Sunday, the 27Th was Grayson 's first birthday party...can't believe he is one already!The theme was pirates and he arrived in a red bandanna dew rag, a striped shirt and blue pan ts that were cut off in jagged edges...way too cute. Marcia made two birthday cakes...one a pirate's treasure chest and the other a skull and crossbones cake. the skull cake was his to plow into...and he certainly did that....It was so cute to watch....
Friday the 4Th was my appointment with the retina specialist...Marcia came with me to hold my hand and generally keep my spirits up.. Bless her heart - I practically broke her hand bones as he put the injection directly into my eye-ball... They did numb it a lot...but it still hurt like crazy. It was two years since the last one and, I suspect, it will have to be done in another two years...I also sort of jumped when he did the injection so I have a really red eye these days - tho' it is getting better. Doesn't hurt and hasn't dried up...so all is well now in that department.
Steve came down on Saturday - so good to see him!!!!! We went to lunch......he walked the dog....and went home. It was a good afternoon!
Saturday night, the building manager organized a dinner out.....We went to an Irish Pub here in Renton First problem with that was that we had two individuals in power chairs....and they restaurant had put us in a spot that had a step to go up...which the power folks could not manage.....one decided to stay by himself on the main floor and the other one went home...(The place was only three blocks from the building) From the time we got in until we left they played, sang and danced LOUD Irish music....We couldn't hear ourselves think let alone have a conversation....To top it all off,,,,my beer was $6 a glass! Needless to say, I most likely won't sign up to go there again!
Monday, as I was walking Fritz, I noticed he was having a hard time pooping...and when he did do the deed, he would scoot and try to drop more...and generally make a mess in his hind end. I am sure that this is too much information! LOL I had brought along a paper towel to wipe him down 'cause I didn 't want him on my lap in that condition....saw some tiny blood spots....and knew that was not good...so off we went to the vet....Come to find out, he had ruptured an anal gland....they had to put him under in order to drain it...and fix it....and then they had to give him antibiotics. While he was under, they cleaned his teeth - a good thing!
I can pick him up this afternoon (Wednesday)...it has been really weird not having him around...I will probably spoil him even more than I already do!!!!
So...that's that! I was able to talk with Jocelyn on the phone the other day...so good to hear her voice....she is having a great time in Germany....I miss her LOTS.....
Better go....It is nearly noon and I haven't had breakfast yet!!!
