Another Visit to the Vet Clinic on Wednesday

Dancer 

Hello Blog Friends,

It's me, Dancer.  It's been a long time since I last wrote a blog post.  But, I have not been feeling too well, recently, and I'm sure Mummy has told you about it.

Today, I had another appointment at the vet clinic.  I had to go in the carrier and you know that I don't like being in that carrier!  I don't like being locked up in that cage and I protested about it, quite loudly.  I got so upset that I started panting and Mummy said I was hyperventilating (I had to ask her what that meant and she explained it to me).  Well, it was because I was put into this carrier and then, taken in the car, and taken to this place where there were strangers and other cats and dogs.  

We waited in the waiting area for a short time and then, one of the technicians said that a person was bringing a rather fierce dog and we were all asked to move off to a side to clear a path for the fierce dog to go through!  All the people in the waiting area had to move to a side hallway while the fierce dog was taken to the examination room!  The technician took my carrier from Mummy and put it up on a high counter, where the dog wouldn't see me.  I was very glad when they said that we could go back to wait in the waiting room!  

Later, another technician came and took me to one of the back rooms where they weighed me (I've gained a little over one pound in the last month!), drew some blood from me to run some tests, and gave me an injection for my arthritis.  Ooh, that hurt!  Mummy said the bill for the visit hurt her! 

The vet will call Mummy when the blood test results come in.  Until then, Mummy will continue to give me the ear ointment.  I don't mind that, too much.  I didn't like the ointment she put in my eye, but, my eye is much better, now, and she has stopped putting the eye ointment.  

Then, we drove home and I meowed all the way home, mostly because I was anxious to get home where I knew I'd be safe from fierce dogs!

After we came home, Mummy gave me some tuna as I am not liking the canned cat food that much after I threw up the other day.  Mummy ate some of her muffins for brunch.

Later, our gardener M arrived and Mummy gave him some muffins, too, and a tomato from the garden.  I like M and once he brought me a toy mousie to play with.  I found a safe spot for the mousie to hide  under the china cabinet and now, we can't get him to come out to play!    

 I had more tuna for dinner and Mummy had chicken, rice, green peas, and peach chutney.  

Mummy says that she is grateful for:

- Having the vet check me and give me medicines
- A safe drive to the clinic and back
- M taking care of the garden for us
- I've gained a little weight
- Me being a good, brave kitty

Mummy says her joyful activity for the day was admiring the flowers in the garden.

I am grateful for:

- Not being in the carrier
- The fierce dog didn't attack me!

My joyful activity for the day was eating tuna!  

What was your joyful activity on Wednesday, blog friends?  Do you like tuna?  I hope you have a good day, tomorrow. 

Take care,

Dancer
