It was a day like no other. Just kidding. In many ways, it was a day like many others. At least as far as vacation days go.
Picky eater cast asides. |
This morning, breakfast was boycotted for three full hours
before I realized the time and nuked some mixed frozen vegetables to add to the bowl. Even
that was problematic, as indicated by the green beans tossed onto the floor and
left in the bowl, but at least he had eaten and I could give him his insulin.
A scheduled vacation day travel excursion involved a round
trip journey to the vet in Fitchburg. An insulated cooler bag with multiple ice
packs was prepared. After achieving the quest items, the insulin was set into
the cooler bag and the Heartgard was set in my purse. The reward for quest
completion was a stop at the consignment store where a skirt was scored, a gas
station where half a tank of gas was acquired, and Ocean State Job Lot where
rice, capers, and cosmetics were bought, and where I forgot to look for pumpkin puree. Oops.
Back at home, there were a few hours to relax before it was
time to head to dress rehearsal. During this time, the Canine Overlord chose to
ignore me. Luckily for me, at his supper time he chose to eat his food with added
mixed veggies without hesitation or the mess made at breakfast.
Winston the Aloof. |
Back at home again, Winston greeted me briefly, went outside, then retired to his living room bed to ignore me for a couple more hours, making it a night like most others. So much for all those adopt a pet heartstring plucking memes about having a pet to cuddle.
Winston the Aloof was cuddly when Moose was around and he was competing for attention, but now that he is an only pet, he has no use for it. Winston came when it seemed that Moose needed a buddy. Maybe Winston needs a buddy.
