Thursday # 92- Back To The Beach.

:( I'm upset guys... I'll take anything ya got but mostly a shoulder to cry on.

My mom has to go to the doctor (we were trying to convince her to go to the emergency room) because of K'Cee.

Sid got out of his "quarantine" room and had his first run in w/ K'Cee. K'Cee was upset -hissing, spitting, growling- the nosey dog went over and dumbly got between them. K'Cee is known for batting at the dog and Mom went to grab her (K'Cee). K'Cee freaked and went wild.

I didn't actually see this. I had gone out to dinner with my cousin (she had her dalmation of 10yrs pts yesterday) and we got a call on my cell; it was Dad they needed us home ASAP as they couldn't get K'Cee under control and my cousin's a nurse (well, used to be).

Mom's wrist had a knot the size of a golfball and was spurting blood. K'Cee bit into her vein. Eventually the swelling went down some. The knot's gone this morning but the swelling has gone down further into the arm. :( She's going to call her doctor as soon as they're open.

K'Cee's NEVER acted like this! :(
She she's never scratched anyone intentionally (playing sometimes) and she's never broken the skin by biting. I don't know what got into her. I can even bathe her without problems. (And last night, she let me handle her just fine.)

I want my mom to go to the Dr. (actually, I wanted her to go to the emergency room) but at the same time, I don't want my cat to go to pound's quarantine for attacking anyone. :( :(

Sorry, didn't mean to bring the party down, just looking for an ear. :(

Onion rings, hot dogs, marshmallows, campfire biscuits, black forest gateau ..... I'm trying to loose weight here people!! All I need now is Lynne with her black pudding!

Laurie, what IS that you are carrying?

Zip, remember what Catcrazylady went through with Magoo? Tell your Mom to get to the ER now, especially if the redness is spreading down her arm. Has she had a tetanus shot? If not, she will need one right away.

{{{HUGS}}} to all of you, including bratkat. She was obviously very upset by the meeting. It's going to be a very long introduction period. Maybe they will never like each other but I'm sure in time they will at least tolerate one another.

Well KK, it WAS a big black skillet for the bisquits but I handed it over to my sous chef while I grab a soft pillow for Zippy. There there my friend... this too shall pass. Big squeez and warm hugs to you this morning

Good luck to Zippy's mum! That arm needs attention. How is K'Cee now?

Slick, you missed your haggis, neeps and tatties? That's terrible! Why don't I bring some along for lunch? Just the thing after a morning of black forest gateau!

Zippy, sorry to hear about all that. You mom does need to seek medical attention right away, though. I can understand about your cat, too. I would die if something like that happened with me. I hope it all turns out alright. Now, I'll take one of those fresh bisquits. They sure smell good. And, nothing like coffee cooked over a campfire.

You had a bad night too Zippy. Tell your mom not to let anyone stitch the hole. It just needs to drain and she'll need meds.

I'm gonna need something strong this morning. Last night I almost had a disaster on my hands. I have 3 Pits (2girls Ginger & Gravity and 1 boy Hydro). Ginger and Hydro stay in my room with me and Gravity stays in her own room because she doesn't get along with Ginger. When I let Gravity and her potty buddy outside I had to clean up some vomit in their room and I left the window wide open to let the room air out. I brought them back to their room to eat dinner and let Ginger and Hydro outside. A few minutes later I let Ginger and Hydro back in and here comes Gravity too. As they run into the living room we can see a fight about to happen and just as we grab the girls, they grab each other :eek: We get them apart, but then Hydro comes charging at Gravity and she slips out of her collar. So here I am in the kitchen holding Gravity by the leg and Hydro by the collar trying to keep these two apart while my mom gets Ginger out of the house. I had forgotten to close the window in Gravity's room :o Try explaing that one to the Animal ER in the middle of the night.

Mmmm, I could smell those bisquits clear out here in CA. so forgive me while I wipe the sleepies out of my eyes and go look for some honey to put on the bisquits.

Having pets is sometimes like having small children who squabble. The only difference is our critters can't talk, so they use claws and teeth.

Please keep us posted on how your Mom is doing, Zip. This must have been very upsetting for everyone.

Well, by the looks of that bottle of Malibu rum - I don't think I even made it to the beach.

Oh no, Zippy! I'm so sorry to hear that K'Cee freaked like that! I know you know this, but your mom really needs to get to the doctor and get started on the antibiotics ASAP. I don't think you'd have to worry about K'Cee ending up in the pound. I'm sure your family loves her dearly and will be willing to forgive this one unforeseen "event" (for lack of a better word), and I'm sure animal control - if notified - will defer to the family and to the fact that she has never freaked like this before, especially now that you know she's capable of it, you will be much more aware of her actions and take preventative measures ahead of time. Sounds like it was just too much all at once for K'Cee. {{{hugs}}} and calming pets for K'Cee.

'Morning everbody! I missed the beach trip - waaahhh....

Mmmm....camp coffee...we went on a week long rafting trip in Idaho a few years ago. You know, the type where you raft all day and sleep in a tent all night? We had a blast, but I will never forget the coffee we had every morning. Honest to goodness camp coffee....and I'm not even a coffee drinker!

Camp coffee and biscuits, eaten on the beach as the sun rises - how much closer to heaven can you get?

Hmm...what...oh, the phone is ringing? You mean I'm at work at not on the beach - DRAT!

T&P, I'm at work too but I'm in really big denial about it. But, after today, I'm off and heading to Maryland on Saturday where I hope to see snow! I am looking forward to it so much. Also looking forward to shopping at Kohls. We don't have them down here yet but rumor has it there's one being built near me. I can't wait! It's also going to be near a Target so I'll be having lots of retail therapy. Now all we need is a Starbucks to complete the shopping experience.

Where in MD Val? Anywhere close to DC? Cheryl (EmilyTheSpoiled) and I meet downtown for lunch every so often. I'll p.m. you. Glad everyone likes the biscuits.. campfire food just tastes better no matter what you're cooking I think :cool:

Good morning man those bisqicts smell so good. I have some huckleberry honey from Montana here. UMMMMMMMM
zippy prayers and hugs. Also for you Pit chick. Do we need a corner for these kids for time outs?

Slick, any uppydate?

Just going into a meeting Debbie. I'll email you in a while.

Does time out work for "kids" with ADHD?
