I've been out in the lane at the end of my garden today doing my weekly blackberry bush prune and sweeping up a few leaves.
Hidden amongst the bushes I found some branches off my shrubs.:(
Guess who has been snapping and chopping them off then hiding them?
Still no sign or news from PO.
I don't like to pester her as I know they are busy with more important things but think I will have to ring her.
Yes ring her. YOU are important too.

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.
Shame poor Misty. Maybe you should start taking her in the truck often then eventually she should get over her fear. But get someone else to drive and you can sit with her.

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]️
That is a good idea.

It has been much cooler here today, in fact my feet are so called tonight I may have to wear my bed socks!
Just goes to show - be careful what you wish for!!!
That should be 'my feet are so cold'
I don't have to wear bed socks because they are called feet tonight.
They are called feet every night - and day - so nothing new there!:)
