@irishlove Ugh those vet prices…yikes! Hopefully the bare minimum gets your answer and hope the it was the anal glands. Also best to be prepared for Erin then maybe she won't come , isn't that how it goes sometimes lol. I also second the Chick-fil-a grilled sandwich , low calorie and tasty!

@threetree Been thinking of you this week, how's everything going?

Hi all. Mara, hope all your appts. go well and transit delivers you safely. Tigger sounds like he's pretty smart and must enjoy saunas. lol. I'm sorry you missed a trip out and about with your DB. If you get the opportunity of going to Chick-fil-a, I highly recommend their chicken noodle soup and grilled chicken sandwich. It's enough to make two meals and the soup is excellent.

Hi threetree. Thank you for your caring. Hurricane season is not for the weak of heart. I hope you are holding your own. This disease just plains stinks. Wanted to use another word, but trying to behave.

Hi Wren. Ah, thanks for responding. We'll get her checked next visit. We did have prior rescues that suffered seizures. This seems different to me, but I'm not a vet. Waiting for Pigeon to come home from the vet. I can't believe the multiple suggested tests and billing. We can't afford $1000 for UTI test ($250), heartworm test and heartworm pills (triple what we pay at Petco for same brand). I'm fairly sure it's anal gland related and so the tech "expressed" her glands. We'll see but today after her bath and just before going to the vet, she did not have an odor "down below". Figures.

In pockets for all and hello to you!

Update, Tigger is still on top of the washers, usually likes both but as long as they are not open that is fine, warm air is what he is looking for I think. I will just take a dry towel and wipe both out and keep lids closed for his safety. He knows Ava does not go anywhere but in the window so for him, the tops of my washers or the sink are fair game. He is happy in there.

Irishlove, it sounds like your dog may be having seizures. My granddog was on phenobarbital for hers.

Irish, I am sorry about your dog but glad that you had a good meal at Cracker Barrel and that your Factor box had some really good food in it to eat. Sounds great.

I did get to bed at a civilized hour and woke early for me. Slept pretty well. I have my echo so going out this morning but that is fine, should be home earlier. Tomorrow have my CT scan in the afternoon, need to make sure I stop eating 4 hours before. Next week have Herceptin on Wednesday. Put extra money on my Paratransit card.

DB did text me about going out around 6pm but turned him down this time as I did feel tired yesterday. Told him to have a good trip next week as it will be his wedding anniversary.

Not too much happening this morning, probably make egg and meat pie and get ready quickly as well. Put some coverup and bb cream on and ready to go.

Something with an egg will be on the way, prehaps a soft tortilla and an egg, I will see. Not sure about later.

I do hope everyone has a good day, hopefully comment section is fixed my mods. In pockets for everyone who needs me.

Good early morning all. Mara, bet that scared the heck out of you finding kitty where he didn't belong. A good friend lost their kitty to a garage door incident years ago. I'm so grateful that the doors now stop if the sensor picks up on a object. DH didn't park the car in far enough and fortunately the sensors worked.

We ordered Cracker Barrel tonight for delivery. DH didn't want to drive and tonight was turkey special, so I asked nicely and received a lovely meal. I did notice they have cut way back on amount of food but not quality. Still enjoyable especially with the sage stuffing. The Factor box included a meal of stroganoff hamburger with mushrooms, small boiled potatoes and delightfully tasting green beans. Can't put my finger on the spice used, but they were tasty and not hard or stringy. Cut way back on beef and going with more chicken, turkey meals.

Pigeon goes to vet tomorrow. She has a foul odor in her abdominal area. UTI??? Anal glands?? Don't know, but she doesn't have fever, eats fine and seems to act normal. Mama, Minnie Mouse has what I believe are beginning stages of doggie dementia. DH walks the two together early in morning, sometimes Minnie just freezes up and has a far away stare. I've noticed it here in the house. No accidents, nothing about her demeanor changes, just a sad thing to watch. She comes out of it without any residual problems, or at least so far.

It's hot and humid. Watching tropics carefully for any westward changes in the projected path for Hurricane Erin. Stocked up on water and paper products. DH will test run the generator this week. He's grocery shopping tomorrow to beat the crowds. Nothing written in stone, but we believe if it or one does hit us as stage 1 to 3, we will stay. Otherwise we will evacuate. There's a fairgrounds inland that accepts pets that are caged along with sleeping area that's less than hotel equipped, but it'll work. One thing we always forget to stock up on is cash. Without electricity stores that are open require cash. I've asked DD to make plans to come here. She is less then worried about such things.

In pockets for all those medical appts. Mara and for any one else waiting for test results and appts., too.
