Yikes! – It’s all hallows eve this week. How did that happen. Where was July? Oh yes, I was hiding from the insane heat. I need to live on a tropical isle with a constant comfortable temperature and cell service. Oh yes, and a Starbucks. Maybe a tiki bar too.
You gotta love a sense of humor – One of the local rescues is having a “Testicle Festival.” Yes, I looked twice too. It’s a chance to neuter your pet for free or at a very low cost. Everyone here is either past that stage or is already altered so no reproducing.
What did I get from my ancestors? – Besides everything? Every few months I get an email from Ancestry.com about a new trait that I inherited. Most of the time it’s not a surprise. They told me I don’t like cilantro. I already knew that as it tastes like soap (that’s a genetic thing). I don’t like heights. Yep, that’s me who occasionally hovers on the top step of a ladder. You know the one. It says this is not a step. This week I learned that I don’t like scary movies. I don’t. I inherited that from both sides. My mom was a romcom lover. I think my dad liked cowboy stories. (He died when I was young so that’s the best I remember.)
Sasha: Then she put drops in my ear! Mean peep! Gus: Poor baby!
The very last one – Today I gave the last eardrops to my cat Sasha for her ear issue. No one (not even me) likes ear drops. She had to have them for 7 days, twice a day. She was mostly good until yesterday when she announced, “that’s it! No more human!” Today I snagged her for her last dose, and we all celebrated with a round of kibble. (Well, not me. I had my mocha!)
Helpful to have on hand!

Fall, the beauty and the melancholy – We are moving into peak leaf colors here. Originally, they said it would be a good year for color. I’m not seeing it. Maybe some of the trees are running late. It’s all beautiful. Then there will be the excitement of the holidays. Then we have three months of grey punctuated with awful driving conditions until we can get spring to come back from that tiki bar at the islands where she winters. Sigh.
So how was your week?
Gosh – I always wondered where Spring spends the Winter….tiki bar? Makes a lot of sense to me!
Hugs, Pam

Love the Testicle Festival!! That’s a riot. Colors are just coming out here and looking lovely. Wish it didn’t remind me that winter was next. So glad Sasha’s ear drops are done. I hope they helped. One of my current petsitting fosters needs eye drops everyday…so not fun

My issue with the ear drops was that it was a squeeze bottle. I was supposed to put around 7 drops in the ear but I couldn’t see what I was doing once the dispenser was inside the canal. Should have been a bottle with a dropper. She was good until yesterday. I was only able to administer once and did the second one with morning. She is a good cat mostly. Gus cannot be found when the fridge door opens (that’s where the ear drops are).
