The topic: Sagwa update

----------------------------------------------

Sagwa is doing much better.  He still gacks a little, but not even close to how much he did it last week.  He slept a lot yesterday, so I’m hoping there’s some healing going on.

This morning, he’s running around, almost back to normal.  Yay!

The topic: Bladder infections

----------------------------------------------

One of the signs of a kitty bladder infection is frequent squatting.  Whenever I see this, I start that cat on amoxicillan, which usually clears the problem up.

Last week, Rachel did the frequent squatting with a dribble of urine.  I spent the day Thursday trying to grab her up and pill her.  She’d have none of it. She turned her nose up at pill pockets. She is not a treat driven kitty.

She wouldn’t let me near her after my first big attempt.  Finally, yesterday, I was able to get close enough to her to get a pill in her.  It was a little more easy last night.  I guess maybe she realized I wasn’t trying to kill her.

Poor little girl, I know she’s uncomfortable.

The topic: This weekend

----------------------------------------------

We’re in the process of changing the boundary lines for the property.  Instead of two forty acre parcels, we want one seventy acre parcel and one ten acre parcel.

Well, San Diego County does everything in it’s power to make any type of land change as difficult as possible, unless you’re a big developer with a buttload of money.  We aren’t big developers and we most certainly don’t have a buttload of money.

This started last year and the notice came from the county last week, that there are a number of things that must be rectified before the change can take place.  One of them was the property has “structures” on it.  The structures consist of trailers with equipment in them.  So, Brian and his brother went up to the property late Friday morning and Brian just got home last night around ten.  They emptied the trailers and put them on Mark’s property. 

I had the weekend to myself.  Friday, I went down to the little taco shop for lunch and got a beef taco with guacamole and a quesadilla.  I went to the grocery store and got a pint of Hagen Daas light ice cream.  I had the ice cream for dinner.  I went to bed around ten, ten thirty.  At about five til two in the morning, some cat decided it wanted out.  It was Lorelai.  She scratches at the door.  She stand full length and pulls her paws down the glass, repeatedly.  i ended up taking the spray bottle and shooting her with it.  Then I’d go back to bed, start to nod off, and she’d start up again.  I finally got back to sleep sometime after 2:40.

Saturday morning, I got up early, got dressed, brushed my teeth and hair (the area around my eyes, left side mostly, looked like I’d had silly putty injected and I could actually move the puffiness around).  I went to the little restaurant for breakfast.   The eggs didn’t taste right, I don’t know it if was the eggs or me.  You know how sometimes things just don’t taste right, but no one else has a problem with them.  Saturday morning, I felt like crap. I slept a lot.

Early in the afternoon, I opened the house up and started reading a book I’d started last week.  I finished it that night.  I had a great night’s sleep.  And yesterday, I started reading another book, finished that one and started on a third. 

I didn’t spend much time online.   It’s been forever since I took a weekend to just read.  It was really nice.
