Other news...
Work the last two weeks has been interesting, mostly because there has been twice as much of it! I worked my normal Sundays, but also on the 10th from 6-12 for Jennifer, and on the 14th for Angela.
Last Sunday, a Shih Tzu came in grossly pregnant and in labor. She hadn't had any puppies and Dr. Sarpong wanted to do a C-section but the clients didn't have the money. This might be a good time to mention they 1) didn't know she was pregnant, despite her looking as Dr Sarpong put it "like a tick", and 2) they didn't know how their unspayed female could have become pregnant. So Dr Sarpong gave her a shot to induce and said if she hadn't had a puppy in an hour to bring her back. The next day was the Monday I worked for Angela, and the dog came back in. Still no puppies. Her belly was huge, with big blue veins running all over it. There was no choice to do a C-section (well, euthanasia was an option since they still had no money, but Sarpong wasn't going to do that). We figured all the puppies were dead and were just trying to save mom. But we were quite surprised when two of the six puppies were alive! Unfortunately, the people weren't really thrilled that the puppies made it, and the mom died a few hours after surgery. It's really hard to raise puppies when you know what they are doing, and everyone guessed that those puppies weren't going to make it in their indifferent daddies' care. It sucked.
Piper gets spayed on Wednesday and I'm going to watch. The poor thing - she's always tolerated the vet's office really well so far, but this might be the end of that.
Mom has the bridesmaid dress situation completely under control. The skirts are made for everyone, although unhemmed and unaltered. Red silk fabric pieces are everywhere!
To make up for not posting much, I will try to compensate with pictures!
So I'd randomly put a bandana around Murph's neck that day and he'd allowed it to stay on (which is unlike him). But during his nap, it worked its way completely on its own to sitting on top of his head like a wreath. The pic doesn't show Piper napping a foot away from him. :)
I see this view a lot. Gotta love the life of a cat.
Awwww, animal nap time!
She won't be able to fit under there much longer. Now she sits on the desk and bites my typing fingers.
I knew she and Murphy were kindred spirits!
She really likes this stool.
(FYI: The wedding is less than four months away!)
