You know when you’re a lady who single-handedly runs a fucking funny farm full of animals inside of her own mini manse that inevitably, someone is going to get sick…and then they all get sick. Because when everyone eats, drinks and shits in the same places it’s germ swapping mania.
Trough of pussies.
So we spent the better half of our weekend at the vet. Why you ask? Because everyone in the goddamned house had worms. FUCKING WORMS. All from our little chug who brought in fleas, which I thought I’d gotten rid of after a dip in the tub and a bomb of the mini manse but apparently, one of the felines got one in their belly and fleas turn in to worms.
Dip Baby Dip.
You know what’s fun when you have four cats and a dog? Prepping to take stool samples for the vet to examine, Ted’s meds for refills and new pussy paperwork on the three February family additions (yes, I’m my veterinarian’s dream come true).
Just another day in my fabulous life.
We loaded up (after a 43 minute mad dash for the baby, Elsa Pants, under beds, on the porch, in a kitchen cabinet – although I can’t blame her because she was getting to ride in a box) and were on our way. The two older cats got to stay back and receive topical treatment when I got home – which didn’t go over well with the three in my petmobile.
Never a dull moment.
When we finally got to the vet, I realized that my Louis Vuitton (my sixth baby), literally had shit in it because that’s where this blonde thought it was a good place to house the Ziplocs of feces when rounding the fur balls up.
Loaded Louis.
Patient patients.
Sweet Elsa Pants had no choice but to be patient in her box because she might as well be a greased pig running down a high school hallway during a Senior prank when out and about.
We have a runner.
Ted and Elsa took their topical worm treatments like pros. Precious on the other hand, ate her way through 18 pill pockets and STILL didn’t get the pill down.
Do your dogs do this?
After five attempts with a pill popper, the vet techs (yes, plural) were successful but someone wasn’t thrilled.
The winning weekend news though was that Teddy gained a pound since February (which is fab, since he lost half his body weight last year due to illness).
Bad news is Precious also gained a pound since February.
The worst news is that yours truly has gained 15 pounds in the same time frame.
Trifecta of emotional eaters.
Better news is that my pharmacist still knows how bananas I am over my pussies since I get to renew pet prescriptions at Walgreens.
Best news is that Elsa Pants forgave quickly.
While I was very busy running around after fur balls and excavating worms, my Iowa twins were all gussied up at their first go ’round as wedding participants.
Flower girl and ring runner.
You know they were highly rewarded for their fabulous efforts..
Turns out, someone takes a little too much after Auntie CBXB in the party department.
Sleeping beauty had one too many slices of cake.
Sunday was spent with Dada CBXB doing what we do best in celebration of Father’s Day.
Day drink!
Here’s hoping your week is off to a worm free, winning start.
Cheers!
