I wish I felt as excited about today...

I wish I felt as excited about today now as I did yesterday. LOL But mostly all I feel is sleepy. 🙁

I've been up since 5:45 am which is just insanity. Usually I wouldn't even bother going to sleep if I had to get up that early, but I did because I have a late class today that's far away from home tonight. I'm gonna be tired enough trying to drive that with sleep - much less without.

I got up so crazy early to take the rest of the foster kittens to meet the spay / neuter transport. My favorite little baby had to go this time and that makes me sad. She's so small and sweet and I just wish I never had to put them through this, but it is the responsible thing to do and so it is being done. It was INSANELY COLD this morning and it sucked a lot.

Heading to my first biology class soon. After that - work until I leave for Trig in Gadsden. Since it's the first day of both they might let out early. In the case of Biology it will just mean I get to work sooner. If Trig gets out early I might see my kid tonight.

Anyway. Time to get this day started. At least I'll be so busy that I won't have time to worry over the kittens all day. Yay Monday! 😕

I'm so excited...

I'm so excited that classes are starting tomorrow. I'm REALLY pumped about Trig. 😃 Nervous about biology - I haven't had that in over 15 years. Happy about History - I got Mr. Hamilton again. 😃

Yay for leveling up my life! 😃

Well Storm is smarter than we gave him credit for...

Well Storm is smarter than we gave him credit for. He wouldn't take his tranq pill last night. Spit it out of ham, cheese, peanut butter - he'd eat everything right out from around it. Since he's settling in we thought we'd just try distraction and shooting his meds in with the syringe again. It actually went ok, which is fine by me. The vet didn't really want him on those pills for 10 days straight and I feel bad for him when he's spaced out. He wobbles and trips. I know it can't be pleasant.

On the bright side: One ear definitely looks better to me. The other not so much, but we're keeping at it.

Also, last night, he noticed the cats in the other room. He walked through them to get where he stays, but I think last night was the first time he'd noticed them running around and playing. He barked about it! LOL I let him out of his crate and he ran to the door and stood up still as a statue and just watched. It was adorable. 🙂

He's being so good so far that I haven't been too worried about how things are going. As long as things stay like this I'm not too concerned about him being here when school starts on Monday. 🙂

So glad that tomorrow is Friday...

So glad that tomorrow is Friday. This week has worn me out. And my bones are hurting so that makes everything better. /sarcasm

Better News: We gave Storm his tranq pill for his ear meds, but we didn't have to muzzle him. He's getting too smart when he sees that coming and we don't want to freak him out or lose trust by restraining him to muzzle him. Someone at the shelter suggested squirting his meds in with a syringe so we tried that and it went much better. 🙂

He even went outside on his own through the doggie door this morning. He's a smart cookie and a really good boy. I'm glad he's doing so well. ❤

I let Storm out to potty this morning.

I let Storm out to potty this morning. He normally runs to the doggie door after I open his crate, but I have to push it a little for him to go out.

I just went to let him back in and he was already in the house waiting in his crate. He came in all by himself! And then got in his crate!

Silly boy! I was giving him time so he could have some fresh air and stretch his legs. I guess he's not going to play on his own. We'll have to teach him what play time is next. 🙂

I called Storm's vet about getting more tranquilizer...

I called Storm's vet about getting more tranquilizer and they told me to try to medicate his ears without it and let them know how it goes since it's not good to keep him on meds that make him loopy.

Well... he wasn't into it and we couldn't even get his muzzle on him. 😕 He's smart and quick and he's like "Nope." So I'll let them know tomorrow.

On the bright side, he looks a lot happier. He's very bouncy. LOL And he still likes to snuggle into you so that's pretty sweet. 😊 I'm seeing that nub wiggle more and more. It just makes my day! 😀
