Crazy day....geez I hate Saturdays where you have so much to do the day is gone before you even know it is here. Took a lot of the pets here into the vet to the tune of $1300+. The rest of the crew are not due until April, so we will do it all again then. Mostly good news
Renner Sleeps In Back Of Car.
on the ones that went in, but we have to wait for the lab tests to come back, then see if there is anything we need to do from there.
Then the Fridge in our camper was recalled, we just had the camper in last week getting a winter thing done on it, and the stairs fixed (they quit working right the end of last fall) last week, would have been nice to get the recall letter BEFORE we did that, but no it came right after we got it home from the shop. So took it back again yesterday. Hopefully they can fix it up in good time so we can go visit my Mom and Dad with the doggies when the time comes.
I also had to hunt some new kitty food for Monty. He and Vinni are the old guys of the crew here, will be 20 in April, and Monty is supposed to be eating NF, but can't tolerate it for some reason. So I started giving him regular kibble again. That helped a lot, but was too high in protein. So I was trying to find a commercial brand that matched the vet kibble, that he would be able to eat. I came up with a few choices, but couldn't find any of the brands at my normal haunts. So I got a kibble that was close for now, however...he snubs it. I guess less protein means less appeal, which makes sense. Sigh - well....what do you do then...something I have faced with many a pet. We usually just work until we find some sort of mid-ground that works for all, it is just finding it that can be tough some times. After finding the kitty food we moved on to Fresh and Natural.
F & N is an organic food store that carries a lot of Gluten Free items as I am a Celiac and so have to be on a special diet myself. Usually I shop at a normal store for most things, but some things you can't find at a normal store, so I have to head out to either
F & N or a Whole Foods. I like the organic stores better anyway, but they are pretty expensive. After going back home to feed the dogs and let them out, (where we’d be in and out a few times already) we stopped for dinner. When dinner was finished we went to the airport to pick up the kids who were coming back from San Diego. Brought them back to their house, then came back to our house to pick up Ruby, my GrandGreyhound, to take her back home. Everyone was very glad to see each other. :) Blew had graced us twice that day with a peed on floor...frustrating, but he is an old man and had a rough day (does not like going to the vet), so we felt pretty bad for him. Having such a tough day then having your owners gone off and on so much is not easy for an old guy. By the time we got home and settled in again it was about bed time. Being busy is good of course, but sometimes I feel like I should just have a revolving door installed at my house.
Wow! But you got through it all,,,, just think you wouldn't have just relaxed even if you could have - would you?
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about fussy cats - Max was allowed anything when he first got out of the hospital - now of course I am trying to put him back onto the stuff that won't make him fatter and what do I get? Dirty looks! You can't win!
Yes, no time for relaxing, and then again it would be boring wouldn't it. :)
ReplyDeleteHow is Max doing? Sounds like he is doing okay if you are concerned about making him fatter, that's a good thing to hear! :) Scritches to Max.
He's healing quite well now - still got a little bald belly with a long scar though.
ReplyDeleteHe's certainly remembered how to eat now thought the hole in his neck where the feeding tube went still hasn't quite healed!
But things are looking up!!! I will pass your scritches on to them both when I get home - Thank you!!!
$1300! OUCH! I feel for you, and I know the feeling, too.
ReplyDeleteFussy animals? Yep, know that one too!
Very sweet picture! :)
Oh Jay, I know you do! Photo is Renner, he can sleep any where, any time. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt Kate and an early to bed as well for all.
