thursday 133-I flu the coop!!!

[zippy-kat]

Not feelin' too well on this end either. Called the Doc and she prescribed me some antibiotic for my sinus infection. This, plus a 20 page term paper (due on Sunday) does not make for a fun weekend. (yuck!)

Btw - I have a lovely flea infestation to deal with when I get home tonight. Who ever heard of fleas in November?

I hear ya!
Last Saturday, we discovered K'Cee and Sid have them; the question is, how in the world do INDOOR cats get fleas?!

I'd offer to trade "ailments" ...
but I doubt I'll find any takers!

As for the Buggy Problem ...

First Suspect might be da In/Out-side DAWGGIE!!

Second possibility is wunna da 2-Leggers!
I brough home a flea or two or three to my apartment in the Southern Tier of
New York many years ago ...
spread em all over the Fire Dept and work before I realized WHAT the problem was!
Both ankles and legs were covered in bites in a few days - and I hadn't been
near a dog or a cat in ages!

Drink?
Better make mine "warm tea".

Hey, Phred is here. Now don't talk his leg off - he probably would enjoy just sitting by the fire quietly and sipping his tea.

Fleas - yeah well, it got cold here and they all disappeared - but just one warm day - and guess who is scratching himself silly. Time for one of those little treatments that he hates. He won't talk to me all day after I use Advantage on him.

LH - thanks for the rum and pepsi and lime. It really did hit the spot!

Tough tooties? Why Laurie - I never!!

Zip - come on now - you can't be sick with that paper to finish.

[Lady's Human]

Phred, One tea, coming up. Go over and sit by the fire, it's nice and toasty. Moosmom, can you make some room for him over there?

The beernuts have been replaced by pumpkin seeds, we just got done putting up enough pumpkin for eight pies, the seeds have to go somewhere, they're now roasted and lightly salted. Mario, no spitting them, they're not watermelon seeds

[Karen]

Nice weather for a good pot of Chai tea, Phred, I'll share some with you, too. I have some really nice chai with an elephant on the box that is Kashmiri chai, and as we drink it, let's say a prayer for all those in that earthquake-stricken area, and be thankful for our nice warm fire. It's okay, Lady, come over by me, and I'll protect you from the scary fire. Phred's a firefighter guy, too, so he won't let it get you, and I bet if you ask real nice, he's got a biscuit in his pockets somewhere for good dogs.

[Corinna]

Well so many different teas I will make myself some peppermint. Still a little sore on the tummy after my flu bout. If Richard has anything like I had I don't see how he went to work.We got our swap gift to day wow it was so great Flamepony really spoiled my kids. I got a great calendar of light houses one i didn't have.
Lady, come here I'll help you calm down from that roaring fire. My lady isn't crazy about them either,Dugan well let's Just say loud pops and you find him in the basement.

[Lady's Human]

And we thought Lady got spoiled at Home!

[Karen]

Most of the others haven't met Lady in person (dogson?) like I have, so they don't know that her coat isn't as coarse as either a Lab's or a Dalmatian's, somehow in her swim through the gene pool, she ended up with a velvety soft coat. Hard head, but soft coat! Of course, Corinna's Newfies make Lady look practically nekked by comparison ...

We checked Sara but couldn't find a single flea on her; doesn't mean they're not there though! Poor Sid and Kiss have the itchies. Regardless, ever'bunny (well, sans Piper) got a bath and frontline.

Ok, I have no more reasons to procrastinate; term paper here I come...

Oh wait! I could go make Phred his tea, first!

[RICHARD]

Darn, let me draw the blinds!!
That flaming ball in the sky hurts my eyes....

Come on out Mario....it's safe.....we are the only ones here....


What day is this????

LH,

Thank you,

Just don't tell Mario that the only game I beat him I had to cheat!

Thanks for bringing Lady in to meet the masses....I understand your reluctance to bring a loved one in here....


David.

Car shopping yet????



Thanks to everyone for keeping the bar running while I was out......
And a small bit of advice to everyone...

DON'T GET A FLU SHOT!!!

[Corinna]

The 2 times I got the shot I got really sick too. so no shots this year is the 1st time to be hit like i was this year, hubby's right I think. I was under so much stress I fought off bring sick for so long it all just hit as I relaxed.
If you had any of what I had I'm really so sorry,it was nasty stuff. Glad your alive and back.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Wow, what a party you guys are having this week!

Lady's Human - thanks SO much for the recipe! I will probably test it out this weekend.
