#mellie — Public Fediverse posts

What a hard life. She woke up from her hiding place under my bed, drank some water, and went back to sleep on one of her beds in the bedroom.

If someone told me that when I am 62 years old, I will be putting my finger inside a dog's anus to clean up her anal glands, I would have laughed out loud and called them crazy!

Mellie has been scooching alot lately, she is very uncomfortable and licks her but a lot.

I used to take her to the vet for our seasonal visit and ask the vet to clean it up for me, but since I am living on extreme low budget, the poor Mellie has to accept my "treatment" instead of his favorite person (she loves our vet a lot).

I am very glad I still had a few gloves in the first aid kit and managed to squeeze her but in the shower.

SHE WAS NOT HAPPY!

But she is now walking around "normal" and not scooching on the rug all the time!

Me on the other hand, had to wash my hand 3-4 times, even though I was wearing gloves!

How is your tuesday morning going?

Have to live frugal for another 3 months paying off Mellie's knee operation.

I have to cook healthy and cheap food so I went for chicken stew.

Cooked 2 chicken breast with some onions, a few frozen cubes of spinach and a can of kidney beans.

Had it with cuscus for dinner last night and froze 3 meals and going to have it for dinner tonight too.

7 days since the #operation, #Mellie is doing great.

She started walking on all 4 yesterday, she slept on the operated leg without any problems and today she squatted in the park on both her back legs without shaking or showing any sign of pain!
