Update - there was a miscommunication and Sammi was booked for next Wednesday for her ultrasound. Fortunately they do have an in-house machine and one of the vets is very proficient in its use, so just waiting to hear the outcome of that.
Meanwhile took Zooks in later to see the senior vet as her ears have been rashy and he suggested (with Sammi) that it may have been gastro, and since she does like raw chicken… it’s possible. Meanwhile I have to give Zooks eardrops for a week. Wish me luck…combine the drops with an ear massage and they’ll beg for it
Good luck Ozzy. Hope they’re both okay/recover soon
I’ve always wondered about the safety of feeding cats and dogs raw meat. I guess in the wild, they’re hardly cooking it up before digging in, but it still feels like it could be a little risky
Generally they are much more resistant to any bacteria etc. than we are. It’s important to get it from a decent supplier though, cross contamination etc. are more of a risk than the meat itself.
Mr Woof gets raw meat, but Miss Meow is not allowed because she is immune deficient.
I think cross contaminating other things that may eventually come into contact with us would be the other issue. I’ve seen lots of people let dogs lick their face and such. Personally, that grosses me out, but sometimes dogs do go wild and it may be unavoidable. Although you’re probably copping a bit more than some leftover salmonella if you let your dog lick your face!
Yes, dog licks are disgusting. When I first got Mr Woof he was in the habit of trying to lick my face whenever he got a bit excited. After much coaching and my advice that “no one likes a dog that can’t hold his licker” that problem is under control and we are now a lick free household.
flirt idea: are you melbourne’s winds? because you are blowing me away
🤭💨
NSFW
Babe I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please stop blowing on my face!
Hey baby are you Melbourne’s winds? Because I want you to keep me up all night blowing and banging
This might work if there’s a high level of intoxication
Just remember to say ‘away’.
I feel like that could go wrong so easily 😅
I have shifted wake up time to 6am from 7. I enjoy the darker start to the day.
Unfurl the sails.
hoist the colours
Say what you want about those last couple of movies and Kira Knightly, but that was an incredible scene.
Roof is still on
I was convinced I was gonna walk out to find the pergola gone. It was built by an idiot before we brought the dump so its not exactly structurally sound.
I’m scared to look
Cat rambles
Melbcat got her antibiotics yesterday! Now I have to wrestle her (gently) to ensure she swallows the weird banana flavoured liquid instead of sneakily spitting it out. I am deeply unpopular for a few minutes afterwards (until it’s time to cuddle again).
If the infection reoccurs after this she may be referred to a specialist to check for underlying causes. I’m so glad I’ve maintained a bit of an emergency fund because if need be I will absolutely be getting a lift and going for it.
I’ve found an old smaller sketchbook + just a normal pencil sharpened in a standard way (both more portable) and am using it to scribble for art exercises. I’m also doing them as multiple tiny drawings on one page just so it doesn’t take forever to get the idea down, shade, draw precise lines or just finish. Also doing it while watching trashy video essays on youtube.
I really don’t have a lot of spare energy to create so trying to lose the perfectionism and just do easy structured doodles is probably the only way I could get anything done.
Ew gross sleep. Not looking forward to work
Got to my early morning grocery delivery before the birds this morning. It was out there for 15 minutes so they must have been busy
I got one of those mealy box things denigrated in the 12am-8am slot, once. It was 11:30 and still hadn’t been put on their truck, so I figured it was gonna be more of a 5/6am delivery and went to sleep. Then at 7 I woke up, and saw a text from 12:23 telling me it had been delivered 😟
Luckily the ice block kept out cool enough I wasn’t too worried, but I’m never making that mistake again!
The gel stuff they use in those deliveries stays cold for a really long time. They’re all enclosed as well so you’ll get no birds in there
Just took Sammi for her ultrasound - poor love hadn’t been herself all yesterday to the point where I phoned the vet again - they suggested admitted her overnight but there wouldn’t have been anyone there so I decided to keep her home. Wise choice - the wind woke us both up at 3 and she was straight off with the snuggles and purrs and this morning she was demanding breakfast - unfortunately I couldn’t give her it since it’s a fasting procedure.
Now having a coffee and cake in Mentone while I wait for the school traffic to clear.Sending hugs.
Aaaaand now 5 of us are sick because old mate came to work sick yesterday.
Fucks sake.
Pee in his coffee mug (don’t do that…)
Conversely…do it
Currently the scores are even 7s. Will or will not Simon siphon?
Shout out to the legend trying to intimidate me in his new Audi this morning. Bruh I’m in a shitbox hatchback missing more paint than I have emotional issues, you really think I’m scared of you hitting my car? Its 6am, windy AF and I’m doing the limit. The threat of you scratching your +100k car against my 7k (If that!) car aint the threat you think it is.
Must have been the same one riding my backside on the way home. Ugh.
Hey now, you don’t how stressful his high powered and important life is. Do you know how expensive Audis are and how much bullshit one hast to put up with to afford one??
Next time, get out of his (yeah that’s right…HIS) lane and carry on with your lowly non-Audi-owning life.
Bro is game even driving it around my suburb. I mean its not fankston, but we’ve got more commodores with exhausts cut off than we do BMWs. Dunno whos worse, the teens fanging it or the soccer mums in huge SUVs they never quite mastered.
Similar mix to my hood. Done up cars drive by either young european dudes OR european dudes my age that haven’t grown up yet. SUVs driven by people who can’t drive. Mercs, BMWs and Porsche Cayannes all over…again aggressive and clueless.
The new breed seem to the Rovers. Seeing heaps of them around for some reason.
ugh. Severely disappointed with zero co now.
oh the weather outside is frightful
I think it’s gonna get worse. I’m going out for supplies soon.
Don’t forget the biscuits
🙉
i’m going out to work in a few hours
Stay safe Bac!
There’s some lovely sun and also hectic wimd, please tell me how I should feel about this as I am confused
Surprisingly, the plants on the patio held up surprisingly well. One had been knocked out of its pot and ended up upside down (no clue where the pot is), but the rest are still there
Image ft. Plant reveal (even though like 90% of them are dead now 😔):
It’s a bit chaotic. I inherited it all from the LT that moved out a few months ago. Unfortunately I’m still trying to figure out how to keep things alive and ended up killing most of them. Gonna do a spring clean next month though
I’m pretty sure I heard some things toppling last night but I have a trajillion other priority things to do today so I’m not even going to look at anything until tomorrow tbh
I had an empty 20L bucket go missing. Bon voyage bucket. May your journey be full of wonder and adventure.
A person with the surname ‘Hands’ logged a ticket today saying ‘Could you please assist me with [blahblahblah]’ and I feel like she missed the greatest opportunity.
as someone with a semi-interesting last night? I bet you hes 100% jack of it.
As someone who copped it through school, yep, I bet.
