No workout today, as I got Mopsy a 9:00 appt. I knew it was going to rough getting him in the carrier. I managed to get him to follow me in the bathroom. He weighs 18 lbs! and he hates carriers. First time I tried to shove him in headfirst, was bad. I've never heard such a loud, scary yowl from a cat and he turned on me and came flying out. Then he ended up in the sink and hunkered down. Got him out of there and he had his nose to the door and it's a small bathroom. Managed to start at his tail and work forward until I could slam the door in his face. Wow was he mad and I got to hear all about it. Once I started driving though he quieted down. Turns out he has ear mites and it was self inflicted. He has big ears and all the area you can easily see looks fine. They cleared his ears out really well, gave me drops, and the vet stuck a needle in and drained all the blood out of the hematoma. Very good chance it'll fill back in. But, while the vet didn't tell me a price range, actually putting in a drain tube, which is more likely to be successful, is a lot more costly. Googling told me low end $1000, though not where in the country the number came from. Today was only $100. Derek and I will be checking all ears to see if anyone else needs to be cleaned up and started on drops.
Carolyn that's hysterical about your car! At 4'9" I'd be hearing that constantly! My car has a screen, but it's controlled by a nob and buttons, I can reach with my right hand between the seats. I can do it by touch without looking down. Screen isn't touch. OTOH Derek's 2009 Prius has a touch screen. My car has few bells and whistles which is okay with me. Nice job with JS 30 Minute Fat Blaster.
Valerie sorry that your first ride had issues. Glad the second one went better. Yay on toe touching, great progress. Vet tech told me this morning that they get a lot of cancellations for cat appointments because the owners cat catch them.
Judy great job with the Peloton workouts. Downside of being in the boonies is none of the house call vets come out this far.
