Today is just a chatty post
I returned to work last night and the change in routine antibioticsfloored me.
I slept a couple of hours today then took the Welsh to the vets.
Mary has an ear infection again.
I left Roger making lurve with the receptionists whilst Mary put up with an examination and a first dose of steroid and antibiotics which she had via the meat and cheese of a pre bought McDonald’s cheeseburger.
Genius
I sat down with a cuppa and the twins and the purring sounded so loud from their plot on the sofa top, it sounded as if wartimebombers were going over.
My sister Janet had to have her dog Ossie put down today so I've called down with a takeaway for her and her hubby as well as gin and whisky. My elder sister Ann was already there with beautiful roses from her garden. I wasn’t surprised
Bun and her fish cushion
Ufff - coming off a night shift is no fun.
ReplyDeleteYou've done well to get Mary and Roger to the vet and cudos for getting the burger for the medicine ahead of time!
Bun is a HIM? Too cute against the fish pillow.
Hugs!
I’m good at multitasking
DeleteIt sounds like love. Poor Mary.
ReplyDeleteShe’s brighter after steroids
DeleteExperience with working a combination of day and night shifts has me sympathizing with you.Luv the photo of Bun with her cushion,loudly purring kittens soon become cats that are loyal and well adjusted,I hope you rest well when you do,-Mary
ReplyDeleteI’ve just lit the fire
DeletePoor Mary. Ear infections are hard to treat. My dog Caesar took antibiotics with some success and just finished a round of Otomax ointment and his ears are clear now. The ointment worked well.
ReplyDeleteBun is one happy kitten. So cute.
Mary has suffered infections all of her life
DeleteChanging shift and antibiotics? At the same time? You have superman's constitution! And managed to get the right people in the right place today,, including the vet? Awesome! A chatty little post is still fine, you know. Have a good weekend to everyone at the cottage!
ReplyDeleteMary is the recipient of the of the antibiotics
DeleteI hope Mary's ear heals quickly. Lovely photo of Bun . Yes, for little mites, kittens' purrs can be very loud. One contented and very secure in her surroundings, little cat. You've done a good job there, John. Hope you get some deep, restful sleep, too! xx
ReplyDeleteI've just seen your update. Please pass on my condolences to Janet. Our pets leave a big hole in our lives when they're gone. xx
DeleteThey are growing on me
DeleteSo sorry your sister lost her beloved pet, not a good day for her. Bun looks very contented with the fish pillow. You have been busy so now time for a gin and a good sleep. Gigi
ReplyDeleteJust having onexx
DeleteChange in shift and antibiotics? I hope you can adjust and stay well. You have a lot going on.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for Janet's loss of beloved pet. It is lovely how your family rallies around and is so loving and supportive.
I’m back on nights sunday
DeleteSo sorry to hear that Janet, sending kind wishes to you Kath x

DeleteI thought the same Lee. I love the fact the siblings are close.I’m envious
It’s nice to always have them there
DeleteI’m a only child too Kieth
DeleteLee
Those beautiful twins seem to be settling right in.
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen is the only no no area
DeleteSo enjoyed that the kitchen is a no no area, especially when you walked in the kitchen one day and saw Mary sitting in a bowl on your kitchen table. I always remember that photo.
DeleteSo sorry about Ozzie, they steal our hearts.
Good that you and Ann are supportive at this time of Ossie's loss. Condolences to Janet and her husband.
ReplyDeleteJanet and Ned doted on Ozzie
DeleteUrgh night shift... I hated them. Sorry to hear about Janet's dog; losing a furry friend is always devastating, R.I.P Ossie, many condolences Janet. Bun and her fish look very cosy together; I miss kitten purrings, my house is now down to two older boys who lounge around all day leaving fur everywhere they go. Do Bun and Weaver cosy up together?
ReplyDeleteYes they do, all the time, though bun likes places that feel safe
DeleteI hope Mary feels better soon. Bun is so cute! So sorry for Janet on the loss of her beloved dog. I think I will have to make a decision soon for my little pug. Her mobility is difficult & she's incontinent but still loving life. If she were in pain it would be an easy call. It's lovely you are there for your family.
ReplyDeleteCondolences on the loss of a family member.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Ossie, it's heartbreaking when you lose a dearly loved pet. Poor Mary too, don't the vets know what keeps causing it, narrow canal, hair perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI love purrs, often the more
you stroke them , the more they purr. The more you stroke them and handle them the more likely they are to become cuddle cats, unlike you say Arthur was. My cats have purred whatever their age, kneaded too, though I call it paddling. Happy, content and safe kittens.
However, I also read that injured and poorly cats have been known to purr too. Something about comfort and healing process.
My 17 and a half year old boy Rascal developed a failing heart which made his lungs fill with fluids, and the evening before he was being taken to the vet to go to sleep, he spent on my lap purring, kneading and being cuddled. Heartbreaking.
I like the fish cushion, I bought my ginger and white, long haired cat a ginger and white cat face cushion.😸
Jean.
I'm glad you and your sister rallied around Janet. Hope you have a nice weekend, John.
ReplyDeleteI love your family, John. You are so tender with each other. I also love the contented look on Bun's face. She is home.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your sister's dog. Losing a pet is so hard.
ReplyDeleteHugs to Janet for the loss of her furbaby. They take such a big piece of our hearts when they must leave.
ReplyDeleteHaving a pibble mix now, I don't miss the frequent ear cleanings that I had to do with the cockapoo. Bun is adorable, and I love the crocheted blanket with the waves.
The blanket is the Moorland blanket from Lucy at Attic 24. If you can crochet, or know someone who can, the pattern and details are on her blog (Attic 24, under patterns and tutorials). Inspired by the colours of the Yorkshire Moors. I made one for my daughter who now lives in Yorkshire. xx
DeleteMy friend ruth made the blanket. Its adorable
DeleteAdorable photo of Bun and her fish! Sorry about your sister's dog but I'm glad she has your support at a tough time.
ReplyDeleteShould be a nice fat vet's bill to pay following Roger's treatment. Is your vet nice and fat?
ReplyDeleteIt was Mary that went to the vets 😕
DeleteI cant get to your latest post, have I been blocked. I can’t sign on with google. Gigi
ReplyDeleteLike Gigi I am blocked from your latest post - in fact the trying to sign on to Google was so convoluted that I started to suspect some nefarious data harvesting plan (not by John I hasten to add). Oh dear.
ReplyDeleteCeci
to Gigi and Ceci, i can't see that post same as you, was wondering if only people following this blog can see it.
