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?
Nice post. They have specials here too for neutering, usually cats, have not seen one for dogs.
Maya will not be spayed after she has her pups unless it’s for medical reasons. Personal thing. Not long to go now.

You’ll get over it Sasha!
I hope you get that burst of color from the trees. Mine are always more muted than yours.

We may be slow this year but I’m not seeing the brilliant colors this year.

Testicle Festival! A most excellent event to get those pups and cats neutered!
Good news that Sasha’s ear drops are history and that she is doing better!
Years ago I watched scary movies but no more, nothing violent either. Makes my stomach go into acid overdrive. Our week was perfect weather. It’s the kind of week that has people doing the snowbird thing. It was a long wait. It was already brutally hot and humid in June.
Hope you are having a nice Sunday. Sundays are my favorite day of the week!

Today has been pleasant. Sundays have never been my favorite day and I don’t know why. It’s not about the “Monday” thing. I think it’s a non-routine day that seems to get wasted unlike Saturday when there is stuff to get done. I know. None of that makes sense.

My Italian grandfather called them…ballings. We had lots of cats whose were pretty impressive. I remember Mugsy, a Tiger cat that never accepted that his were gone. :)

Testicle Festival? 😆 I love it. Although at first read I thought you were going to say it was a big truck rally or something similar. Have you seen trucks in your area with metal testicles hanging off the back end? I saw one parked downtown last week and couldn’t resist kicking those danglers – yes, I am 5…😜

No, I haven’t seen them and yes, they need to be kicked! I wish I were 5!

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).

That’s funny that Gus runs where the fridge door opens. What is Tresaderm you were giving? I always stick it in my pocket for a minute or two before giving so it warms up a bit. I wouldn’t care for cold drops in my ears either!

I should probably have done that but I didn’t. It will take a while until Gus is desensitized. He needs his ears cleaned. No problem now but his left canal is small and gets gunky.
