When it rains it pours...

It's off to the vet tomorrow.  Morris has been hanging out under the car a lot.  I thought it was just because it's hot.  Nope.  He has an ear chock-a-block full of infection.  It really smells bad. 

I cleaned it as much as possible and gave him some amoxicillin.  It will take the vet to clean his ear out.  Hopefully, he can do everything for $30, because that's about as much as I can afford.

As for Squeeky, it looks like her abscess has gone down a bit.  *whew* 

Bindi, on the other hand, has a small cyst on his side, so he'll be the next to go in. 

B"H, at least Spotty's ear healed over, so that's one cat well who was sick.  LOL

Back to watching Robin Hood!  :]

Cat update

Dang!  Didn't realise I haven't posted since last Thursday.  I've been really wrapped up with Squeeky and Spotty.  Spotty had a set back.  His ear took a turn and had a big hole in it.  I used plantain to try and heal it up.  It's doing pretty good now.  He'll still be on antibiotics for another couple days.

Squeeky is Squeeky.  Her abscess isn't worse, but it's not really improving either.  Yesterday, I started applying plantain poultices.  Then today, I started making plantain washes.  You cook up the plantain leaves and use the liquid while hot (but not too hot) to apply presses on the abscess for 10 - 15 minutes.  I'll be doing that 3/day. 

I'll call the vet again Thursday if the abscess hasn't shown any signs of improvement.

The rest of my time has been working on mom's pc.  I think I've logged in over 8 hours so far trying to bring it up to par.

Welp, I'm off to finish my lunch!  Make it a great day!  :]

Good nearly afternoon! :]

The evil children woke me up at 4:20 this morning. I finally surrender at 5:10, crawled outa bed, broke up one fight - it took a broom to separate them, fed the cats and nearly fell asleep. :]

I'm still trying to stay awake. Anyway, I think the best way for me to wake up is go on the hill with the boys and Squeek, so I'm outa here. An adventure waits! :]

PS: I put a new article up about Father's Day gifts at the Wrinkle. I learned some really interesting stuff while researching the article. Did you know more collect phone calls are made on Father's Day than any other time of year! LOL

Attack of the pit bull and ugly dog.

Everyone at this point knows how much I hate evil nephews dogs... so, I've been doing what I call "protest" prayers, i.e., praying something happens to stop all the crap. Why? Because...

1. Evil dogs attacked mom's dachshund and no one cared.
2. Evil dogs attack my cats and no one cares.
3. Evil dogs attacked me and no one cares.

But tonight they attacked mom's horse - now mom cares. They chased Candy for close on 20 minutes. It was horrible. Mom's horse has arthritis and is 18 years old, and she had to take on a large mutt and a pit bull.

I won't go into full details but lets just say the stress took out my legs and I watched in horror as they went for her throat and gut. I can't even begin to describe what it was like to hear her whiny from the top of the hill, hear the dogs growling and barking and not be able to see what was happening to her.

B-H, she's alive and in better shape than the dogs. They have busted mouths and I'm sure bruised ribs from getting kicked again and again,

Mom finally put down the law - the dogs are to be chained and never allowed down here again. B"H, my cats are safe from the evil dogs - finally.

I hate it that the horse had to go through so much trauma to get their attention. If they had just listened it wouldn't have happened, but they kept insisting that no they were good dogs and he had total control over them. No one has control over an animal, especially dogs. Anyway, at least it will be peaceful again and a ton of stress off my shoulders.

In the meantime, I'm waiting for my body to recover. I'm in my wheelchair this morning. Hopefully in a few hours my body will be back to normal. :]

Make it a agreat day!

Good morning!

Before I forget, Pesach starts right after Shabbos, so after tomorrow I won't be posting again until Monday night.

Mom's feeling a bit better, so we're going in sometime today to get groceries. I can't wait. I'm out of a number of things and I can't finish my Pesach preps until I get some masking tape and a bucket.

Anyway, nothing much happening this morning. I managed to get the first round of de-wormer down Kitty's throat. I felt so bad for her. She foamed at the mouth the whole time. Poor baby. But at least in a few days she won't have worms sneaking out her butt and onto my bed. GROSS!!!

OH WAIT!!!! Bindi gave me a tiny little gift last night. I crawled in bed, shut off the light and layed there enjoying the hum of the electric heater when I felt something funny on my hand.

I rolled over, turned on the light and there was my tiny present! POOP! Nah! Just kidding. It was a STINKING TINY TICK!!!!!! I HATE TICKS!!!!

I leave you with that thought, just because I'm evil. :] Have a fun, tick-free day!

Sneezes and temps

It's been a weird morning. We were supposed to go in town, but mom is sick so I've been forcing my natural remedies down her throat. I love it! It's like revenge for all the crap stuff she'd shove down my throat when I was a kid. muuuuhahahaaaa....

Anyway, I'm hoping she'll feel well enough later to go in town. Jeff doesn't feel well, he's running a temp and I need to get him some amoxicillin. I just gave him an allergy pill. I'm waiting to see how long it takes to knock him out cold. LOL It took about 20 minutes the last time.

Anyway! I took the above pic yesterday. Jeff was so funny. He loves taking on the biggest trees he can find. He sizes them up and then attacks. Meanwhile, Bindi's only concern is where can I drink water from this time so I can go pee! ROFL

I tried to post a little vid that I did of them last night, but the file was too big, so I have to redo it. Keep an eye out on the Litterbox. It will be up by noon. Seriously, it will! :] Off to put it up!

PS: Forgot to mention. In the pic - Jeff was getting ready to pounce Bindi. :]

Bindi and the Geese!

This morning I saw a pair of Canada Geese walking about the barnyard, so I grabbed my new video cam and raced out to make a few short videos. I used the barn as a birdblind and to protect me from the bitter wind. Anyway, to make a long story short, here's the little clip I took.
