Thanks! Stormy's being hospitalized again, for more enemas, fluids, and another attempt at manual removal. If this fails, vet says surgery is our only other option, and it's dangerous. We'll also probably have to rebreak his hip.

Just so ya know I said the "f "word, as I read about the possible rebreaking of the hip. Poor little guy just does not seem to be catching any ummm breaks. Sorry I could not resist that, even though it's not funny if he does have to have it done.

You gotta joke. Trust me, as a veteran vet tech, you have to otherwise you will be too stressed and emotional.

Grabs a bowl full of strawberries and ice cream on the way past and then takes a plate to put the cake on. Did I say cake?? What I mean is after I sneak 2/3 of the cake part into Yvonne's bowl ('cuz under all that ice cream she will never see all the cake she has). That's if it's buttercream frosting.

I have yet to find any type of alcohol i like. I have had some microbrews before but they still have that nasty after taste that I just cant handle.

I hope you said that rather sheepishly, because your not going to pull the wool over my eyes, when it comes to beer not being Ewwww!!

* face turns green and the stomach rolls*

 

[Thalatte]

yeah they werent the best idea but I was experimenting with baking at the time. I ended up losing quite a few friends during that time...Some people just dont take well to being guinea pigs.

...Some people just dont take well to being guinea pigs.

Or maybe they didn't enjoy the stomach pumping or the cost of antidiarrhea
meds.... jk

Today was the chosen day to dig up the Russian herd and move them into their winter quarters. Needless to say, they were none to impressed. If we didn't get all the rain we do, I'd just leave them out. Their outdoor enclosure is large enough and overgrown enough, that after finding the first 5 in burrows I knew about, I spent another 45 mins. finding the last 3. They had dug themselves some very impressive holes! Shucks, I was proud of them a little.

I loaded them up in my carry tub, and as I took a picture of them all thick with dirt and crud, my phone died. They're all cleaned up now and settling into the new/old digs.

 

[RosieRedfoot]

I got some vanilla ice cream to go with the cake.

We had Carrabba's for dinner and I had their shrimp fettucine. I'm sooo full now.

Anyone want to join in for ice cream and cake? Plenty to share!

Only if there are strawberries marinated in beer. Seriously...that sounds tasty to me.

 

[RosieRedfoot]

I lack strawberries but don't even know if we'll get to cake/ice cream for how full we still are. It's like a carb brick just sitting there!

 

[Jacqui]

The shrimp fettucine you had sounded good to me.

It was a nice day here with temps in the mid 60's. I did manage to find time to finish planting in the holes my son dug for me a week ago. I had the "help" of Mr Tubbs. He's a young fluffy tux kitten who has gone from wild to underfoot. I would reach to slide a handful of dirt around a plant and he would be part of each pile. I tried telling him I would just bury him alive along side of the roses I was planting, so he could be the fertilizer. For some reason, he didn't believe me and kept helping. Tomorrow I need to get busy and dig the holes and plant the smaller plants I still have left to do.

I had to do some work on one of our gutters today and all was going well, then Rodeo, one of our cats decided he needed to help me and climbed the ladder. He got offended when I told him I didn't need his help.

Teach him to fetch beer.

His feet have a hard time reaching the gas pedal.

This morning before I took the two bigger dogs for their walk, I went and refilled the far catfood feeder. It's on the edge of the backyard tortoise zone and so you go past trees and things. When I stepped back into the house and started to reach for their leashes, I realized I had a maple leaf in my hair. I tried to have it float to the ground and it ended up landing on the big lab mix who was watching it. You should have heard him cry and act like I had thrown something hard or heavy on him. I mean, a leaf, really?

I always worry when a cat climbs up the ladder with me, that I will accidently step on them, then while trying to fix that problem, I will lose my balance and fall off the ladder.
