Hello Possums (yes I'm really picking the Ozzie lingo!)
This was supposed to be a quick apology for my late upload of the next book .... big breath... however I have been busy.. oh yes, apart from the terribly thrilling hermit like days of contemplating my navel, counting the wrinkles on my face and wondering if anyone was going to put two and two together with all the goings on in the world, I house sat for my friend Meow Meow, who has a menagerie of animals that need feeding, look nothing spooky, just a few chooks, ducks , guinea pig and doggo.

Chooks laid an egg for me! |
We also had a bit of an emergency at home (no I did not call the ambos out of sheer desperation to see the hunky driver... puhleeseee... I go to the firestation for that! .. KIDDING!!! OMG.. people, I'm not that bad... yet)

I'm thinking really hard |
So I was having a bit of a rest ala "gone with the wind" (what! you haven't seen that classic.. what has the world come to !) anyway, I was lolling around on my chaise lounge when I hear BB yell out for me, sounded a bit dire, so I hustled out to the back and all I saw were two outstretched arms , and BB saying "take the phone, just take the phone ", I'm like " uh.. okkkk". BB says "it's the vet, I can't talk to them now" and dashes off to the back yard . I gingerly take the phone and say " hello?" long story short, its the local vet, she's giving me the name and address of the emergency vet's and instructions on the colour of the dog's gums... right.
So I dash back out to BB who is now cradling the doggo in her lap and I relay the address and then it hits me, we don't have a car because of all days today the car was being SERVICED! So I say hang on, I 'll go see if the neighbours are around. I slowly panted to the neighbours on the right (I'm operating on one lung ok, i get breathless fast!). "Hello! Hello!" no one is a round, right so then I duck to the left and I see our neighbour though his window, and tap on it say " hi, I'm your neighbour two houses down could you please give us a ride to emergency vets as dog is choking and we have't got the car today!". Our neighbour Brody bless him says, "yup let me finish up and I'll be right over.
I hobble back to our house (i was wearing my mankiest sweats , you know the kind, with the elastic all gone and some holes in it but boy are the comfy.... uh huh) anyway I get to BB, tell her Brody will be here in a bit, carry the doggo out and I'l be there in a jiffy as I gotta go get some pants on ( listen, murphys law and all that be damned, I was gonna wear a. proper pair of jeans and not embarrass BB and my daughter .. nuff said). so Brody arirves, BB grabs a towel off the line, we dash into his car, I totally forgot his lead and as we screech to a stop outside the emergency Vets, I have to leg it again inside( I must have lost at least 1 kilo yo) relayed to the vet nurse , "have a reactive doggo, barely breathing, choking on summink, forgot his lead, can you sort it out?!! " blink blink ...
"Yes of course" says competent nurse and organises for doggo to go through the back way. They get all the Vets on call and have a con fab. BB by this time is on the blower to Lan to relay the news, and of course the CAR has to be picked up! We do a tag team, after reassurances that it will be a while before doggo is taken to O.R., I stay behind at emergency, BB races of to get the car before closing time and Lan is 10 mins away from emergency.
Vet comes out to give me the news , and explains the procedure, the object is stuck stuck. First she gives me the good news, ok ok we can deal with this , it's fairly straight forward, then she hits me with the 10% chance if it goes wrong... my eyes go round like saucers, flash backs of when that eejeet doctor was talking to me ....no he was patronising me with the Radiation treatment and then got right into the after effects and the possibility of heart failure, breast cancer, lung infection... and I remember saying to the eejeet Radiologist Doc, "man you're really not selling this to me" ,... I digress, so I say "I've go to get Lan's approval a as it's her dog and she's ten mins away, then the Vet hits me with the price, my eyes teared up, uh.. it came to the same amount of my two day stay at the emergency hospital! ..
Anyway, Lani arrived within 10 mins of the Vet con fab with me, she agreed to the procedure, and then BB and her had to pay deposits as Vets had to get that first before anything was done. Yes policy. ahem
4 hours later, BB and Lan go pick up the doggo, who's getting anxiety from hanging around the hospital and groggy from anaesthesia, and show me the pics of what was stuck down his gullet.... poor thing.

Doggo is all good now! |
So yes it was all a bit chaotic for a few days but we're back to me binging on K-dramas. I'm halfway with getting the next batch of books done, thank you for reading my blog and watching my videos!
Love
