An update on the Woo...

So, the hematoma had to be drained. It gradually increased in size over eight days until the ear flap was so heavy and swollen that poor Gypsy could barely even move it. The only good news in all this is that she needed to have her teeth cleaned, so at least I got a two for one deal.

Of course, all of this was of very little consequence to Gypsy on Friday. Let's pause for a moment to recount her "very bad day":

• Woke up earlier than normal.


• Not given breakfast.


• Had to listen to Haskell and Alley eat breakfast (note: Just because you close the door doesn't mean I can't hear you!)


• Taken to the vet.


• Left at the vet.


• Given bath.


• Put to sleep.


• While asleep, bad things happened.


• Woke up.


• Had to pee.


• Mouth hurt.


• Ear on fire.


• No Mommy.


• Become paranoid and started to whine incessantly.


• Mommy would later learn that all the whining and paranoia was a side effect of the anesthesia.


• Mommy would also discover that the whining and paranoia will take almost 48 hours to wear off (serves her right).


• Mommy (finally!) came and rescued me from the vet.


• Have a tiny accident in lobby because I still had not been given a chance to pee. Well, that and I was really excited to see Mommy.


• Make it outside just in time to really let loose. Don't make it quite to the grass. Pee on sidewalk next to grass.


• Embarrassed.


• Still feeling loopy and miss judge the jump into Mommy's car.


• Finally get breakfast.


• Must not let Mommy leave my sight. Follow her everywhere.


• Make sure Mommy knows just how really rotten my day was.


• Have Mommy shove pills FIVE pills down my throat.


• Sleepy.


• Annoy Mommy some more.


• Night, night.


• Woken up so Mommy could take pictures of how pathetic I look.


• Glare at Mommy so she knows I am not amused.


• Nod off again.


• Dream of chasing a squirrel.


• Dream squirrel got away.


THE END

Just so everyone knows just how pathetic Gypsy really looked, I offer the following:

Poor Gypsy Kitty...
