Breakout!!

Harry decided he'd had enough of being in sick bay today!

We went to the vets earlier where he had 2 more injections that cost about seventy million more pounds and then we came home for a sleep!


After a trip to the supermarket (me, not Harry) and a flump round sick bay (Harry, not me) he decided to throw himself over the wall in a bid for freedom! After a roly poly to right himself he set off at speed to hide under the sofa cushion!




He still has a lolopy sideways gait but his limbs work and his appetite hasn't diminished a jot???!! The vet said today that he may not recover and may always be a bit tilted (it's called torticullis) and could be an ear infection or meningitis?? He has ruled out a tumour cos it came on so suddenly!



We now begin the game of trying to give him his medicine via oral syringe. This was really hard when he had his abscess, but he is much less wriggly at the moment so I am hoping for a better result! If not I will have to hide it in his food again.

He seems ok in himself, just a bit bewildered and frustrated that he can't climb things or turn round without rolling over. Wills is missing him loads but when I let them snuggle last night he got a bit too excited and I had to pull him away before he hurt Harry! I hope he recovers fully otherwise I will have to consider how to modernise the palace for a disabled ratty who lives with a mini cyclone for a chum??

Oh the worry that we moms have to endure?

Harry update

Thanks for all your lovely messages. We have been back to the vet today for another round of injections and have to return tomorrow for more. Harry is ok-ish, subdued and still lilting to one side, but he's still here for now. It's really going to be a case of wait and see.
I spent last night asleep (not much) on the sofa next to sick bay, and listened to wills tearing round the palace looking for his chum. It's all very sad here!


Sick bay!


Poorly me! :(

Bad to worse?

Is that really possible?

Not sure my year can get any worse than it has been already?

Came home from work early today, Harry heard me and poked his nose out from the snuggle tunnel and fell over. Then he limped, sidewaysy and sort flumped downstairs and curled up in the dog bed.
Something not right here?
He looked like he'd had a stroke or something, all leaning to one side!
One tearful rush off to the vets later and we are now back at home pumped full of antibiotics with a very poorly Harry in sick bay!

Not sure what it is, ear infection? weird ratty brain thing? some long word beginning with m that I don't even remember what the vet said?
We have to go back tomorrow for more drugs and although the vet said leave him alone I have him snuggled next to me on constant watch!
The next 24 hours are crucial!
No work for me tomorrow!
Pray for him please, I couldn't bear to lose him.

Nesting

How cute is this? I bought a little decoration for the ratty palace and I think it is so sweet!

After three hours sleep due to finishing late last night I actually managed to start and finish during daylight hours today?? Unheard of for me at the mo, but I think tea, a quick catch up from last nights Glee then off to Bedfordshire for me!

Busy doing nothing......!


That's how I have mainly spent my weekend!

I had some good intentions to do all sorts of things.
I managed to go for my fabulous float session yesterday and walking home felt all rejuvenated and inspired, but somehow I managed to lose several hours on the interweb and then after some more grief from the ex (yes - three months on he is still hassling me?? ) kinda lost the will to do anything!!!

I spent three hours on the phone to Grannywen putting our worlds to right, well mainly the worlds of our SuperPoke Pets actually (- our new addiction), but also explaining my recent trip to Sadsville and associated lack of communication with her!!

Today I spent another hour feeding squiggles on the patio ( see I really do live the hi-life!!) trying to get todays photo for my 365 App, but also managed to squeeze this little LO using my Jan Scrapagogo kit!

I thought too I would share a pic or two of the palace - a very poor pic actually, but it shows the steps that little Wills was scared of the other day and the new green dog bed that arrived this week. There is another floor but the photos of that came out even worse so have deleted them!! If you look closely you will see the blur that is Harry coming over to see what I am doing and if you look really closely in the corn tunnel upstairs there is a white fuzzy ball that is Wills hiding eating a carrot biscuit!!

Hope you have had a good weekend, am back off into the Zone!

This time I know it's for real!


It really is the weekend!

Thanks for all your crossed fingers last week - they kinda worked and the weekend wasn't too bad but boy did it make up for it this week!!!
I went to work very early every day but only just managed to make it home on the same day every day!!!
Oh well, at least there is no-one moaning at me about it anymore and H and W are thrilled to see me whatever time of day or night!!!

But I am pooped!

I have been off today and slept most of it!!
Then a little potter about, and a spring clean of the ratties habitat. They have (another) new bed which is like a mini dog bed but unlike the one I bought them in Dec they can both fit in it and snuggle together! It seems to be very popular!
Boy - don't I just live the hi-life?

No scrapping yet, but as the lady whose CJ this is has sadly got to drop out of the group I can reveal the mini pages I made for her book. The title was Summer Days, and the ladies before me had documented their favourite destinations, mine is anywhere as long as its sunny and I can take the roof off my little car!!!
Am off to bed soon, tomorrow I think I will go for a float and then get my rejuvenated mojo into the Zone!
