Goings on
Friday, the 4th, we took Vinny to the vet.
Vinny relaxing on his favorite scratching thingy:
He had seemed to be eating less and would squeak at me in the morning until I gave him wet food. This is not a normal occurrence. Wet food is a sometimes treat in this house, so this was odd. Especially since after he ate (Jack got some too), he was fine.
It was difficult, but I tried to look at his teeth (he is not very cooperative) and it seemed there was a demarkation. So I made an appt and Boo and I took him in Friday.
Poor baby did ok, but he does indeed have a tooth or so that needs to come out. They did blood work that day and called Sunday with the results. Everything was fine except a slightly elevated kidney enzyme. I freaked. I lost a cat a long time ago to kidney failure and my brain shorted and “Slightly elevated enzyme” meant “Vinny is going to die like Peabody did.”
The Dr. expained it was most likely just slight dehydration and that they usually test it against urinalysis, but they didn’t have a urine sample. So when he goes in on Friday (the 11th), before they do the teeth, they will do kidney enzymes and urinalysis. Then if all is well, they will take out the poor kitty toof.
The rest of the day was spent at Boo’s parents’ house celebrating his sister’s birthday. It was on the 1st but her boyfriend planned something special for her so we celebrated on the 4th. Yummy Smart Dogs and Not-wings along with some cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World.
Saturday Boo and I continued our marathon training in the morning and then went to fellow Raveler subliminalrabbit’s yard sale and scored some pretty yarn and a bookshelfy thing.
We saw WALL•E Sunday after doing some shopping. It was wonderful. We both enjoyed it so much.
Then we had to go to the running store to get me some new running shorts. The pair I was wearing had been with me through two marathons and decided to just stop holding up at some point on Saturday. I couldn’t find the same ones in the store but I found a suitable substitute. I did find the new version of the ones I love (I bought them in 2006) so I will be getting a couple pairs of these soon. They are a little longer and the key pocket has moved - both are good things for me.
Today will be spent doing some cooking I think. We got a new produce box today and I always love diving into that.
