My baby had a health crisis this weekend. Without going into disgusting detail, we'll say something ruptured on Bartle and he had to be taken to the vet for an emergency procedure. Thankfully, I have a great friend and coworker in Delia who insisted I call the vet and take care of the problem during a holiday weekend work shift. Bartle is home now, recuperating with lots of pain meds and a large cone. He's having issues with the cone and not being able to act normal, which includes the stairs. I have to carry him up and down the stairs while being mindful that he has an open wound that is healing. I felt like a proud mama this morning when he was somewhat "normal". So, that was my holiday weekend. How about yours?

You're such a mom.
Where's a photo of him with the cone? My crisis this weekend, a hornet stung me. So, everytime I go outside, something happens. I'm not leaving the house anymore.
The hornet didn't make it through the weekend.
Poor Bartles!! I agree with Kay, I want to see pics of him with the cone.
PS: check out Crystal's facebook page for pics of Gatsby covered in feathers, she got into a pillow yesterday and apparently Crystal caught her in the act.
I have to admit, I felt terrible for our cat when he had surgery to remove kidney stones, but when he came home, half doped up on some sort of kitty meds, with a silly look in his eyes, and insisted on dragging himself to every litter box in the house to leave his mark, well, it was pretty humorous.
