What a day. 😳
Got up this morning and Shadow was sick. Well, he coughed and blew his nose all night last night so it's not like that was a huge surprise. OTC meds weren't helping so mom took him to the doctor for me. Thanks, Mom! He's got a pretty bad sinus infection. I'm prone to them so I know how much they suck. I hope he feels better soon.
After mom picked up Shadow I dropped off my Nappy Tasha at Shelby's for a haircut. I knew she was a mess. It's gonna take another session with Shelby before I get a Naked Tasha back. That's ok. I just want my baby to be comfortable. 🙂 Less smelly is good, too. 😛
I was late for work even though I got up fairly early. I don't know how it happened, but it did. I feel like I'm moving in slow motion all the time lately. 🙁
Since Shadow was in Munford with my mom I went there after work to get him. Then I went to Shelby's for Nappy. That put me getting home a good bit later than usual. Most of the time that's not a problem. But... today it was. For Win. 🙁
He pooped all in his crate. Anyone ever dealt with a wormy dog's shit? Not fun. He also peed out of it. Had I not had him covered with a blanket, he would have made an even bigger mess in the floor. He barely missed my couch and peed on a few things that I would have preferred not get peed on. 😐
Note to self: Leave nothing near a dog crate. 😳 I knew not to leave anything close enough that they could pull it through the bars, but I never thought about them peeing out. Lesson learned.
I don't blame him. If he can't hold it - he can't hold it. I just wasn't thinking he was much of an issue Mr. "I'm not coming out of my crate for 24 hours and just watch me hold it for that long." I'm guessing that what changed there is that he's eating now. I bet he wasn't eating much in the shelter and now he's calm enough to eat so he's making more poop. Message received.
Still waiting to hear back from the rescue about getting him vetted. If I don't hear back I'm taking him Friday no matter what. They can just pay me back. He needs to be seen about and Saturdays are just too busy and crowded. It's time to do this!
Anyway, I'm gonna eat some pizza rolls (love me some pizza rolls lately!) and then feed the babies. Gonna medicate Dumplin', too. He's still got diarrhea like WHOA. Thankfully, my baby opossums are doing great and Little Mama and her batch seem to be doing well. This morning one of the babies climbed down to the bottom floor of the cage, stuck his face in the water dish, sneezed, walked around a little more, and then climbed back up to mama. I had no idea they were so independent and mobile at such a young age. They are crazy neat. 🙂
