Don't Read That Trash; Read This!

Another day, another vet visit.  It's been two weeks since I had my first dose of lomustine (which I won't be taking any more), so we had to go back to Plantation Animal Hospital to get my CBC blood work done.  This time, so Maddy wouldn't cry, Mama decided to bring her along.  Bad idea-- she cried anyway!

 

And here's why she's so upset:

 I think this cat's name is Benny.  It likes looking down on all who enter. 

It was very snuggly with the humans, who thought its white toes were cool.  Whatever.  It's a cat.

I wasn't gone too long, Maddy was whining about the cat or something, and also managed to lick the toes of everyone who came to the animal hospital.  As Auntie Cheryle says, she's a toe ho. 

After we got home, we met Amanda, our new babysitter.  For being a cat person, she was very ok with me trying to crawl in her lap right away.  Maddy explained that she was boss (yeah, right), we showed her how we howl, and then Maddy was trying to hog all the attention and be her BFF.

Here is what the rundown to a petsitter sounds like:
 "We are basically a pet CVS."
"Maddy is a hungry, hungry hippo."
"Maddy tries to eat Murphy's food, so make sure you stand between them."
"Maddy antagonizes the cat on a daily basis."
"Maddy gets into the dog food container, so it is in the utility room."
"Maddy opens the fridge, so that is why it has a lock on it."
"Maddy also gets into the "pet-proof" trash can, so it needs to be in the garage during the day."
"If you feel the need to walk a dog, just take Maddy."

Do you see a pattern here?  :D

Amanda was really nice.  We all like her and we will try not to miss Mama too much when she's gone.  I'm pretty sure that we will still get treats and belly rubs, and maybe we will let her sleep on the bed with us.

Just after Amanda left, Mom got this on video:

Notice how she doesn't even seem to care that Mom is watching.  She is SO bad.  

It's ALMOST Friday, which means that we get Mama for the WHOLE WEEKEND!  We are very excited because our days usually look like this:

But we are hoping that there is lots of this:

and maybe even this:

Have a happy Friday!  WOOF!
