My handsome boyfriend, Scar.

My handsome boyfriend, Scar. I'm up waiting for Adrian to pee (so I can try to collect it for the vet) and he's trying to lure me into cuddling by being too damn cute.

Hiding Harley.

Hiding Harley.

That was his origin story and I swear it's the story of his life. If he can get into/under/behind something, he will. 😂

I know y'all missed his face. 😂😂😂

Today we took Scar and Adrian to the vet.

Scar's bones felt ok to the doctor - just possibly a bit arthritic. If he's injured, we believe it's in the soft tissue. So he's on an anti-inflammatory/pain med and will be starting on Glucosamine. If he's not feeling better in a week, we'll do x-rays.

Adrian didn't have any bladder stones, thank goodness. But she didn't have any urine for the vet. I've gotta try to catch some for her. I think I can do it, since she meows every time she goes in the box.

Tomorrow, Tobi gets his stitches out and so does Cub (at least some of them, I hope). Cub has one incision that I'm sure is ok; we just don't like the way it looks. Tobi has been doing great. He purrs a lot more and seems more energetic.

Speaking of energetic... The doctor asked how Bear was and I told her he was doing great and running all over the place. She said there is limited life in his knees, and Shaun said "He's not much for planning." 😂😂😂

I know I don't have it in me to limit his activity when he's feeling so well, not to mention he'd be so hard to handle if we did. He's got so many problems that I truly feel like he's here for a good time, not for a long time. 😅 It's a bummer, but I want him to live his best life. Poor guy has been through so much already. He's not even 2 years old yet.

Anyway. Hopefully, tomorrow's vet news is ok, too.

The drugs hit and...

The drugs hit and this is how he spent most of his day - THANK GOODNESS.

Bear is outside "helping" Shaun plant the last few cacti. Bear needs his outside zoomie time so he can be some semblance of chill when he comes back in. 😂

Cub is currently curled up and snoozing next to me.

I haven't decided yet if I'm doing more housework this evening. For now, though, I'm cuddling this dog. ❤️

Cub did great last week about resting, but...

Cub did great last week about resting, but since he finished his pain meds and antibiotics, he's trying to act normal. One of his pain meds was Gabapentin. We just drugged him with some of Bear's leftovers.

He popped a stitch due to playing with Bear. Keeping them apart 24/7 is nearly impossible. I think the best were gonna get is keeping Cub too sleepy to play. I feel like that's gonna be easier on all of us.

I slept better last night.

I slept better last night. I got up early and had the x-rays my doctor ordered done. Work was fine. When I got off work, I had energy to clean, so I did. I cleaned the kitchen table and counters, swept the sunroom and kitchen floors, then vacuumed the rest of downstairs and FINALLY started shampooing the carpet. I didn't get super far with the shampooing, but I hope I'm up for working on it after work for a few more days. That, and mopping the kitchen floor would make me pretty happy.

While I did all of that, Shaun worked in the yard planting our Teddy Bear Cholla. We bought another one over the weekend, and he planted all 3 today. We just have a few more cacti to get in the ground and we should be done with that one area.

I've got my DEXA scan and titty-squishin' scheduled for the 15th. I'm not super excited about the mammogram, but I guess better safe than sorry.

All in all, it was a productive day. My first (outside of work) in a while. I don't function well when the house is cluttered and a certain level of clean isn't maintained. Me and Shaun have just been too worn out to keep up lately, but hopefully that will change soon. There are no more big projects aside from building the greenhouse, but we have time. As long as we get it done before it's cold out, that's fine.

Now if these animals could just be ok for a bit...

Anyway. I'm crashing out. I know I have unread messages and I apologize. I will get to them soon.

Goodnight, friends. ❤️

I think he's having a bad dream. ☹️

I think he's having a bad dream. ☹️ He's doing little woofs and his hackles are up. I've never seen hackles up in their sleep.

Shaun comforted him and he's ok now.

We're washing the usual couch covers because of his leaking wounds, so that's why the couch looks different if you noticed.
