When it rains it pours...

We were all lined up to get Cas neutered today, but quickly had to cancel his appointment in hopes of getting Pip seen in his place.

I noticed that Pip was eating his yoggies awfully weird Friday evening when I was trimming his nails, but I just blew it off as him shoving too much into his mouth at one time, which he's known for. Well yesterday when I was feeding random treats, I noticed that he was doing it again, only much worse. That's when I went into panic mode.

I got him out for an evaluation, upon which I found something very strange looking at the bottom of his front teeth. It almost looked like a little infection pocket. I started freaking out! I immediately called the vet, canceled Cas' appointment and asked if they could see Pip in his place, which they could.

I had to swing by work before we could start towards the vet to pick up my check. Luckily, I didn't have to do a time check -- that takes FOREVER! We made it to the vet with nearly 30 minutes to spare and got called back within 5 minutes.

The vet tech got him out and held him while the vet looked around in his mouth. She ended up busting whatever type of infection pocket he had in there and scraped a bunch of gunk out. He was not happy about this, but did splendidly. By the time it was all over, the poor little guy was covered in blood. Well, I say covered, but he just had it on his face, chin, and neck. Which is a lot, considering how small he is.

She gave us some type of antibiotic to give him once a day for 2 weeks. She said if that didn't clear him up he'll have to be brought back and be sedated... not fun.

After we left the vets we decided to stop by our aunt Evaon's house, someone we haven't seen in forever! Even though it only seemed like 30 minutes, we were there for nearly 2 hours! I couldn't believe it! But, there was lot of rehashing to be had, so it was time well spent.

After that we went to the store, then off to Hardee's to grab a bite to eat. I couldn't believe it, but we actually managed to find a papaya at Walmart. We got the biggest one the had and made out like bandits on the price. It was a good day.

And that brings me to now. Pip has been given his meds, the gliders, cats, kittens, dog, and ducks have all been fed. Now it's time to rest.

Love & Peace

This was the only picture I took of him at the vets. It was taken on the phone, so it's not the best.

Here are some pictures from the past couple days:

New Vetericyn!!

The kitty condo.

The kittens:

This is Jasper, the cutest kitten ever!

Look at those little grubs!

Look at all of the sleeping kittens!! <3 br="">

A beautiful rainbow from our drive home today:

Going up the country, baby don't you wanna go...

A couple days ago -- I believe it was Monday -- I was browsing around on Facebook, the Madison county group to be exact, and found a guy that has .22 ammo for sale. My jaw dropped! If you're not living under a rock, then you know how hard .22 ammo is to find nowadays, so I jumped at the offer. He said $6 for 50 rounds, or $10 for 100. I messaged him and asked how much he had. He replied not long after and said that he had 300 rounds all together and would take $30 for it all. That's when I asked him if he would hold it for us until today. He was more than willing to.

Normally we would never spend that much money on something silly like this, cause $30 can go a long way! It's just so hard to pass up bullets, especially considering they're so scarce and hard to come by now.

Anyway, I'm sure you know what follows... we went to Fredericktown today! We asked him to meet us around 6 in Walmart's parking lot, which was fine with him. And just as we were pulling in, so was he. We hurried ourselves and parked next to him. LaVaughn and I both jumped out of the car, but he decided to do business from his truck. He handed us a zip-lock bag full of bullets and reassured us that they were all there. He even told us to count them if we'd like. We just took his word and went on our way.

So we're now the proud owners of 300 MORE bullets!! That puts our total up to 500! Woop woop! We have some old Remington ammo that we keep on the shelf next to our guns, but that's for us to have on had, so it's not included in our hoarder list, lol.

Since we were in Fredericktown and at Walmart, we decided to do a little grocery shopping. We're basically out of everything, so it was a good idea. But it's shopping, so how can it be fun, right? We did manage to get some stuff we've desperately needed for a while.

Our fridge was a disaster, no joke. It's needed a good purging for like a month now. And even with all the new food it in, it looks so bare!! That's how much shit we had piled in that thing! Sigh...

Hmm, what else... I guess that about covers it. I'm ready to go crawl in a corner somewhere. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Here are some pictures of a rainbow on our way to Fredericktown. It's very hard to see in some, but it's there:

And now... our BULLETS! Aren't they so pretty!?

Welcome to wonderland...

Today was one of those days when everything scenic was perfect. The lighting was just right, the color were almost surreal and it wasn't too hot or too cold. I would be more than content if the temperature stayed like this all year around. But of course, it doesn't. That's why I have to take advantage of days like this. The only downside today... the wind. As I've said before, it's nearly impossible to get a good macro shot when the wind is blowing your subject all over the place. Oh well, I managed.

I suppose that's all for now. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Movie of the day: Welcome To The Dollhouse

Here are the pics:

This photo was actually taken last night by LaVaughn. It was a lot brighter, but by the time we got home and got the camera, had nearly faded into the distance.

Rainbows truly are amazing.

A bail of hay. 

Love this shot of the barbed wire fence.

Some nice, green clovers to brighten your day?

Tree mushrooms of some sort. Maybe they're poisonous mushrooms...

I love how green the grass is.

Very majestic grass.

More of these bad boys.

I absolutely adore this picture! The reflection in the water is just stunning.

And another.

Love the fields of purple.

Little purple weed flowers. 

A web of destruction.

Yup, that's a frog.

Love the rock in the water.

It was clearly an obsession, lol.
