Deep breaths

Tweet

I am practicing taking deep breaths right now. Supper is made and eaten. Its a good time to be grateful that my Siamese Beau Teak made it through this past weekend. Beau kitty has chronic colds. I could take him to the Doc every couple months. This time around his cold developed and developed. Gunky nose and gunky eyes and horrid breathing. I managed to get water and slurpy canned food into him, a couple of teaspoons anyway. This morning he was having none of that. I called the Doc. Pleaded for antibiotics. Due to the Pandemic all Vets are overrun with patients. She told me to come get a bottle of meds. I took Rufus with me on our ride into town. Got home to find that hubby had the itch to go out onto the deck for some smoky 'fresh' air. Yup. Beau skipped out too. I've walked the property looking and calling. Thinking the worst and knowing if Beau was lying in weeds I'd never find him. Just before supper I put Rufus on the long leash- our driveway gate is open tonight- and we walked out together. I turned back toward the house. Rufus yanked on the leash. Not a usual yank. I turned to tell him to quit and there was Beau- walking as fast as he could from down the driveway toward the yucky neighbors. I told Rufus GOOD boy!! I gathered up Beau and once we got into the house, hubby and I washed his drooly face and I got out a syringe of liquid antibiotics. I put him in the kitty carrier and then into the smallest bathroom. He is in there now, taking in steam from the shower. At least now he has a chance to get better. Before bed I will do my best to get another dose of meds in him. More deep breaths for the both of us.
