Sue's Blog - Some assembly required.

Alanmas continues

Alanmas is well underway.
What more could anyone want?
Playing World of Warcraft, with a bottle of Jack Daniels to hand and a big fat cat asleep on your shoulder?
No wonder he likes coming here.

The weather continues to be amazing. We have no snow and temps of 10C.
Totally unheard of in January. Apparently records are being broken.
Unfortunately, it looks like today might be the last mild day. Cold weather and snow are forecast for us starting tomorrow.
We are not sure how much snow yet but I have an idea that Unky Al may be christening his new shovel.

Today Alan and I ventured out to the mall, without headsocks and 8 layers of clothing.
This is very odd for Alanmas.
Sod's Law states that :-
When thou doth hath a compatriot in attendance, thou shalt not be harassed by idiots at the stop of the bus...eth.
So, the trip was uneventful.

The sales are on so I was on the track of Billy Bargains.......I got a couple.

Alan kindly accompanied Philip when he took Lily to the vet for her vaccinations.
I gave her the tranquilising drug 2 hours before as instructed. Last year it took affect in about 20 minutes. I hated it.
She was staggering around and her eyes were dilated.
This time, after about an hour and half, there was no effects apparent.
No staggering. Sparkling, bright blue eyes. ..........Oh dear.
I had to phone the vet as they were leaving to let them know she was on her way.
With Lily the plan is ......in......needles.....exam.......weight........done........out......before she explodes.
Philip told the vet on arrival, that the meds didn't seem to be working. It seems the vet turned a little pale at this.
Lily was pretty good though. They gave her the vaccinations and weighed her but she had had enough by then.
The vet was going to examine her belly and teeth but our sweet, white, fluffy, little girl emitted a deep low growl and everyone changed their minds and decided she was done.
We think the meds may have been out of date and lost potency.

I will get new ones next year.
