Loungers' Pets

But there's one thing, you all as pet owners may can answer.

What do cats do, that they sometimes have so badly injured ears?? Where they to careless at a metal fence or a rough hedge? I mean, such bad looking scratches and cuts.

Half hour ago, I called my hairy girlfriend Misaki at the bus and rail stop and when she came, I thougt: "Jeesus, what you've done with you left ear?? That's, why she was moaning so unsual. I took my pocket flashlight and I fully saw the mess. Last week, left ear was fine.

Surely, her owners saw it. I know them.

If they're roaming free, they're fighting with other cats.

Yeah, fighting is the most common cause. And in more northernly locations free roaming cats surprisingly often freeze their ears.

My wife was headed to the dentist yesterday morning and saw this dog near the intersection of our dirt County road and a two-lane State highway. This is an area that sees almost no traffic. Upon my wife’s return a few hours later the dog was still there and was very skittish — running into the field when my wife approached. She was convinced that the dog was dumped as the dog stayed at that spot throughout the day and someone had tossed a blanket and some pajama pants her direction (not that they were doing much good where they landed).

So after work I went there as it was cold outside (expected zero-F temps overnight). She was still there. I brought her some food and talked to her for a while until I was able to approach her. Some pats on the head, kind words and some dog treats got her friendly enough to pick up and load her in the car. I took her to the neighbor’s as he has a heated shop. We both hung out with her, fed her some more, gave her fresh water and some bedding. He checked on her overnight and I brought her breakfast this morning and loaded her up for a trip to the vet.

No chip so I had her checked out and vaccinated. A case of round worm (not surprising), but in good shape otherwise. She’s about a year old and not spayed. She’s hanging with the neighbor while the worm meds do their thing — as I have five Poodles that don’t need to be exposed to that. Then we’ll figure out where she’ll end up. Hoping my daughter can take her.

I had to give a name to her for the vet records so she’s now known as “Corn Dog”.
