What about a thread where we just chat about whatever is on our minds? When creating a separate thread for it isn't necessary. Just random stuff.
Like the fact that in trying to protect our cat from a feral intruder, my dogs both got attacked and one ended up in the emergency room at midnight with a bloody eye, corneal ulceration, and a cat claw stuck in his skin right above his eye. The local emergency vet clinics had 3-4 hour wait times. This was on Monday night. We had horrible fireworks this year so I think that had something to do with it. Lots of phone calls later, I found a place 30 minutes away that could take him in immediately. He's now on lots of medication and we're hoping the ulceration will heal without any permanent damage to his eye or vision. I didn't realize the ulceration was so painful. Poor little guy. The other dog got her face scratched too but doesn't look too bad. We didn't see it till the next morning. I'm still taking her in to the vet to check her out. The earliest appt he has is tomorrow night. I thought about going to another vet but I think she's okay to wait. Washed the cut and have been putting Neosporin on it. Lucy was a smart one - she stayed put on the couch through all the commotion. Good girl. This is where age has the upper hand.
I was so glad to be able to have all the medical things done and not worry at all about the price. And I'm so glad to be home to take care of the little guy. Lots of tasty treats are being had by all. Of course, the cat came through the whole thing completely unscathed. Another smart girl. No wonder she's Boss.
