On the weekend, Lady and Man were getting ready to do some errands. Lady had gotten the going out the greenie. She had gone briefly into the garage to put something in the garbage. She returned to the house to wait for the Man, who was apparently taking a long time. Lee waited impatiently for her greenie.
As I mentioned yesterday, my Lady was pretty sick last week, but was well enough in time to take me to the vet for my annual check up.
I cried the whole way in the car. Lady is sure Phod cried the whole time we were gone as he is not use to being alone.
I didn't have to wait long before I had to go on the scale (Lady says Lady's don't share their weight, but since I am not really a Lady, I will say, I am 40 lbs), and was taken to my room.
I had to wait in the room forever. I did not like it. But as soon as the vet came in, I went to his feet and sat. I remembered he gave me cookies.
I was very good during the exam. Dr. W checked ever inch of me because Lady noted that 4 times in the previous week, I had randomly screamed. She said it wasn't enough to go in, but since I was there . . . . . Dr. W found a slightly tender spot in my back and said I had a pinched nerve or pulled muscle. He suggested rest (which I have not being doing that well with) and monitoring. Lady hasn't noticed any yelling the past few days, so maybe I am cured.
I took my shots like a champ. While we were waiting to pay, as the tech was teaching someone new, I had to wait a long time. I kept barking at Lady to leave.
I slept all the way home.
I am not sure who was happier we were home, Phod or me!
Anyway, I am a healthy girl, whose age is starting to show.
We had a very terrible few days last week. Our Lady, whose trip to Africa was cancelled for fear she could contract Corona, went to Sault Ste Marie for 4 days for work and contracted the influenza.
She says it was the sickest she has been in years. She spent 5 days in bed.
While Phod was scared of her the first few days and kept his distance, I, Miss Hailey Bug, thought a 5 day bed nap was the best thing ever!
I slept across her legs
I did share with Phod a few times
More sleeping on her legs
I curled up beside her
I made sure the covers were just right
After 5 days, Lady started to get out of bed. After another 2 she left the house for work. She is much better now, although not 100% but is getting there.
While I am glad she is better, I am going to miss bed naps.
We are delayed in sending our heartfelt thanks to our dear pal Speedy the Bunny. We entered his annual Christmas countdown and our entry was one of his favourites. We won a prize!
From all the way from the other side of the pond we got this!
We have been working very hard (especially Hailey) to make sure those tree rats get the fate they deserve!
