Hey FMLers, this is a good news, bad news, good news story. First the good news I got to go see my fuzzy Nixon over the weekend and his playmate Ashley ( The I'll eat anything I can get my paws on, puppy) It was soooo great to see the two of them. I only got to spend a few hours with Nixon but it was great to see him. That's the good news. The bad news was the reason I saw them. Note the parenthesis after Ashley (our puppy 7mos. old) Well..that's precisely the reason I went to see them. Thursday afternoon I got a call from my girlfriend (she takes care of both), it seems that Ashley managed to get up on the dresser and knocked over a bottle of Advil. Well the rattle probably enticed her; she ended up chewing throught the bottle and eating a large quantity of advil. She was rushed to an animal hospital where they treated her in an ICU with an IV. They weren't sure she would make it. So I hopped the first plane thursday night. The second good news part is that she was released about five o'clock sunday night. As playful as ever. With just a little medication for her stomach. :) :) :) I would like to thank all the staff at the hospital where ashley was treated. (I'd mention it by name, but my Nixon still resides in an FFZ, it's just easier to hide him there than where I am) When I saw Nixon again it was like picking him up for the first time. I picked him up out of his hammock, from a deep sleep, and he looked at me all bleary eye'd. I melted. I've missed him so much over the past months. Out of guilt for leaving him I even bought him some new toys. Which brings me to another question: Does Catnip affect ferrets? Thanks for listening Me, Nixon (you're here? Where the h*ll have you been? I missed you) and Ashley(I'm so happy to see you I think I'll try to knock you unconcious with this plastic thing they put around my head) [Posted in FML issue 1340]
