Thursday night, Daisy squirmed and hissed when Amy brushed her tail. Daisy never hisses. I tried to take a closer look later that night, but couldn’t see anything under all her fur. I felt a hard bump though, and expected the worst — a broken tail. Amy took her to the vet Friday afternoon, and learned that Inigo bit her tail pretty badly, and that she had an infected abscess. The vet drained the wound, and Daisy was spoiled all weekend.
My plans to meet up with Destine (in town for the ECCC Commodore convention) Friday night didn’t materialize. So, Amy & I had dinner at Giordano’s and did a crossword puzzle while we waited for our food. We got a call asking if we could come in to clean the cat shelter Saturday morning, and we were happy to oblige.
After we finished at the shelter Saturday, we headed downtown for Wired NextFest. We came back home for dinner (homemade kung pao chicken), then picked up some Wii games at GameStop: The Simpsons Game and Trauma Center: New Blood. Thanks to same late-night Red Bull, I was up until 3am playing The Simpsons Game.
Today, I did the crossword puzzle with Amy, ran some errands, mowed the lawn, and then we watched Jericho. Tomorrow, I have to drop Daisy off at the vet’s for follow-up & observation on my way to work, and pick her up when I come home. They might have to knock her out, so she’s locked in the basement bathroom overnight without food & water. I just know I’m going to end up sleeping down there to keep her company.
