Cinder here ...

What started out Wednesday nite as a "lil *itch*" got made into a Major Disaster
as soon as DOD (Dear ole Dad) got into it!

Smokey woke up furst ... "HEY ... WHAT are you DOIN!? QUIT wiffa *lickin*!"

Sorrie; gotz me a lil *itch* ... just *skratchin* it.

"Wiff your TONGUE?? ... *Skratch* wiif paw! (quietly), Please!"

*LICK* ~ *lick* ~ *LICK*

HEY YOU! QUIT wiffa darn LICKIN! GO TO SLEEP!!
Nutz! ... now I gotta go pee.

"You best NOT be *lickin* when he stumbles back in here!"

*lick* ~ *lick* ~ *lickity-lick* ...

*CLICK* went the light!
OMG! LOOKIT What'cha did to your hip ---
You've ripped off 2" x 2" of fur down to the SKIN!


WHAT's WRONG ??

Got a lil *itch*, Dad. --- I'z *fixin* it.
He din't wait abound to hear the answer ...
He wuz dialin Doc Mike's nummer at 5:30 AM ...

Awww, NUTS --- Doc's closed till next Monday ... Gotta call the Hi-Priced Vets.

They dint answer till 7:45 AM ... I heard 10:30 mentioned ... and "We'll be there!" ...

I shudda stayed home ...
Doc Tom wuzza nice guy - took wun look an sed "Hot Spot" ...
Dad telled him I'd had a couple before (down onna tummy) -
Steroid Shot & Anti-Biotiks had fixed me rite up ...

He agreed - but then wanted to see my tummy ...
FOUR big hand-paws later I was uppie-side-down gettin a tummy check ...
All clear onna tummy ... could be:
* An allergy - food or environmental
* a Buggy Byte --- most any kinda critter

OK, but he wanted to "shave the area" ...
Off I went wiffa Cute Young Thing or two ...

Back 10 minutes later ... she musta *flunked* beauty skewel --- LOOKIT DIS >>>


<gasp>

We gotz a free CAPSTAR Flea Killer tab for me and SmokeMutt,
anna Humungus bottle of AntiBiotik pills ... wiff instructions to take ALLUA
pills an come back in three weeks - or sooner iffin it doesn't start clearin up.

I'd quit *fussin* wiff it by the time we got back home.

SmokeMutt keeps *starin* an *shakin* his headbone.
He offered to loan me a sweater ... iffin dis DRAFT keeps up, I mite try wun on.

Dunno if all dis *shavin* wuz really required! >>>



Wish me Luck dat the *itchiness* stays gone ...

Memo to Self:
Learn to *lick* QUIETLY!
