Maybe you could give up eating as well that would give you a bit more time.
I am currently eating once a day.
wifey makes me.
I'm really too busy to eat, but I do know that after 3 days or so of not eating, I get a bit dizzy and confused.
I used to do that often and is a major factor in my needing a woman in my life. :rolleyes:

When I'm busy I forget to eat and drink too.
It's only when I've finished and sit down I realise how thirsty and hungry I am.
Never gone without for 3 days though.
Good job Wifey is there to look after you!

Nos da, Lyn!
Sleep well.:)
Does the visit to the Eisteddfod depend on the result of your visit to the hairdressers'?
Have fun and speak soon.

It was so traumatic for her and exhausting for me, that I after I ran errands, I came home and took a nap.

Poor Misty. She's just so very traumatized by going in the truck. She was a bit nervous and shaky in the vet office, but the truck ride was horrible. It took my daughter and I about 10 minutes to manhandle her up inside, then the whole way there she was trying to crowd behind me (the driver). Then in the office, she was shaking and panting.

The vet asked how long the lump had been on her side, and I said I had only noticed it a couple days ago. That really isn't a good answer because it may have been there weeks or months????? Anyway, he said just to watch it and if it grows fast it's not a fatty tumor and he can remove it (if I want). If it is a fatty tumor, it doesn't do any harm to just leave it there.

Then another traumatizing trip in the truck home. Poor doggy.

One of my cats undergoes a compete personality change when he has to ride in the car: he becomes a screaming, spitting, growling beast that is totally unrecognizable. The vet gave me a capsule to give him about 1 hr before the planned trip. I throw a towel in the drier a few minutes before we go, and wipe down the inside of his cat carrier with a calming pheromone solution for cats. When we’re ready to go, I put the warm towel in the carrier and add him to it. The combination of meds, warm towel and pheromones has made a huge difference. He is MUCH calmer, travels MUCH better and is easier for them to handle.
I don’t know if there’s a pill the vet can give you to help Misty calm down (must be done BEFORE they start to get fearful,) or if there are other methods to help her.
I HATE to see my animals frightened or distressed, and I know you do, too. [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

Oh man. . . I wish I had that type of will power. I'm looking like I'm 7 months pregnant. I just love food too much to leave it alone.

thank you for the idea. If there is another trip in the truck I'll keep that in mind.
