A Day Volunteering And At The Vets

This morning Sophie wasn't any better. So, I freaked out. I know when I'm in trouble with my pets. I called the Vets and they couldn't get me in today. If I called at 8 am tomorrow, they could get me in  - maybe. I called 2 other vets and they told me they couldn't get me in till Wednesday. One told me to go to Olympia to the Emergency Vets that's open 24 hours. I really couldn't do that because I was due at the museum. I called Patrick in a panic, and he told me to keep trying around here. I called mom's vet and asked if they could get me in today. I was told to show up about 3:10 pm and they would work me in.

I decided to call that good. Then it was time to go to the Veterans Memorial Museum to work. I got there early and was let in. Skip didn't make it yet, but we waited for Skip to have him open the museum. I let him know I needed to leave by 1:45 pm because I had to go home and get Sophie, then go all the way to Centralia to the vets. We worked, keeping me busy. I was so nervous about going! We had a lot of people show up - which is awesome!

It was time for me to go home to get Sophie..... She had a good idea what I was up to because she wanted to hide from me. She went under the bed. So, I acted like I was going to be home all day and got my tablet. She came out from under the bed and headed up the hall way. I picked her up and put her in the crate. She didn't seem to mind. She did mine the trip a little. We got to the vets about 30 mins early. We were greeted by the resident cat.

This cat sat in my lap and was right there checking on Sophie. Sophie went to the end of her crate, but didn't get upset or hiss.

We ended up waiting about 45 mins. I was okay with that as long as she got to see the vet. She dug herself into the crate. While we were waiting, they called our vet to see what shots she needed. About 5 mins later they called me to tell me they could get her in tomorrow!! I couldn't believe it. Patrick said, "at least they called you back."  I cancelled the appointment for Friday.

We finally got in, and they all were wonderful. He checked under her tongue and noticed something. He then put her under so he could check it out. She had a double wrap of the blue thread around her tongue. The ends were twisting like a tourniquet. That wasn't good!! If we would have waited till Wednesday it would have been a lot worse. He told me he was worried there was thread down her throat, and if that would have happened it could damage her insides. I didn't want to hear that! But it's all my fault she was in this stage. I didn't put my bobbin away, and she found it. I'm so thankful that I got her in today! Now I have to wait till tomorrow to go get her. I'm so thankful today!! There is a LOT that could have gone wrong! I came home and put my threads out of reach for her. I'm going to have to make sure I keep doing that! I cover my beads on the table, I'm going to have to put the thread in the box at night.

With a day like today, I wasn't able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
