a trip to the vet, and life on the range!!!
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
well, we went to the vets yesterday! took me 20 minutes to get the cat into the carrier! boy oh boy, he fought like cassius clay!! i found out something, its easier to get the cat into the carrier hind feet first instead of head first. and be quick to shut the gate! damn good thing i had the closet door closed! otherwise, he woulda ran in there, got behind the water heater, and that would have been that!!




he been hacking like he wanted to hurl up a hairball, and he been doing this several times a day! ya think he would do it in front of the doc? noooooo, he just sat there all subdued. and passive. but thats ok, he needed to get his shots updated, cause im taking him to the boarder that the cat hospital has when i goto journal con, and they wanted him to have his shots up to date!

heres what he got:

FELV Adult Leukocell 2 $20.00
FVRCP Adult Felocell CVR-C $47.00
Rabies-Feline 3 year Defensor $16.00
Discount-Feline Vaccs Package ($9.00) oh boy, a discount!!
Feline Comprehensive Plus C-1 (SA200) $155.70

heres what I got:

total bill, pay NOW, thank you! $229.70!

what, no tax? heheheee

good thing i didnt buy yesterdays woot! or ANYTHING ELSE for that matter!!!

ok, so hes better it seems, he aint hacking. but the doc did say that he aint sure that its hairball hacking, he thinks that it might be a thyroid. well that scares me somewhat. I gotta call them later on today to find out the results.

they took him to another room to get the blood draw. and he seemed none worse for the wear.

so, we went to the supermarket to get cat food, then onward to home. once i got him in the carrier he just sits, but i knew he was scared, cause he was shedding big time. and once we got home, he finished shedding, after a 10 hour hiatus under the bed!

the 2 tenants that owed rent for the month, came up with the rent checks yesterday. funny how a 3 day notice will motivate some people! so now, every one is paid up. last evening, i went outside for a while and noticed on the nice lawn that we have, someone threw hot dog buns on the lawn!!! WTF?? i started asking people who did this, and one of the tenants confessed! "I just wanted to feed the birds!" well, ya cant yell at these mindless fucks! i used to be a mindless fuck, so i can call them mindless fucks! maybe i still am a mindless fuck! anyhoo, the only bird that hangs in here is the falcon that one of the tenants has, and he keeps him chained to a perch, and he aint interested in no bread! no birds come into the courtyard here!!

so, i had to explain to her like you talking to a 6 year old why its a bad idea to throw hotdog buns on the lawn. then, one of the other tenants came running up, and said that she does this all the time! like little children they are!! so, i just smiled, and said thats all right, shes not gonna do it anymore. (i hope not) we wanna keep this place nice and clean dont we? and we all live here, this is our home, its not the shelter, ok? nice and gentle, nice and calm.

different attitudes are required here, its not like the rio grande where when someone fucks up, you have to lower the boom, hard, to get them to comply. here, you have to be gentle, and explain things just so. then they smile, and say, ok, and thats that!

speaking of the rio grande, i will be working there from 9 to 5 today! i am soooo glad i dont have the graveyard shift anymore!!! specially now, its football season!!! and i can watch the games on sundays!! there are benefits to paying rent, i tell ya!

sometimes, the old feelings come up and linger, before, when things were going smooth, something would come around and knock me back down into the gutter. sometimes, i am waiting for that to happen. well, its been 14 months, and i gotta say, all is still well, and i aint pissed anyone off yet!

(note to d-man i am 1.8288 meters tall.)

well, i better wrap this up! people are leaving comments already!! maybe monday, i may switch to haloscan. wanna vote on it? all in favour of me switching, say aye! all opposed, say nay!!! hey poola!! i says "aye" and "nay" and you didnt!! neener, neener, neener!!! hehehehee!!!
hava fun filled, action packed weekend!!! winters coming!! so's my birthday!! 47.



FACT OF THE DAY
Today is the anniversary of the birth of Mungo Park. Born in Selkirk in 1771, Park was a surgeon and explorer and became the first European to discover Africa's third-longest river, the Niger. While attempting to reach the coast by way of the Niger his party came under repeated attack. When his canoe got stuck on rapids, the attacks turned deadly and Park met his end on the river he was determined to chart.

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian



You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...

But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.

You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.

You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!

How Machiavellian Are You?
