Happy Moonday!
It was 30 degrees at the park this morning. Either I am getting used to the cold, or 30 is not as cold as it used to be. I had to take off my hat and gloves because I was too hot. I’m wondering if all the warm days warmed up the ground a bit or something.
My poor magnolia was starting to bloom already, and now all the blossoms are frozen.
Rocky got a new sister. Cerby was trying to play with her, rare for him to play with another dog, and poor Aayla was so scared. She screamed all the way to the pavilion. She also growled at Echo and Ripple. She is supposed to be chihuahua and yorkie. She looks like neither.
We had a scare with Cerby today. He went after Ripple, I have no idea why. They were in the kitchen and Ripple ran to me. Cerby was on top of Ripple and trying to bite him.
I yelled at Cerby to go lay down and then he turned on me and started growling and showing his teeth.
My son came running and then Cerby turned to him growling and showing his teeth. We still have some jungle boxes in the living room and my son grabbed one of those and held it between them.
The scary part was that Cerby’s eyes were glazed over, he looked like he was going psycho. He kept looking back and forth at us, showing his teeth and growling.
Adam ran past me and I thought if Cerby did this to Adam he would have killed him.
Now I know why his first vet recommended putting him down.
I’m going to make an appointment with the vet and rule out any medical reasons, but I have felt for a long time that there is something wrong with him. He’s not right in the head.
That was some scary behavior.
No idea what triggered it.
Fortunately, no damage to Ripple, who was just trying to get away. He had a wet spot on his back where Cerby kept trying to grab him.
Cerby is giving me plenty of space right now, and he won’t make eye contact with me.
I talked with a vet online and she feels that Cerby may need to be put down. She said she has seen this behavior before and in her experience, it only gets worse. I’m going to schedule a thyroid test as an underactive thyroid can cause aggression. I’ll talk with a behaviorist, that got put on hold because of Ripple’s cancer.
I think the eyes glazing over just really got to me.
Happy Toosday!
Happy Birthday BooFae
As you can see, I didn’t finish yesterday.
I was wiped out.
Cerby is back to normal today. It took several hours for him to get back to normal. He wasn’t being aggressive, but he was avoiding both of us.
My son thinks he has PTSD from the kids.
We went to the park this morning, but didn’t stay long. It was COLD and I didn’t take my hat and gloves because I didn’t need them yesterday. The temp was higher today, but it was damp and started sleeting.
Cerby and Echo go to daycare tomorrow, I’ll ask them to check his thyroid.
I got Ripple’s Palladia today. $572 for 15 pills. Last time it was $339. I asked why it’s more for a lower dose and it’s because these are hand mixed and made into capsules. The other ones were tablets and I guess maybe a standard dose?
I add calendar stuff to my ToDoList. I tend to ignore my phone, so that doesn’t irk so well. I bought a planner, and that irked for about three weeks.
The best planner I ever had was one I designed for myself. I lost the code for it and I’m not going to code it again.
{{{Ace}}} How horrible for you! If I lived closer, I would drive you. I hope all goes well with your husband.
FlyBoy, food that is still moving is not very appealing to me.
Congrats to everybody who found lost cards.

Talky and Taters Whenever I bitch about my job, I’ll think of what y’all go through and count my blessings.
Red, my friend’s husband had two brothers who divorced and then married each other’s ex-wives. Then went on to have more children, So, cousins because step-siblings, and half siblings were cousins. From what I understand, it was all quite amicable.
Sometime in the future somebody is going to be cussing when they try to figure out that family tree.
I remember when his sister got married. She was 30 and marrying a 20-year-old. My friend and I kind of laughed and said that marriage won’t last long. It lasted 10 years, and she was divorcing him so she, who was now 40, could marry her new 20-year-old lover. The first husband was devastated.
Swampy, my great-aunt/cousin used to sing that to us.
If I remember correctly, one of the Rolling Stones was in that situation, except it was his son who married his wife’s mother.
There was this nice woman who hired me to pet sit her cats. She had never had pets before.
She bred her Siamese cat and she kept a male kitten.
She was telling me the story of how she got her third Siamese.
Mama cat wasn’t spayed and baby boy wasn’t neutered and she told me, with horror in her voice, that she had no idea that he would do that to his own mother.
It was all I could do to keep from laughing and I almost blurted out that her baby boy was a literal mother fucker.
Anyway, Bob Rivers had made a twisted tune of Red, Red Wine, called Red Neck Swine
Two lines of lyrics are
Red neck swine you’re really like no other
Your father and your mother was your sister and your brother
Those lines ran through my head every time I took care of her kitties.
