  1. Ah! The joys of belonging to a corporate vet practice.
    It's 9:50pm and we're sitting in the waiting room of an emergency vet clinic in the city over an hour drive from home.
    We've been over an hour so far with no idea how much longer this will be. We'll be paying the big bucks to get Badger seen at the emergency clinic because our own vet has been at a conference and can't see their own patients. The exam fee is $180+ and then they'll 'draw up a plan of treatment and see where we go from there.'. Oh. And there will be a long wait because... It's an emergency clinic.. 5, 6, 7 hours?
    😖
    Badger's not that sick, she's not critical, it's just not advised to wait as it could become worse.
    And I just heard someone saying that they had paid $30,000 on treatment for their Guinea pig.
    ??? What can you say?

    Meanwhile we wait.

  2. Beautiful warm ride yesterday, to Grand Pré and beyond, across the Dykeland, to Evangeline beach at low tide. Much of it was below sea level, and flat, as if we were in the Netherlands. Rather too many ugly RVs on the park there, but no one around. The #RailsToTrails path was cinder and maintained, we saw an eagle near her nest on the trail. Worth the ride.

  3. Free Bird Flu book:

    This is amazing! Dr. Greger has made his book on Bird Flu available to read for free. The reviews from credible scientific sources are impressive, yet it's very readable. And, though published in 2007, more timely than ever.

    You can read it for free here: h5n1book.org

    Alas, there are no alternatives at this juncture but to keep hanging.

  6. Poor Badger doesn't care for dentistry!

    She had a lot of teeth removed about 10 days ago (she suffers from resorption), so that's pretty traumatic in itself. To make matters worse the pain medication made her nauseous so she wouldn't eat and when I stopped giving her that medication she was in too much pain to eat the soft canned food. The others offered to help clean her plate but were foiled in the attempt and went off in a sulk. So everyone was pretty miserable, including Steven and me.

    She's doing much better now that she's on pain and anti nausea meds she can tolerate. She's eating again and obviously feeling more like herself.

    She'll have to go back to have the others removed in 6 months or a year. They didn't want to keep her under the anaesthetic any longer as her blood pressure became difficult to stabilize.

    I don't do well when any in my little family are sick.

    Here's Badger when she was just back from her surgery.

  10. The best place to be on a grey cold day is in front of a warm fire.

    As you can plainly see, the fluffy mat is only just big enough for one cat. Ping (Pangolin) is relegated to enjoying the floor that's warmed by the wood stove.

    Happy #caturday all!

  14. It seems that entente is possible

    These two managed to sit side by side after all. This is how friendships are built and understanding grows (we hope).

    Have a happy #Caturday all who celebrate and if you don't (why not?) at least enjoy the thought that former enemies can be comfortable together, given time.
