The Vets' Cool Floor.

 The Vets’ Cool Floor.

 

Gave Sylvia some trazadone last night and again this morning with nacho cheese. She was so totally drunk that she slipped off the steps that are used to help her get into the back seat of the truck. Poor girl! At least the vet tech helped when we were ready to leave and simply picked her up and put her inside the back seat. They asked me to give her that stuff so that she would not try to bite them when they trimmed her toenails. Didn’t bite, but Dear Hearts, it did not stop her from expressing her feelings vocally. Thompson was very upset that she was in the other room and carrying on. He wanted to go take care of the problem. Finally got them both out of the room and over to the checkout desk. Sylvia just lay on the floor as if it were too difficult to stay on her feet. Hated to give her that stuff, but at least she got her nails trimmed and did not chew on anyone in the process.

 

That office was absolutely interesting with all the dogs—and only one cat. Tiny little lady with a huge Goldendoodle, a big lady with an overweight border collie, a really tall man with a tiny little wiener dog, and one Australian cow dog that just could not be still. Thompson decided the floor was nice and cool and just stretched out—never moved even when folks stepped over him. Still think we need an Olympic event called “dog stepping” where a person has to step over multiple dogs without stepping on a tail or foot. Can just see that event now!

 

Blake is supposed to come to Patty’s tomorrow to take out a dead tree. If it does not rain until late in the day, that should work out well. And Patty has a couple of jobs for her husband’s friend Roy that include putting in a new flapper on the doggie door and checking on the fence line near the lake. Three dogs showed up recently on her place and should not have been able to even get inside the big yard. Guess maybe we will see where they got in through the fence line.

 

Did not pick up groceries yesterday and don’t want to get out again today. So, breakfast or lunch-upper has consisted of avocados and Pace picante sauce with chips for a couple of days. Just not particularly interested in cooking. The dogs are going to have to get interested in eating up the last of the ham cause the old woman certainly doesn’t want any. Iced tea, watermelon, something cold or easy to eat sounds much better. And summer isn’t even here yet!

 

Have mentioned Toni and her new baby to the Father a couple of times over the past few days. Sitting here thinking that Shona and Albert will be happy if both mother and child are healthy at this point. A C-section is definitely not easy on the mother, but sometimes it is not too good for the child either. Anyway, let us pray that Toni heals quickly and that the baby will do well.

 

Let us pray for peace in this crazy country where people can’t stand for others to have their own feelings about the war in Israel. May God protect His people and give them the wisdom to handle the upsetting circumstances around them.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
