Fresh Water

Such a pretty kitty!!  Luna looks a bit perturbed at the intrusion into pugger territory though, lol

I love the look on Luna’s face.  It is now her turn to think about CAT germs.

This really made me laugh out loud.  Miss Annie Fannie recently decided she did not like to drink water from the community bowl. I put fresh water in another bowl and she drank like crazy.  Ok.  The next time she wanted water she stood by “her” bowl, but would not drink. She now has mer trained to give her nothing but fresh water each time in “her” bowl.

Yesterday she had her first visit with Dr. Rowe as she needed heartworm medicine.  He trimmed her nails and he said she screamed like a stabbed pig.  She also had a little infected bump between her toes on one foot which was probably caused by a cut walking on our dry, crunchy, brown grass.  Dr. Rowe lanced it and because it bled a little he bandaged the foot.  Miss Annie came back in thr room, he put her down and she limped as if her foot had been amputated, and then began to continually walk arouhd in circles.  What a dram queen, and what a first impression she made with Dr. Rowe, but he thinks she is hilarious.

I have to keep a pitcher of filtered water in the frig for Bella - it seems to help ward off the bladder infections.

SUE VDB:  Bella, too, had a nasty swelling on her foot this summer and the vet thought it was started by the needle sharpness of the dry grass around here.  He had to lance it and bandaged it up to her “elbow” joint.  We went through some amazing screaming fits everytime I had to change it and put on fresh.  (it was a large mass of infection - so it took a bit) But the kicker was, I started bringing her water to her if she was up on the ottoman so she wouldn’t jump down.  She LIKED it!  Now she will stand up on the ottoman - look in the direction of her water dish and bark for it to “come to her”!  It’s become a total “thing” now as I found it cute and funny the first 20 times.  But - what the hay - I get a little needed exercise step and fetching for her.  (It’s a good thing it’s just the 2 of us!)

It looks like Cupid is exacting a little revenge for Luna laying on her rug! (Caption this #252)
Great stories, Mary and Sue VDB! I’m not going to share them with Lucy and Pen-it might give them ideas !

Luna does look a little perturbed at Cupid drinking from the pug bowls
Mary and Sue VDB loved your stories this mourning brought a chuckle

Yes cats are boss. No matter what sort of new dog bed i buy or where its put the cat is the first to try!
Definatly done for badness. My fat cat rules all pugs.

Mary, I had to laugh at your Bella story.  QP brought out a lot of “telling stories” today, all funny and all telling how we cater to our “owners”. 

I am getting ready to give Annie’s paw an epsom salt bath per Dr. Rowe…oh my.  My plan is to place the epsom salt bath in a plastic cup, place it in the sink, pick up Annie and place her paw in the cup the same time I put the rest of her in the sink…yeah right.  Wish me luck.

SUE VdB:  Hope you met with success with the Epsom Salt soak.  My vet had me use as a “sitz bath” - even before she hurt her paw.  I pour a shallow bath and Miss B sits in it and soaks all 4 feet and her little behind as well.  It seems to calm down some of her foot chewing - I get her good and rinsed - but she sits in the tub and I sit on the “commode” and with just chat.  But she’s not the “go-er” that your A-Fay appears to be so a “spa day” experience may not be what you are she is looking for.  At any rate - hope her little foot heals quickly and you can go on to the next Annie Fannie Adventure!
