this one i have some energy for it looks like
i spent yesterday doing dishes by hand (dishwasher gets no water pressure with the low flow faucet- bernie hasn't built it in so ...hand wash)
it's been a while
i also cooked a bunch of things like hard boiled eggs, a crockpot roast to shred , for salads as it's just too hot for him to eat something hot when he gets home
i made him drink homemade lemonade too instead of his iced tea.
he slept last night
i slept a bit more i think too
now i have to tell you folks, our fawnie is going to the vet tuesday
we're very concerned
she's been slowly losing weight but we felt it was her age
she was eating well and slowing down a bit here and there
then she started to mat
then she started to eat like a horse and RUN around crazy like she used to
then she started to mat so bad we can't keep up with it
i went online and i think she may have thyroid issues
so tuesday is her appointment
now, my van has no ac, a slow leak in the right front tire
and we have to drive all the way to hellerstown (over an hour) away to the vet......
in this heat
we are going early early
but i am worried about her in the trip down and back
i am going to take ice packs and such to try and keep her comfortable
but i am so very worried
plus she hates crates or cages of any kind (can you blame her?)
so this is going to be really upsetting for her
and it'll just be me and her
so if it is bad news........ i'm all alone down there
i can not imagine my life with out fawn, thaddeaus or calpurrnia.....
so i am hoping it's a minor thyroid thing that the vet can treat
now as to all you folks, stay safe if you've got this excessive heat
Heat is the norm here in the aptly named Heart of Texas (H.O.T.)! When we hear of a heat wave in the north, it's usually in the 90's, which is a balmy spring day for Texas. However, most of our neighbors to the North don't have A/C or coping skills for heat. Just remember how paralyzed we are with 3" of snow!
ReplyDeleteHi Vi, Sorry to hear about Fawn being sick. Older cats do get thyroid problems alot. Have the vet give you the cream that you massage in the kitties ear instead of the pills..... My boy Woody had thyroid and they gave me pills and he would just spit them out no matter what I did. I didn't know about the cream and the vet never told me it was an option. Sadly my big beautiful boy passed on a few months later.... Wish I had known about the cream. Stay cool if you can. Sincerely, Catherine
ReplyDeleteOur high today was 66, it rained a lot last night. We should warm up to the mid to upper 70's in the next week, getting to about 80 a week from now.
ReplyDeleteHope the vet goes ok.
