in the news

Zelda was out sick most of the week with a fever and fatigue.
One of her coworkers brought a bug to work and it caught on...

The coworker is one of those personalities you come in contact with in life but would rather not.

Z has been working since June for the landscape company that offices in my company's lease.
She has more interaction from the folks from my office than she does from her coworkers.

She's already ready for a change.

Of work that is.

We planned to head down this weekend to a alternative energy conference in Fredericksburg.
http://www.fredericksburg-texas.com/
It is an annual thing.
(and for those who have read my blog, we won't be staying in a Frederick'sburg B&B)

Mom and Dad were interested in joining us as well.

Last night we noticed Gaea had something wrong with her little toe on her hind leg.

After an exhausting day at the vet, she came home tired, in pain, and with a dirty butt.
(She's a long hair).
We have been cleaning the floors and trying to help her clean herself.
But she's a cranky cat.

And she's had an exhausting day at the vet.

Her kitty disposition is such that we have to warn the V. E. T. (Z always spells it out so Gaea won't catch on) that she is almost as bad as the worst cat they ever had, Domino.

Some kitties just don't like the V.E.T...

So...some $500.00 or so later, she may have a spider bite,
an infection,
or, most likely,

kitty cancer.

We should get the tests back early next week.

It's possible they can remove the toe(s), the foot, or the leg and catch it in time.

We picked up a kitty insurance brosure when we took Snoopy in for his check up a couple of months back. But we never got around to filling it out.

At least Snoops and Milo will be insured...

So Mama is worried.

Our weekend plans revised.

And we are hoping for the best...
