Lamed Grizzy/cold day rantz

My poor lit’kat is making like a Tripod right now.   Been limping for a week, but I thought the problem was bruised shoulder (he’s prone to that,,,  usually shakes it off in a day or three).  Not this time.  his little paw is swole up like and one of his claws is pushing out, so you know where the infection is located.   And I am NOT allowed to touch it, oh hell noez!!!    I can look, but the minute I start to reach for that paw, he’s hobbling away as fast as he can, mewing up a storm(his version of cussing me out).

Fine.   Doc visit it is!!!    Scheduled for monday at 3pm, and he ain’t gonna like that one at all.   (except they give him the good pain killers along with all the antibiotics and what not, and he DOES like those.  silly kat!). 

Not like I can afford it, but I most definitely can’t afford the emotional angst of watching him fall apart as infection eats him up either.   Been there done that in his last version and that damned near killed my soul and tore my psyche up for over a year. (all due to Coronaphobia too.   couldn’t get an appointment for him then).  Yes, I firmly believe Kats return to us, and the 9-lives ‘myth’ doesn’t mean they get 9 chances in the same body, but they will come back 9 times before retiring across the rainbow bridge permanently.  Yes, I’m a big softee when it comes to Kats and Dawgs,,   Dawgs I haven’t figured out as well, but my pups are just as loved as my kittehs are,,,   And Voo needs a visit to the Vet too, but getting that 145# lunk into buffalo is no mean feat, and he fights like it were his last stand,,,  And I have said it before, there are Two-feets that I would rather see dead, than to see one of my four-feets in pain.   And Grizz holds a special place even higher than most, (soul mate?  or kindred spirit that orbits closely?  dunno)

Speaking of whom: He is passed out on my bed right now.   He’s definitely not feeling well: this time of day is his usual get out and mark the territory time.  Poor bugger,,,

Can’t do much till the Docs get their paws on him, just keep him comfortable and keep a close tab on him.   Kats can go into toxemia with a quickness as I have found out.  (that whole disproportionate immune response thing,,).  I start seeing signs of that and the docs get a midnight call.  (VERY expensive, but my little buddy is worth it,,,)

first of the three day weekend.  Beginning of the month so money is particularly tight, (not withstanding that times are slow at work so that makes things even tighter,,,) And I am trying to figure out where to take Lizzy so we can get some quality seat time in.  And its cold so my enthusiasm is waning,,,   LOL.  I can be a wuss when it gets cold.  Hatez the coldz,,,   Still go out in it, but getting me out in it takes more internal dialogue than normal.(read one side has to shame the other into action,,,). And of course, there is A LOT more gear involved,,  Dry top, fleece unders, pogies for the front paws on paddle, wetsuits (always a pain to don, more so if they are wet BRRRRRR,,,    and why I really want a drysuit for this time of year,,  more money, and on hold until Grizz gets taken care of,)(note, I do have a line on one that has been getting great reviews, by online sources and one or two people I know personally.   Still, money I hasn’t got at the time.  Maybe if I get a hella bonus at end of year,,,)

(S)Election time of year.   Saw a sign at the courthouse I thought apropo.  “No Electioneering!”   Damn, try a few years too late assholes!!!   And seeing how Turtleboy Mc-CON-nel is still seated in DC,,,   With his Chinese spy wife,,,   Yeah, the rumors abound on that pile of crap-tastic Poly-TICK-ian,,,   And yet, he remains in DC as a career, grifting his multiple lines of income, mucking up the system, assisting the Demon-craps.   Who needs enemies when you have treasonous pieces of shit like that ‘working for you’,,,

A-yup,,,    THAT’un!

sigh,,,,

At least Granny was a fireball looking out for her kin, not milking them for her own gain.

~~~~~~~~~

It’s flippin’ cold!!!   Only 46F, but thats cold enough in my little world these days.   Much colder and I start going into hibernation!!!  (oh, I so WISH,,,LOL).  

I needs to move SOUTH, like Brownsville SOUTH, (if it weren’t for the cartel presence there,,,,). Rather deal with blistering heat than Frostbite colds.   Have mentioned how much I hatez the cold???   

(and I know, even Tejas gets COLD,,,    at times.   Guess I need to find somewhere closer to the equator thats friendly,   ROFL,    yup, good luck with that one…)
