Ooohh yes, I have remembered something else I won as a raffle prize.
A Jean Greenhowe gardener, who I call Hamilton.

They were gorgeous weren't they all the different ones

Tasha is due to come home from the Vet later this afternoon. She is a very ill kittizen. As well as an infected tooth, she had mouth ulcers and something else, with a long latin name that I cannot remember. Apart from when she was spayed, she has never been a "patient". Something tells me she is going to be very impatient.

She will need to be kept indoors for about two weeks, and given opiates on a regular basis. This presents a challenge on many fronts. I have to prevent her escaping from the house, get her to use a litter tray, and keep an eye on her and her dosage of medicine, and make sure that Bob does not eat Tasha's food containing the opiates. Does anyone want to cat sit Bob while all this is going on?

for you and Tasha, I hope she feels better soon

It's been chucking it down here - I went out on my winter bike, with overshoes and my waterproof jacket. I still got soaked.......and this is the second week of August.

Same here, non stop rain

No rain here. YET. But I have put one of the oil radiators on to take the edge off the chill. Wondering if I might throw some logs on the fire later or pop another radiator on.

Is that Metacam that Sasha's been given, Wol?

 

[Speicher]

Metacam is one of them, will tell you the other one in another post. I am now reclined on the sofa, watching "Father Brown". I need a relaxing evening. Last night was very disturbed, and tomorrow could be challenging.

Is the syringe given painkiller with a needle or administered orally, if the latter make sure you give it from the side of her mouth not the front.

This may be superfluous information but just as long as you know.

I presume you didn't even have to audition...

Mind you, you can understand why you're such a miserable bunch.

Just cos southerners are a namby-pamby wittering group of wimps is no reason to praise them, send em down t'pit for a few years that'll even up the statistics.

I've got a cold kicking in...

Time to dose up.

See.

Yes, but it is a question of first catch your cat. Ill as she was, Tasha had a mighty turn of speed. I could try that if necessary. She may only have a few teeth, but her claws are very sharp.

If it is of any help I will take the opiates and stay indoors for two weeks. Hope poor Tasha has a speedy recovery

No, I did not know that, I was told it either had to go on her tongue or onto her food if she is eating again. I would not like to use a needle injection wotsit, without proper training, and a full suit of armour.

Thank you. That is very kind of you to offer. Do you like knitting and baking, or would you just zonk out under the dining room table?

I can knit, and am very happy to test people's baking efforts. Suspect there may be the odd zonk however
