too bad one of her procedures wasn’t a lobotomy. Anyway, tonight should be most entertaining.
Speaking of rehab… even in the midst of this new season’s premiere and long list of troubled patients, Dr. Drew did take the time to phone me personally to discuss Lenny and Squiggy’s progress. While both made it through detox, Lenny is withdrawn and silent in therapy. He is reluctant to share with other patients in group therapy, and even with Dr. Drew during their one-on-one session he remains guarded. It’s still early in the process, so Dr. Drew is being optimistic… sure that in time he will open up. Squiggy, on the other hand, takes on a strong participative role in both group and individual therapy. Dr. Drew is amazed by his ability to connect with the other patients and is very supportive of them. His ability to empathize and still remain objective and thoughtful makes him very popular among other patients. Dr. Drew deems him to be one of those special few who are natural-born confidants… the one to whom others innately are drawn and open up.
Well, time for a snack. I think I’ll munch on some of those roasted pumpkin seeds….

Our Mama taped Celebrity Rehab for us as well. We had hoped to see Lenny & Squiggy on the show but I guess they like to keep their privacy - and we can't blame them for that. I am glad to hear that they have completed the detox phase, I can only imagine how difficult that must be. You are such a good friend to get them the help that they need. I hope they appreciate your friendship. I know that Tobey & I do.
You know, it goes against most Canines to befriend a Feline but getting to know you has really been a wonderful surprise. In fact, you have changed our minds about Felines in general - and you should be very proud of that! You are a real friend AND a cat. Who would have thought it? Next thing you know we'll be palling around with squirrels. NAH! Rather eat them!!
