Bullet Points – somebunny shoot me!
- The cat seems to be on last legs, again. She is pissing in odd places (the back of my CHAIR! my gorgeous CHAIR! Thanks goodness for scotch guard, and quick thinking on the pup’s part to get her to the floor..) throwing up a bit, but is still drinking water, and eating. She’s old – 17 years old. I don’t think she’ll last much longer, but she doesn’t seem to be in real pain, just… slowing way down. So we’ll love on her and cuddle when she wants untl she lets go. Oy.
- Let the dog in last night – and stare at the side of her neck, and then call her over to examine said neck, and discover a lump the size of a golf ball, hardish but not painful. Up early to call the vet this morning, recommends heat packs until it softens, as it’s likely an absess due to eating grass (or any other number of stupid shit that canine vaccume cleaner ingests) and they can’t do anything until it softens, at which point they can drain it. Oh. Yummy. Have to watch for it to get bigger/get painful/get soft/ or disappear. Long as she’s eating/drinking, should be fine. Again. Oy.
- The Girl whimpers in her sleep, then cries, and then calls for mom. Complains of pain in her right side. No fever, not low enough to be apendicitis I don’t think. Have to watch for fever, sharp spikes in localized pain, etc. Probably is just a cramp from sleeping funny, but the way my luck is going….
- Thankfully, the pup is her normal boisterous self, and the boy is still sleeping. (Yes, it’s 11:30am, it’s summertime! and he’ll be up soon to babysit as I’ve got meetings today. heh.)
- My sinuses are all stuffed again. Dammit.
- So. How’s YOUR morning shaping up?
(I haven’t forgotten the last two picture item requests – will get them up soonish.)
Old wives tales…
Thank goodness we don’t REALLY believe that “a cat will steal a baby’s soul”, hm?

Heard many times in the past years because I am a mean mom: Kids: MOOOOOOOOOM! Me: Not here. I ran away. Cuz of ya’ll. Sorry. Leave a message. Heard from the restroom just moments ago: The Pup: MOM!! The Girl: She ain’t here. ran away. cuz of ya’ll. Sorry. Leave a message. — I am […]
note to self:
When the dog is whining to go out (at 6am) and you choose to ignore her, and then you hear a thumping noise from the boy’s bedroom – do not be surprised when the dog is found, happy as you please, OUTSIDE, laying down all primly and surpremely peased with herself, by the CAR, having […]
So much…
….for not taking many pictures. *L* I spent all day taking many, many pictures! Some highlights! First, it was off to take some ‘ruins’ photos for the Photohunt – or as close to it as we could manage here where there aren’t exactly any Stonehenge’s hangin’ bout. So it was off to old town, where […]
