I just cleaned part of my study and I’d like to take out the trash.Â? The problem: we have to burn our trash and it’s just a bit unsafe to burn ANYTHING at the moment given the fire weather conditions.
(For those who are wondering, we don’t have trash pick-up here so stuff in the barrels accumulates during the summer.Â? We also don’t have recycling so we take cans and stuff to Great Falls when we remember.)
I’d like to unclutter the upstairs but it’s just not working out…
Freya has this noxious hair medicine that she has to take for a few days and I’m thankful the vet gave us a syringe so I don’t have to touch it.Â? She spit most of it up on me yesterday at the vet so I was not looking forward to today.
Well… I closed off the door to the bedroom so that I wouldn’t have to get her out from under the bed and I then got the meds into the syringe.Â? (It’s this gooey brown gel that looks like beef-flavored toothpaste.)Â? I then cornered her and wrapped her in one of the catghans that my mother-in-law has made for my brats.Â? Having just her little fanged head sticking out, I discovered that if I shot the gel onto the roof of her mouth, she’d swallow it and not ooze it out the other side.Â? It took some work (gel + syringe = hard to eject) but she got all of it in.
Now if she’ll either vomit or expel the hairballs otherwise…
