What the … ? Just … what the … ? I know I have been wanting to go outside (and not with that stupid harness on Kaz) but what was she thinking yesterday! She came in carrying a red and wire cage … I think I remember from over a year ago when she took me to the vet for a big sleep … and then when I came home I had to be a ConeHead for a while – like a week or 10 days – so I wouldn’t pull out my stitches before the vet could! Oh my … there are some not pleasant memories there.
And then, here’s the cage again … I didn’t have to wonder what it meant for long because Kaz had scooped me up, put me in, and then held my head down as she lowered the trap door … oops, that would be the lid. She threw a towel over the whole thing and off we went … I think An was just coming in as we were leaving because there was some talking … but then Kaz and I were in the car and on our way … to the vet! It can never be anything nice can it … but at least I should be thankful that there was no temperature-taking this time (that can be a wee bit uncomfortable) – and I know my weight now – 5.35kg. So, I was there to be vaccinated (whatever that is … but I can tell you it does involve a jab with a needle) and having my claws clipped (try saying that 10 times quickly). It wasn’t totally unpleasant and I do have new food from the vet now … which is so yummy that when Kaz was getting me some out this morning and putting it on my bowl, I had to have some before she could even get it down off the bench. Mmmmm … scrumptious!
I was a bit tired last night though and I spent most of the evening curled up in Kaz’s arms at the table while she watched The Mentalist (he’s already taken care of Red John so it wasn’t too scary) and played one of her Casino games on her tablet. She called Sooz out to have a look at me at one point because she was concerned that there was something wrong with me – maybe a reaction to the vaccination – because I was … what was the word she used …. “quivering” – which is odd because I always thought that had something to do with arrows.
When she went to bed she carried me to my bed on the couch (thank you Sooz!) and told me to let them know if I needed them during the night. I didn’t though and I must have had a good night’s sleep because the next thing I knew there alarms were going off and Kaz was coming out to feed me. Then, tummy full of yummy food, I joined Sooz on the bed for my morning nap … in Tibet … actually under Sooz’s shawl which has a label which says “Tibet”. I don’t know what it is about Kaz at the moment but she seems to be taking more photos of me than usual – especially when I’m trying to sleep … in Tibet – or anywhere really!
