What did your pet(s) do today?

Bèsame* · 06-12-2020, 08:57 PM

Jelly and I are sad. I came home to find our friend, the balcony lizard dead on my door mat.

Upon further examination, well lizard autopsy,
looks like it's been dead for a while. How it showed up on the door mat, is a mystery. I suspect it was a bird capture gone wrong.!🦎

Cried to go out, cried to be let in. Cried to go out, cried to be let in. Over and over. Usually when he cries I can fix it but come on cat be reasonable - I don't rule the rain! I can see a cat flap door thing in our near future.

I've taken to playing with each of them individually right after they've eaten wet food in the morning and night because they have more spunk and playfulness then.

Loki eats in a separate room because he's a food hog and I get tired of being the referee. So, when Gracie finishes, she comes over to me and I pet her and then out comes the laser pointer. She loves it. When I've run her for a few minutes, I let Loki out and do the same for him. There's been less squabbles between them so working out that extra energy is really helping us all. They get exercise and they crack me up.

Today, Gracie got into it so much that her tail puffed up and she totally cracked out on it. It tickled my fancy so much. Also, I realized that I inadvertently taught Loki how to open the bathroom door, which he does from time to time. His favorite way to play with the laser pointer is if I move it side to side on the door and he'll jump up and put his paws together to catch it. Sometimes, he catches the doorknob. Sometimes he turns it just a little bit. I never noticed until now. Darnitall.

I'm not a 15 yr old dog but I can relate.

I had a blind date once who did similar, needless to say it didn't workout...

My old man dog is duping me. He has been limping badly for three days. We examined his paws, leg, joints. No cries for pain, no visible injuries, so I have a vet appointment for him this morning. He has a regular annual visit next week but I got him a sick dog visit because of the limping. Now... after keeping him to the first floor of the house for three days and letting him sleep his old heart out in front of the air conditioner he's fine. Dance walking, happy as a clam. Do I cancel the sick visit or get him checked to be sure he's fine? I suppose I will call the vet and let them decide.

The cats are all sprawled out. The old lady is screaming for food even though it's right in front of her. The others couldn't care less about anything really.

My dog is in the hospital.

He woke up very anxious, nervous, panting and packing and his legs were shaking. Then his legs started going out from under him. I sat with him for a few hours and went to work because my daughter has today off and she could sit with him. She called me two hours later to come home which is NOT like her. She had found him in the hallway laying on his stomach with all of his legs splayed out.

I got us a 3pm appointment with his vet but I didn't wait. I rushed him in at 11:30 and thankfully they took them. Now I am home waiting. They did a physical and bloodwork and haven't detected for sure what it is so he's going in for an EKG.

I'm so anxious and heartbroken not knowing what is wrong but knowing he is hurting. He's almost 13 years old so I know this could also be end of life for him.

Update: Dog is home with a dx of Degenerative Myopathy. They gave him a cortisone shot and a script for prednisone to start tomorrow. Then I need to give real thought to his quality of life if this doesn't work. My sweet old man dog. The shot is def making him feel better but I feel horrible. I'm going to sleep downstairs on a daybed next to him tonight because he can't do stairs.
