It’s been a long month and a half with our little new fur
baby Jill, and finally I think the light at the end of the tunnel is a good
thing…..and NOT the train getting ready to run me over! Adopting her spur of
the moment (ok …well kinda… spur of the moment) we have certainly had our fair
share of issues!! She has had tons of medical issues starting from day one of adoption!
I am thinking I should rename her to “Cha
–Ching” because she is costing a fortune between kennel cough, demodectic mange
(needing 3-6 treatments at $100 a dip OMG…..we are on treatment # 3), tape
worms (the most disgusting thing I have EVER seen), a UTI infection
(seriously??). And just last week I had
to take her to the Emergency Vet ~ (OH COME ON)!!! I had flash backs from being
there with Rigby…who we dubbed the “Golden Kitty” after he had to have
emergency surgery!!

| Waiting and waiting for the doc to come in |
Thankfully she didn’t need surgery or anything drastic like
that! The diagnose they came up with after me sitting there for 3 hours was
“Non Specific Gastro” so really … they had no idea what caused her to be sick
to her tummy…for $260 they could have made up a fancy name……..but they gave her
a shot to stop the vomiting, a pill to stop the runs and some fluids to replace
everything that came outta my poor girl!! She just laid all curled up in my lap ....while my leg went numb ... and growled when ever the door bell woke her!
But I have to say ….Jill woke up one
happy pup the next morning, wagging her tail and giving her morning kisses
(did I mention that both Jack and Jill are my new bunk mates~ good thing
hubster sleeps on the couch) that I would have paid twice that amount ~ but we
certainly won’t tell the vet that!!! Finally she is feeling better and she
hasn’t had any accidents in over a week!! So we won’t have to change her name
to “Piddles” either!
Now as far as mischief goes …… well ………Jack and Jill have been in full force mode on that!
The hubster told me the other morning that he had to go into
the office for a couple of hours ..……hum well that poses a problem doesn’t it?
We have 2 pups and 1 crate…. I even contemplated calling in sick (I know not
the most ethical thing to do …..but OMG leaving the fur babies unattended for 2
plus hours.. …they make horror movies outta stuff like that!!!) Prince Charming
chimed in and said he would stay home with them….. umm………almost considered that
option too! In the end I made a Redneck attempt at a barricade to get them all
blocked into the craft room ……….they had all the comforts they would need…….I
had their beds, toys, snacks, water and I even left the TV on so they would
have something to watch …….as they laid there quietly and behaved!!! Apparently
they must not have like the show I left on ……….when the hubster returned home
he started sending me pictures!!My attempt had failed…….. If it wasn’t for my little angel face Jill
caught in the act of sleeping on the couch I’d think the cats framed them ……
okay so maybe I should have called in that day ……because clearly I was
delusional thinking blocking them in would work!! 
Jack and Jill are also helping speed up the process of our
redecorating efforts……. The hubster has been looking to update our curtains for
some time now …….
Guess the kids thought that sooner would be better then
later!!! So we currently are living in a fish bowl after we had to take them down completely and all the fur babies (3
cats and the 2 pups) are really enjoying not having those pesky curtains in the
way of their view outside!!!
Oh what fun this has been............
