Weekend Plans Post: Toothless

Poor little Alice is over 20 years old at this point. According to the google, that puts her at about 97 in human years. 97! You start slowing down a lot in your late 90’s, I’ve been told.

Well, she had an abscess and we had the vet check her out and, yep, she needed a toothectomy. So, today, she had some of her molars removed.

We picked her up about an hour after the surgery and her pupils were the size of saucers and she was in a foul fettle. We put up the baby gate to make sure she wouldn’t try to go down a staircase and, after a couple of hours, she found herself willing to eat wet food and willing to be petted. She attempted dry food but when the kibbles get on the wrong side of her mouth, they fall out and she spends 5 seconds rubbing at her face.

Poor kitty.

So now we get to wait for a few days to see if she is in a much better mood once the headache recedes and just enjoy petting a kitty who is caught up on medical procedures, however temporarily.

It’s also a gaming weekend and it’s time to do one of the big trips to Costco that requires multiple trips from the car (Water, Hecho en Mexico Coca-Cola, Iced Tea) and next week is Spring Break at work which means nothing really for me but about half of my co-workers are going to be out of the office. WHICH WILL BE NICE. Might get some stuff done.

All in all, I’m hoping it’ll be mostly uneventful, though. Too much already going on. And, seriously, poor Alice.

So… what’s on your docket?
