I am in violation.
Of my vacation! Lol.
I couldn't turn down five spots the clinic offered me for today, when there are so many cats needing fixed. Don't get me wrong, I have no other spay neuter spots in the near future. If some are handed to me on a platter, I am unable to say no.
The Harrisburg vet student caught another boy who badly needs fixed. He's been fighting all over the park where she lives and is in rough shape, so good catch there. She's also getting the torti she caught last time, who is terrified of all the other cats and of being outside, into Safehaven in a few weeks. She was either left behind or a dump. Thank goodness that vet student caught her and is helping her out of the horror she's been put through and I hope she ends up with decent humans this time around.
I went to the House of Cats. Pretty tumultuous there, with the woman just having had knee replacement a week ago, then her husband hurting his back trying to get her off the floor when she fell. But got it managed. I really couldn't believe how well a person who just had a knee replaced was getting around.
Caught two cats with the drop trap and another with a live trap and one kitten with a trap and the husband wrangled another into a carrier through trickery. Just a couple boys left there needing fixed now, and there are probably a couple siblings of the kitten I caught. Silverton Cat Rescue took her this morning. She's only about six weeks of age, perfect age to tame fast. I held her last night when I got home (of course I couldn't help myself) and she was already deciding tame house cat life might beat life under a house big time.
Here are the four adults from House of Cats up being fixed today.
Mamika, who is the mom of the little girl kitten I caught. Probably at least two more kittens of hers need caught. |
Cutie Pie, quite wild, probably another girl |
Hunter, a boy |
Prince, a boy too |
I got my dryer part yesterday. I was just going to wait until my fix lever breaks free of the glue, and it will eventually, then I decided, nope, I better put in that new part, to be sure it works.
Yesterday was such a beautiful day, just over 70 degrees, sunshine, for a change. It was supposed to be at least mid 70's today but instead its starting out very cloudy.
Slinko is completely back to normal, back to eating mostly dry food because he likes it better and I'm really really pleased and happy he's finally doing so well and out of pain.
I've already gotten a couple of summer list projects done, so taking a break from projects for an evening, to catch four adults and a kitten, was just fine. I'll write myself a ticket for violation of vacation so I'm not too tempted to pull the stunt again.
I am not surprised at your holiday violation - and feel sure that you will fall again. Please only take on the 'easy' jobs though. Please pretty please.
ReplyDeleteIt's your vacation, so you get to make the rules about what you do and don't do :-)
ReplyDeleteVery true, thank you!
DeleteThe kitten looks so cute, as kittens do. There are some funny eye photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to like about a kitten. And they're so fun!
DeleteJust take another week at the end there. Pretend you meant to start your vacation late ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd yay on the dryer. You'll have to tell us if everything's working okay.
ha! I'll do that. Maybe another two weeks. I haven't put the new part in yet, was too busy today.
DeleteOld habits die hard. How's your raft? Is the reservoir filled yet?
ReplyDeleteReservoir full! We've had enough rain to fill two or three more reservoirs I'd think. April we broke all records, most recorded rainfall ever, in April. May we broke through the top ten rainfall records. So far we haven't had too many even sunny days, but hopefully soon. My raft needs some patchwork and a valve replaced, that is hard to find. My kayak is fine shape though.
DeleteDespite the ongoing issue of terrible people mistreating/dumping kitties, this is a lot of good news. Take care my dear.
ReplyDelete~hugs~
Sorry I've been neglectful. ~shakes head~ I've enjoyed gardening these days - a lot.
~grin~
Oh, and that funky limb you appreciate is from my Harry Lauder's walking stick. Since Japanese beetles basically killed it in 2019, it's now a 'dying' sculpture that neighbors seem to appreciate. :D
