wheeling and dealing

Tweet

I drove to the next town over to a plant nursery and bought two butterfly bushes. They are pretty small. Much smaller than I thought but hoping they will grow. Today the weather is dishing up Spring. Tomorrow the clouds are supposed to be moving out and hot summer movng in again. It was in the 80s yesterday. This roller coaster weather is not fun. But probably good for the painters as they scrape away at the house. While I was over in that neighboring town I stopped at a Veterinary clinic. I asked the receptionist whether they are taking new patients that have a prior medical history. Yes they are. Just not now. In about a month. Fine with me. I signed Beau Teak Siamese up for an exam. He needs care. Chronic respiratory and gum issues just not going away. What a total relief for me- this will mean I will NOT be on the mean highway with the mean huge trucks and meaner fast SUVs. I had Rufus with me so I grabbed his leash and walked him into the clinic. The receptionist was: you don't have an appointment! I said no I don't. I need you to meet Rufus. I wanted and needed to see how the guy would treat Rufus and how Rufus would treat the guy. Everything went fine. It just took a minute for me to know that this clinic was going to be a good choice for my fur kids. Tomorrow my garden buddy will be back to snag some more money from me. She will have a wisteria and another butterfly bush, too. I'm ready for more gardening adventures. And relieved about Beau Teak.
