Yesterday, Quince went to get his stitches and his staples out of his feet. he is still blowing snot like nobody’s business so they gave him an antibiotic shot (second one) and told me to continue with the Baytril as well. When they were done with the feet, and he stood up- he started bleeding from his back paw! They discovered a hole about the size of a nickel on the top of his foot- but rather than stress him out by sedating him and closing it up, I have instructions to just watch it, keep it clean and if it progresses, bring him back in. There was also concern that Quince may be just “one of those cats” with chronic upper respiratory infections. I hope not- for his sake.

The eclipse is coming on Monday and this town is going nuts.People are arriving from all over to view the eclipse. One of the farmers down the road is selling parts of his field as tent spots for people to park there and see the eclipse! The price isn’t cheap either! There’s going to be so many people converging on Oregon in the next few days. I just want to stay home and hide.
