Day 136

Last night I saw that Palmetto had the upper that I wanted on sale.  So this morning I ordered it.

Lucy had an appointment with the vet today.  We took her to Circle C before we went there.  We walked all around the park while she explored everything there was to explore.  I didn't run her because I didn't want to bring her to the vet all huffing and blowing.

The vet was good.  She explained that we'd be giving Lucy 2 pills a day for at least 6 months.  The pills are expensive.  A 6 month supply it a couple of hundred bucks.  And they have to be ordered from Canada.  One good thing was that Lucy weighed 57.7 pounds.  That's exactly what I want her to weigh.  The vet said not to run her, so she's not going to be eating as much as she has been.

After the vet we stopped at Arby's for lunch because it was convenient.  Then we went to Central Market and bought some shrimp for dinner.  We stopped at Tomlinson's on the way home and bought some more pill pockets.  We're going to need them.

When we got home I glued a few more parts to the train model.  I'm to the point where I can glue 2 or three parts and then I have to wait for them to dry before I can clue any more.  We also gave the cats baths.  They were getting kind of smelly.  They sure looked like unhappy punk rock cats when we were done.  It was warm, so I took some magazines out on the deck and read.

Ellen took the shrimp we bought, wrapped them in bacon, and put them on the Traeger.  The result was really, really, good.  Lucy was really acting like she wanted to play, so I got down on the floor an played with her for awhile.  She got some good arm chewing in. 

After dinner I did some more gluing and we washed the dog.
