dchenesAAARRRRGGGHHHH!
OK, so I get home yesterday and Hillary is in a bad mood. It turns out she's getting sick, which makes her grumpy, and Zoe has some sort of intestinal bug which is causing her to make a mess everywhere. She isn't inclined to wash herself after she uses the litterbox, so she's a mess and every time she sits down, she leaves some on whatever she sat on. This is making Hillary grumpier. On top of which it's hot, and when it isn't actually raining, it's humid.
So I go to bed last night, annoyed because I myself am getting grumpy, and worried about Zoe, and I toss and turn because it's humid, and finally I fall asleep. I wake up, for absolutely no reason, at 5:00 this morning, and can't get back to sleep. Still worried about Zoe, and still humid. When I finally get up, Zoe is still making a mess everywhere, and Hillary is still sick and still grumpy, and all I can think is "I DO NOT NEED THIS!". Which is uncharitable of me, and makes me grumpy.
So here I am at work, scanning slides, having called the vet's office and gotten the suggestion that we feed Zoe baby food for a day or so and see if that helps. I hope it does, because neither of us will be here this weekend and I don't know what will happen if Zoe is still doing this.
Why so difficult?

Date: 2003-08-05 01:47 pm (UTC)The bathroom with the towels, TP and shower curtain removed works well.
At least that's what my family did once with a sick cat.
And a couple of time with a sick dog now that I think of it.
