Mercy's Shirt

Her stitches could not get taken out because her wound is inflamed. (I told them so, so there.) Supposedly from a reaction to the sutures, but they also think she's been licking. We haven't seen her doing any licking; it must be happening at night. So we give her antibiotics now and have to put a tshirt on her, backwards, to sleep. With her tail out the head hole and her legs in the arm holes, gathered up in a bunch and pinned. We did this tonight, as far as we could figure it out from the vague instructions I was given. and after an hour long search for a safety pin, but we eventually got her shirted.

There's not a chance this will stay on not a chance. and she will most likely chew free the safety pin and swallow it, causing more grief.

I'm going to go take it back off, right now, before it's too late.

Goodness has a scratch under his eye - I just found out tonight. It's swelled up. Bob says, oh yeah - he's had it 3 or 4 days. Way to tell me, Bob.

Mercy broke her rope and jumped the (gated) deck today; met Bob in the driveway when he got home. (this is how she gets inflamed I bet - this is like pole vaulting after a hysterectomy) oh, and killed the rest of the plants on the (now) dirt covered deck, while she was at it. Oh, and it rained after that so the dirt is now mud. The only rope I have left is a big heavy chain that she drags clanking across the muddy deck, it scares her. Scares me too.

We get Alex at 10:30 tomorrow for the weekend and when Julie comes to pick him up Sunday she's leaving Shiloh here for 3 days. (!)

Mary & Eddie are in town and the cousins are supposed to meet for lunch tomorrow; heh. hahahahahaha(maniacal laughter) Bob says we must go or everyone might come over here. (!!)

The carpet is ordered and I must move the fish tank. heh. buhahahahahaha

How on earth will I get the cat to the vet and the dog to the vet and the fish to the dining room and keep Mercy shirted, while babysitting and dogsitting and going to lunch.

this is way too complicated

I told a friend of mine that you ordered burbur and he says that is bad if you have pets with claws because burbur is looped. If one claw catches one loop, it will pull it as a string and it is every other side so it would look like a zig zag on the carpet if one came out. Sort of like a run in your nylons type deal, but zig zag. Is it too late to change your order? Just brainstorming.
