"A-Plus" in Greyt Fighter
"F-Minus" in Fabric Processing
Last weekend Diddlydoo (one of the new greys fresh off the farm)
decided to tear up a sleeping bag while unsupervised. She may have
had some help, but that’s irrelevant. Vomiting started Sunday and
into Monday when she turned down food and laid in her crate instead of
interacting with the others. Tuesday she went to Great Oaks then
straight to the Emergency Vet.

The doc called Bob about nine pm to say that after taking xrays they
got the gas cleared up in the bowel, but there was what appeared to be
a PIECE OF FABRIC stuck in there. They were prepping her for surgery.
It was purely a case of "The String That Binds". There were actually
THREE pieces of sleeping bag that were being held in check by the
thread. Three one inch incisions were needed to get it all. He said
that if not for string everything would have passed normally. She was
so close, but.......

Prognosis is for a full recovery. She has some angry parts, pancreas,
intestines, and stomach, but he said they'll calm down. He watched her
for a spell before closing and everything is working as it should.
"Good Girl". At 6:00 am she was transferred to Great Oaks for post op
care. She will be going back to Bob’s today, Friday. (Amazingly,
Lana had almost this very same thing happen to her cat, and she
definitely used up one of her nine lives that time around!)
WARNING: This could have been YOU.

“YOU CAN’T BUY LOYALTY”
You can't buy loyalty, they say.
I bought it though, just the other day.
You can't by friendships, tried and true
Well, just the same I bought that too.
I made my bid and on the spot
Bought love and a whole job lot
Of happiness, so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small
I bought a single trusting heart,
that gave devotion right from the start
So, if you think these things are NOT FOR SALE…
