Today is Tessa’s turn at a vet visit. She doesn’t believe it. Sure, the PTD has been sitting out since Quint took his turn three weeks ago. A carrier cover blanket, a soft, clean towel, and a just-in-case pee pad are sitting close by, waiting to go. She might have gotten a clue. Hopefully, Mom won’t telegraph her intent until the moment Tessa’s scooped up and placed inside. But it doesn’t always go smoothly, not with Tessa. Not by a long shot.

About a month ago, Tessa felt under the weather. She was having a hard time eating, she was drooling, and her chin was swollen. We think she’s having dental issues and perhaps had an abscess. This is the soonest she could get into our vet and of course, she’s feeling much better now. Still, dental issues don’t go away on their own. The vet will know. Accepting all good thoughts for her trip today!

Quint’s potential UTI tests came back negative! Though he’s entered into the early, early, earliest of stage one kidney disease, no UTI is great news! Thank you for your good thoughts and kindness during and after his vet trip. It all helped!

01/16/2023 – Thinking Cap Monday

Mom has a busy week this week with what she says are appointments coming out of her ears. Now, you should know, I sleep next to Mom and I have a pretty good view of her ears and never have I seen anything resembling an appointment coming out of her ears. But, okay. Let’s humor her. You know how Moms can get if you don’t humor them, and often!

After much thought, this week I had planned to help Mom put away decorations, but if she has other things on her plate, I guess I’ll use this time to get some well deserved winter sun. I think everyone should take a moment to soak in some winter sun, if you have any. Today’s been a rare day for that here so I’m not passing that up!

Still, these Christmas lights aren’t going to put themselves away. I think Mom needs to take a moment to pull these off the window sill, traipse downstairs, and tuck them into the shiny lights box. How long would that possibly take, one minute, two minutes? I think her priorities need to shift a bit, maybe a two minute shift, don’t you?

Well, I’m off to see what else Mom should be able to squeeze into her busy week. I think she’ll thank me later, when she’s taken time out to praise and pet me, of course. Have a happy, thoughtful week!
