Saturday. Yea!

I had to take Sadie back to the vet today.  And she was not a happy camper about it.  She had been having quite a few spams with her esphogus and had cut way back in her eatting so I knew I would have to take her back.

Unfortunately Dr B was off today (and all of next week or I would have waited for him) so we had to see Dr Mac.  First thing she does is feel of Sadie's knees.  Ok, not what we went for, but I was told way back that Sadie had bad knees.  She doesn't seem to be having a problem with them so I ignore them for now.  By the time Dr Mac finishes with feeling of her knees Sadie is in a bad mood.  Dr Mac said I told you she had bad knees.  Right at that moment neither Sadie or I cared.

Next Dr wants to take Sadie's tempature. Sadie really wasn't in the mood for that.  I couldn't hold her still and Dr Mac was having problems so we had to get a tech to hold onto Sadie.  Sadie is meowing (something she never does) and acts like she could bite someone.

No fever.  I could have told her that.  Now Dr Mac looks at Sadie's chart to see what Dr B did last time we had this problem.  Shots, 3 of them for 3 days. 

Now Dr Mac is like well if it worked last time I guess it is what we will do this time.  duh  Now she comes at Sadie with needles.  Can you guess the attitude Sadie has now?  If Dr Mac hadn't messed with her knees and took the temp givng the shots would have been easier.

Actually I don't think Sadie liked the fact that it wasn't Dr B taking care of her.  The second Dr Mac touched her Sadie was ready to go home.

We get the shots and go pay the bill.  $68.  Sadie is ready to leave.  I sit her down (she is on a lease mind you) and she practically runs towards the car.  By the time I pull into the drive way she lets out a meow and wants out of the car.  I have the lease on her so I open the door (while I am taking off my seat belt, etc...) Sadie jumps out and starts for the house.  I could not get out of the car fast enough for her or get the front door open fast enough.

Can't wait till Monday when we go back for another shot.  Hopefully Dr Mac won't play with her knees again, and will keep the themometer hidden.  Or Sadie might just tell her where she can put it. 

 

Graphics for Vivian

I had thought about it and now that Trina of Reflections mentioned it in my comments I decided to run with it.  We will never be able to replace all the graphics Vivian has lost.  But we can get her off to a good start. 

So my fellow J-landers go through your graphics, got some you want to share?  Oh, come on you know you do.  Round them up.  It may be better to wait until Vivian gets back on line, or you can go ahead and send them to her (or to me and I will pass them along)

This simple little thing is the least we can do for her.  Vivian has been great doing her birthday journal for us, without her there would not have been such a great 1 year AOL Journal anniversary.

So, past the word.  Post it in your journal.  Lets see just how many graphics we can get for Vivian.  Come on, dig deep, it isn't costing you anything.  Nope, not one penny.  Just the price of an email.  Oh, wait, it doesn't cost to send an email!

Vivian needs our thoughts and prayers

Most of you know Vivian or have read her journal from time to time. (Click here to go read (listen) to today's entry) I just got a voice email from her which tells me a little more about her house being broken into.

 

Yeah, you heard me right.  Someone broke into Vivian's house -- thankfully she and her son were not at home when it happened -- and stole quite a few things.  They took her jewerly, computer, her son's play station and the keyboard he got for Christmas.

I can tell by the comments left at her journal that many of you are thinking and praying for her.  I ask that you do one more thing.  Seeing as she doesn't have her computer she can't read all the love that is pouring out to her.  But she does have the phone AOL thingy and can call in an entry, and can listen to her email.  Would you please drop her an email to let her know you are thinking and praying for her and for her son?

I feel so sad for her son.  What is most important to him has been stolen. Yes it can be replaced and I know Vivian is trying to figure that out now but you know how upset he must be.  My heart just goes out to him.

And one of the worst things for Vivian -- the one that was voted best use of graphics journal -- has lost all her graphics.  She kept them on a CD.  The CD she kept in the computer.  The computer that is now gone.

I have never been robbed so I don't know exactly how she feels but I would think other than losing your stuff you must feel strange knowing someone was in you home.  So please remember her and her son in your prayers.

Hopefully she will find a way to get back on line sooner rather than later.  But I know emails will help her feel the love coming from all of you.

Sharing

Rember the billboards that used to be around that were signed God?  I have some of those sayings made into graphics.  This is one of my favorites.  If you like it and want some more just click on it to go to my other place where I have them posted.  Grab all you want just leave a comment telling me you took them.

 

                              

Fair Day

Went to the fair today.  Had a great time.  This is a picture of the cats I saw there. 

There was a cat/dog show.  Cats doing tricks!!  Was great.  The picture is one that I bought.  You could have your picture taken with these great kitties for $5.  I didn't want to be in the picture but I had to have one of the cats.  I should have lightened it some because you can't see the black cat too well here.

I have never seen cats do tricks.  Well, ok every so often you see some on Animal Planet but it is totally different in person.  I am really impressed.  Have you ever tried to train a cat?  Chances are they trained you not the other way around.  LOL

Other than see the cats and dogs at the fair I bascially just walked around.  Oh, and ate.  You can't go to the fair without eatting.  Impossible.  I wanted to try the fried oreo cookies but I was starting to feel really full and didn't want to press my luck.  Who wants to get sick at the fair?

It is so hard to believe it is October already.  Last October my little Ashley (for those that don't know Ashley was my cat) died and the same week sweet Lucky (pet rabbit) died.  On the good side of things the vets think that Sadie must have been born around about October of last year.

Guess that is it for now.  I want to do an entry about October and the kitties but I'm not in the mood right now.

                     

                     

 

 

Nice Day

     
                            
                                                                                                               


                        Today was a pretty good day.  Went out with
                    my dad for breakfast.  Spent some time with
                   mom.  The weather was just perfect.  It is
                   starting to cool down and I love this time of
                   year so it was great.

                   I took Sadie for a ride.  She loves (or at
                   least I think she does) riding in the car.
                   She is on me looking out the window.  Any
                    way, most of the time a car ride means
                    going to the vet and I don't want her to
                    always think car and vet go together,
                    so I am trying to make an effort to
                   take her for a ride more often.

                    Not too many places you can take a cat
                    so after driving around for a little bit
                    we went thru the McDonalds drive thru
                    for some ice tea.  Ok, so the tea was for
                    me, but Sadie loved the attention she got
                    from the people in the drive thru.

                              

             The fair is in town.  I love to go and just walk 
              around.  I haven't riden the rides in forever but
              I still enjoy going.  Hopefully I will go tomorrow.
              They have a new show this year with dogs and 
              cats.  Yep, cats.  I have to see what kind of
              tricks the cats can do.
