9:58 am

Scrabbler

Hi Hurshy

9:58 am

hurshy

hi scrabs, how's life treating you

9:59 am

Scrabbler

My little guest rabbit needed to see the vet yesterday for 2 problems. He has a cataract and glaucoma and a mite infestation. Meds have been started.

9:59 am

BzznBea

poor guy

10:00 am

Scrabbler

He was a bit overlooked with 4 kids, a dog, and cat in the home.

10:01 am

Scrabbler

He has stayed with me many times in the past when the family leaves town. He stays in a separate room from my bunnies.

10:01 am

hurshy

geesh

10:02 am

Scrabbler

I am obsessive with the health of my rabbits so as soon as I saw him a few days ago I knew he needed to see a rabbit vet.

10:03 am

hurshy

people shouldn't have so many dependents if they can't care for them all

10:03 am

Scrabbler

Agreed.

10:03 am

72 Temple Owl

hello scrabbler.

10:04 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl.

10:04 am

mael

hi everyone

10:04 am

Scrabbler

Buon giorno

10:04 am

mael

speaking of vets, I need to take one of my chickens in on monday, she might have bumblefoot

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Bumblefoot?

10:05 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my that sounds painful

10:05 am

mael

it's inflammation in the foot, due to infection or injury

10:05 am

mael

we've been soaking it but she's still limping, poor girl

10:05 am

hurshy

what kind of vet is that? the kind that sees cats and dogs or the kind that sees cows and horses and other farm animals?

10:05 am

mael

though I'd limp too if I had to be in all this damp New England weather these days...

10:06 am

72 Temple Owl

i have to go. happy babbling, all

10:06 am

Scrabbler

Bye Owl

10:06 am

mael

this vet does both, we were lucky to find someone who looks at chickens! our cats go to a cat specific vet and our neighbor is a big animal vet so he could give us a rec

10:07 am

Scrabbler

Great.

10:07 am

mael

luckily we live in rural suburbia so there's both kinds around

10:07 am

hurshy

cool

10:08 am

Scrabbler

Years ago I dated a large animal vet and we would trade on call stories from living out here in farm country.

10:08 am

hurshy

remember any good ones?

10:08 am

mael

I read so much James Herriot as a kid that I love any big animal vet on principle

10:10 am

Scrabbler

He did a C-section on a cow in a barn.

10:10 am

hurshy

wow, not exactly the sterile environment one prefers for surgery, eh?

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Large animal vets have a truck filled with equipment and travel to farms--cows, horses, sheep, goats, pigs. Obstetric emergencies, GI obstructions, skin infections, etc.

10:13 am

hurshy

for a while i used a vet who did home visits for cats and dogs. she was so elderly, i was always worried she was going to fall on the steps up to my front door. she was much stronger and tougher than she looked i guess, because she would go sailing and do all these other things, but it was still nervewracking watching her on the steps!

10:15 am

Scrabbler

Good for her.

10:15 am

Scrabbler

merl

10:16 am

Scrabbler

Free clue. YW.

10:16 am

rururocks

haggard

10:16 am

hurshy

i wanted the home visits because my Marty was so badly behaved at the vet, i hoped he might at least be a little better if it was at home instead. it was weird because other than the vet he was the tamest, sweetest love of a cat!

10:16 am

rururocks

(covering for scrabs)

10:16 am

Scrabbler

Hello over there, ruru.

10:16 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

10:18 am

hurshy

i remember once driving home from the regular vet and giving him a stern lecture in the car. "i can't believe how naughty you were! what kind of a momma are they going to think i am, raising you to behave like that?!" and he hung his little head in shame

10:19 am

rururocks

you hurt his felines?

10:19 am

hurshy

lol

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Shaming cats, haha.

10:20 am

hurshy

it doesn't work on all of them

10:20 am

hurshy

Opie is the king of everything, so he feels he should be able to do whatever he wants at any time. therefore there is never any reason for shame, no matter what anyone else may think.

10:22 am

Scrabbler

Is he narcissistic overall?

10:23 am

mael

I have to drug one of my cats to bring her to the vet

10:23 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no. Poor kitty.

10:23 am

hurshy

pretty much, yeah. but he doesn't mind the vet, he loves people in general. it's too bad i don't have more people in my life who would come by and pet him. he has a strong need for petting.

10:24 am

mael

not her fault, she used to be fine with it until she got an infection and had to have her anal glands expressed and she has never forgiven anyone related to the veterinary profession

10:24 am

Scrabbler

If I were nearby I would be on your list.

10:24 am

BzznBea

maybe you could hire a pet petter

10:24 am

hurshy

aww, poor baby

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Aw, mael.

10:25 am

hurshy

and as the king he does also have a sense of noblesse oblige. he generates hope inside his little body and radiates it out through his golden fur so that anyone who needs some may have some.

10:25 am

mael

she's all hiss and no bite but she gets SO stressed out that we just give her gabapentin before hand

10:25 am

rururocks

glad I don't have anal glands whew

10:25 am

rururocks

I'd be cranky too

10:26 am

mael

I hear ya ru, I don't blame her one bit

10:26 am

cybernan

good morning everyone - 16 croissants just out of the oven -- anyone want breakfast?

10:26 am

mael

oh man, nan! that sounds AMAZING

10:26 am

hurshy

dang, that sounds good

10:28 am

hurshy

i would imagine there are not many people in the world who could say no to a fresh-baked croissant

10:29 am

cybernan

and the house smells so good :)

10:29 am

hurshy

celiac patients, of course. maybe some highly trained monks.

10:29 am

rururocks

not me.. love croissants

10:29 am

BzznBea

i was going to say carla would say no

10:31 am

hurshy

running out of ideas to try for that lower S

10:32 am

cybernan

struggling to find something for that middle e in the 2nd column

10:32 am

hurshy

i think that's ... oh it's the ed5

10:32 am

cybernan

10:32 am

hurshy

or do you mean 2nd row, that one is et6

10:33 am

hurshy

10:33 am

cybernan

2nd column

10:33 am

cybernan

can't be ed - no d next to the e

10:33 am

cybernan

could be the et though

10:33 am

hurshy

i know, but when you first said middle i took that as "middle row" before realizing you prob meant the one in the 2nd col AND 2nd row

10:34 am

BzznBea

do you have the 3 sm's

10:34 am

hurshy

no, i couldn't find SM, kept thinking "smear" and that was it

10:34 am

hurshy
