Dream on / Sigue soñando

La versión en español está después de la versión en inglés.

Dudo has an appointment this afternoon with the veterinarian. The top photo is him cracking up as he yelled to Moose, “Did you hear that? They think they’re going to get ME in that cage! Dream on!”

Yesterday, Dudo was miserable the entire day. Today, he’s acting like he hasn’t a care in the world. I even gave him his new toy. I have one for Moose, too, but he hasn’t seen his yet. It looks to us like Dudo has a rectal prolapse. Maybe not as awful as we first thought, but certainly serious enough. We’ll know more this afternoon. The vet can explain it to us while we’re bandaging our own wounds from getting Dudo in the travel cage.

San Geraldo surprised Moose last night before bed and successfully shot an entire dose of meds into his mouth. He then told me that Moose hates him. Moments later, Moose crawled into bed and snuggled next to him for the entire night.

Dudo tiene cita esta tarde con el veterinario. La foto superior lo muestra riéndose mientras le grita a Moose: “¿Escuchaste eso? ¡Creen que ME van a meter en esa jaula! ¡Sigue soñando!”

Ayer, Dudo estuvo miserable todo el día. Hoy, actúa como si no le importara nada en el mundo. Incluso le regalé su juguete nuevo. También tengo uno para Moose, pero él aún no ha visto el suyo. Nos parece que Dudo tiene un prolapso rectal. Quizás no sea tan terrible como pensábamos al principio, pero ciertamente es lo suficientemente grave. Sabremos más esta tarde. El veterinario podrá explicárnoslo mientras nos vendamos nuestras propias heridas por meter a Dudo en la jaula de viaje.

San Geraldo sorprendió a Moose anoche antes de acostarse y le inyectó con éxito una dosis completa de medicamentos en la boca. Luego me dijo que Moose lo odia. Momentos después, Moose se metió en la cama y se acurrucó junto a él durante toda la noche.

  1. Haaaaaaa! What great fun that toy is! And, we even got to hear a little, bitty meow at the end. Ahhhh 🙂
    Hoping you two and Dudo survived the process of getting Dudo to the vet.

    1. Judy C:
      We’re making progress. I bought the cats a set of two fish. They loved them until Dudo had to go to the vet.

    1. Fun with kitties. They have the humans pretty much where they want them. I hope your er visits after you get him into the carrier go well.

      1. Boud:
        You’ve seen the progress. More to come later today.

    2. Mistress Borghese:
      I imagine you made some of the same sounds as Dudo, too. He’s settled down now.

  2. Laughing Dudo makes me smile; hopefully he’ll still be laughing later today!

    As for Moose, our cats were the same way: they hated when Carlos gave them meds but forgot about it in a matter of minutes and were all lovey-dovey again.

    1. Debra:
      I got a pair of flopping fish and the cats love(d) them. We’ll play again when all this is over.

  3. Our ‘pets’ can be so forgiving….especially when food is concerned. Sending healing and positive energy to Dudo and you both.

  4. Yesterday Glen and I decided that our cats spend snuggle time with us because that is their job. They are paid with food and shelter. We think they probably have a secret time clock to punch to keep track of their hours.

    P.S. Good luck getting Dudo in his carrier.

  5. I hope it all went well – getting Dudo into the carrier AND his appointment. Even dogs can be a challenge that way. Especially dogs like the ones we have who get to roam free. (I’m in a rural area and not irresponsible about it)

    1. Kelly:
      Dudo and Moose were alone in a little cage in a dismal shelter for the first 10 months of their lives. So they weren’t very sociable when we got them. It makes these events even more challenging.

    1. Jon:
      It’s got USB power zipped inside. Dudo immediately went for the zipper.

    1. Kirk:
      The meow was to tell me he wasn’t going to continue to play alone. I had to join in.

Please share your thoughts...
