Staples

Waiting for staple removal...

Also,

In other idiotic updates, I just realized that Riley can't scratch her ears.

She is not spazzing out much these days. Sparky was able to step right over her, which should sound insane to any of those of you who know her. I hope it's just cone related depression.

I haven't done much this weekend except hang out with Sparky and enjoy my birthday presents. It was nice to have a quiet weekend, now I'm ready for another. I did meet Jody yesterday for pizza, and we decided that the perfect work day would be 3 hours. I cannot understand why I am not in charge of these things yet.

I am experimenting with ways to prepare myself better for the work week, since nobody is offering me perpetual 3 day weekends. I bought small containers to prepare some grab-and-go lunch and breakfast options, plus I am also going to pre-fill some containers with morning pet food portions, just like pill boxes. Just trying to get my shit together. I miss movies and puzzles, so I'm going to try to accommodate them. I can juggle, right?

Speaking of which, I had better go get ready- we're going to help out at the duck race today.

She is a cat, dummy.

I was just about to post how the birds were being brave and Solo was not chasing them when she went charging out the door and damn near caught one.

Riley News

Just got a call from the vet- the histogram results came back- it's benign.

I'm so confused. Sparky said some cancers are benign, but why did she say we'd find out what stage it was? Does benign cancer have stages? "It's good news," says Sparky.

Yes, it's good news. And I am grateful.

Oh look, more staples

They took the bandage off her leg yesterday. She's still a conehead until next week.

Making Progress

We walked a bit tonight. Riley has no peripheral vision, so she kept turning right in front of me, trying to her me to trip over her. Tomorrow is our follow up appointment to see how she's healing. I think she's doing quite well.
