Back to the vet again!

Well, unfortunately Fergus has been back up at the v-e-t’s for x-rays today.  I brought her Thursday appointment forward because of the lump that was concerning me.  I was worried that she might have popped a stitch and that what … Continue reading

To air condition or not to air condition…

Flo’s skin – fabulous. George’s wound – fine. Fergus – home.  For the weekend.  … and breathe. I’m not sure about my nursing prowess.  I’m quite good at fussing, but nursing? Our feline heroine is none too impressed with her … Continue reading
