What a weekend.
Friday. Woke up and found Ash trying to pee on the floor. Was pissed (get it? hahaha...ha, ahem) but worried at the same time. So called vet when got to work and they told me to bring him in right away. He ended up getting antibiotic shots and I took him home.
catchy_chass and
mutt_taray came over. Then the Boyfriend came over. Then
cheeze_mosa's Mike. It was pretty crowded. Oh, then mutt's bikee also came over! But I didn't really get a chance to talk to him cuz I was so tired.
Saturday. Woke up and found Ash growling. Tried to give him his medicine but he promptly threw it up. Then he gave a really loud, painful cry. Called vet and was told to bring him over right away because it's an emergency. Knew something was seriously wrong when I put Ash in the carrier and he just settled himself in (normally he'd be fighting to get out.) At the vet, I was told that he needs surgery right away. I can see $$$ flying off...*sniff* Afterwards, the Boyfriend, Catch, Mutt, and I all looked at apartments. I'm sure some of you already know, but we are moving. Again. My roommate is moving in with another friend so Cheeze and I decided to find a smaller place rather than go through the trouble of finding a new roomie. Then met up with Cheeze and her man (along with Tinik) at Ebisu for some ramen and okonomiyaki. Yum. Visited Ash later with Tinik. He looked angry at me, but had tear stains under his eyes. Even Tinik didn't want to pet him. A lab tech came over and started petting him hard at which point, he turned his back on her. Go, Ash!
Sunday. Church, big breakfast, and then went to see Pirates. Good movie! Love that Jack Sparrow. Of course, hated the ending. Later picked up Ash. When the receptionist handed me the bill, my eyes fell out. Needless to say, it was a lot of $$$$$$$. Next time, will bring Ash to Dr. Eaton instead. Hate these OC vets with their bloodsucking ways.
Today. Had a struggle with Ash, trying to give him his meds. Ended up stuffing the pill inside a treat at which Ash ate it all up, pill and all. Coworker told me it's good training for parenthood.
Whew. Overall, good weekend. Got chance to chitchat with cousin and sisters. And Ash is alive.
