Wednesday in the Word + Goober Update + Holidays + Heated Hut

 

**Goober Update**

We failed the sequestering Monday night as in being woke up several times to "stuff" & "things" getting knocked over and knocked down in my office. Finally gave in around 2:30a-3am. Goob got his spot with me in bed, and we both finally slept until the CrAzY alarm went off at 5:15. Having my boy finally home & seeing the PurrKids in their nap spots makes my CatMom Happy.

I was off yesterday and spent the day on alert to the PurrBoys...BuddyBoy still isn't really happy with the way Goober smells and will sometimes do a low growl at him.

*****

Waking up with my boy sleeping in ''His'' spot on the bed was the best feeling I've had in weeks!

***** 

They'll be here before you know it...

*****

Off to my shift for the Auxiliary Gift Shop.

A quick healthy ''snack'' while waiting on Mr to get home.

I had the idea of moving the greenhouse ''hut'' moved for the outdoor PurrKids...

Though the garage clean-up/reorganizing hasn't made it to the top of the list [yet??] we move a few things and set it up. 

And, yes that's a heater for them...we used it last year before screening in the porch with success. It's on Low and we check it daily for safety. Not entirely sure they use it, hopefully they do.

*****

New Dinner recipe that was quick and easy...Rolled turkey slices with stuffing, mashed potatoes from the freezer along with a veggie pack.

*****

Wednesday in the Word Bible Study...He has answered many for me, especially this week.

*****

Home and ready to settle down - watch a bit of TV [Paramount+ of course] - then off to bed.

Be Safe, Be Blessed !

Tuesday Tidbit + my Gobber

 

FINALLY our PurrKid is home AGAIN!! He previously stayed in Vet ER for 7days with IV fluids and catharized. Brought him home with meds and special UTI food and had to be sequestered from the other PurrKids. That lasted 4 days.
Nine days ago (no I didn't post) our boy made T.H.E most God-awful cry...rushed him back to Vet ER where he was catheterized & underwent IV fluids. Xrays showing a large Crystal cluster in his bladder that developed "stones". He did pass 2 stones thank goodness. Luckily, he completed all required meds while at the vet so monitoring and sequestered for a few weeks along with special UTI diet food.

We brought him home last night.

I have The Most Amazing Vet. I will only be charged for Meds, and Procedures during Goobers ER stay the past few weeks....YES, I was ready to take out a loan for surgery. My PurrKid is HOME!

Happy Homemaker Monday 11-9-26

Hi there, Let me re-introduce myself. I'm A Runners Mom and More... it's been several weeks of ''No Show'' here in the blogging world...I've had a few rough days that ended up being turned into weeks, not so much as being too busy, though, yes I have been. But I've been worried about my Goober. It is a very long story so in a Nutshell we had to take him to the emergency vet with a UTI/bladder blockage, he stayed for 7days with IV fluids and catharized.  Brought him home with meds and special UTI food and had to be sequestered from the other PurrKids. That lasted 4 days. Just before I was going to WV we had to take him back to the emergency vet and discovered he had crystal clusters in the bladder and when they ''broke off'' it formed stones..he did pass 2 while I was gone but still had to stay put. We've finally received word we can get him later this evening. All total my Goober has been in Vet ER 'hospital' for 15 days. 

I'm going to try and get things caught up as soon as I can with blogging because there's been a Whole Lot of Stuff! For now lets link up with Sandra for Happy Homemaker Monday.
