Well now that my Paws are a bit better I thought I would come here and tell you all about it My paws where really sore Then when Mum said we where getting them fixed I was so happy and I went in the car reluctant but I went We got to this great Place when I worked in hey there where all these other Pets there Cats and Dogs and later a Guinea pig whatever that is It was in a cage and a bit strange looking Well this was great Mum had brought me somewhere to play but then she was telling me of for causing so much Noise and for getting everyone into trouble I mean come on when I walked in they where all being boring so I livened it up a bit I was watching as they where all one by one going through a Door and coming out again, when they came back out I asked them how it was and they would say ok they are really nice in there Ok now come on I was getting bored, I mean , the Cat wacked me on the Nose just because I was putting my Nose through the Cat Box well I wanted to say Hello and play well Mum did warn me it would happen but I did not listen to her, the other Dogs where becoming boring because they didn't play like the ones before, great so how much longer do I have to wait. Well then the Nurse came out and yep it was my turn, I charged in and then ' OH NOOOOOOOOOOO, it's the Man in the green Coat, let me out now' i charged back out, but Mum was pulling me back in and the Stupid Floor was so slippy so I was sliding back in on my Butt and then they shut the Door. I looked at Mum pleading with her to stop them putting that Mussel on me I didn't want it. Mum had Tears in her eyes and then the Man in the green Coat sent Mum away, I want my Mum now, I tried to bite him but he had the better of me. I got sad, where is my Mum, I will never be naughty again, I just want my Mum. Well he did things and it was not just my Paws I will not say what else as it is to embarrassing, I just wanted Mum. Well then the Man opened the Door and there was Mum, yes she has come back for me, I do wish they would take this thing of my Nose though I want to give Mum a Kiss. Well they took it of and I jumped in my Mum's Arms, I was sleepy and I knew that Mum would take me home now Well we went out of the room and I just had to warn everyone of not to go in there, even though Mum said Shush , I didn't I had to tell them all I was so happy to be back home, my Paws still hurt but it was not as bad and I went to sleep happy to be back with my Mum at home Mum also went to sleep as she had to take her Pain Killer so we snuggled up and went to sleep So that was my Day at the Vet to get my Paws fixed The thing is though when I want Mum's attention I will look at her sad and lift the poorly Paw and Mum says "No Gissi, the Paw has been fixed so do not give me that" Well it was worth a try wasn't it, it worked when the Paw was poorly Now I have to use my energy up and bounce of Mum's lEg again to get her attention Ok I am of now Mum is coming back have to clean the Keyboard fast Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Love Hugs Gissi xxxxxx

well that person didn't help, being scared about jury duty does help either but I have no writing assignments coming in and no money and that scares me, I have no money at all for march after I pay my rent.

Hiya Gissi, it's me Pyewacket...gee, my cousin is sleeping..that gal is always snoozing...and on my mom's bed no less! Poor mom, she hardly makes her bed cause Kissy is usually on it, so she doesn't make her bed until she's ready to go to sleep Sorry I didn't write to you sooner, and I'm hoping by now, your paw is all better, is it?Sounds like you had quite a day at the vet, it was a shame the man in the green coat didn't want your mum around though, but maybe he figured you'd behave better without her around. Nope, that ploy never works..speaking of sitting with a sad face and raising your sore paw...I do things like that to,to get my mom's sympathy, but she knows better to be fooled. I've gotten better with my breathing..though did have a bit of a spell the other day, but right away my mom gives me stuff...and oh, yuk, she sticks this smelly stuff near my nose...but does open up my breathing. Oops now my mom is coming back....hope you're better now, and give your mum a lick for me...hope she's okay too. ((hugs))

Hiya Gissi Well as soon as my mom sees me breathing funny she takes out her jar of Vicks vapor rub and sticks it right under my nose....yuk---or sometimes she boils up water and puts some of the Vicks into the hot water and makes me breathe that.. A few times she popped open a garlic pill and put the garlic oil in my mouth....ekkk! But it seems to do the trick....She also gives me Petromalt, but think that's just for us kitties. Yeah, I know....Kissy is snoozing again...think I should go over and pounce on her to wake her up? Hugs from Pyewacket

It's so very nice to hear that you are on the mend, Gissi. I imagine a sore paw is every bit as troublesome as a sore foot, lol. Maybe on your next visit to the vet you will not be quite so apprehensive. Take good care of your mum(as I know she is doing for you), and try not to give her too much trouble.

Ooh, Gissi, I know what it's like to go to the Vets! I was there a couple times when I was younger but I don't remember it real well but I do remember what it looked like there so the last time Mom put me in that carrier and took me in the car I knew we were going a different way so I wasn't worried. Huh! I was wrong! I had some kind of rash that was making my skin sore and stuff and Mom couldn't get me in at the other vet so she took me to a new guy. Anyway, Mom takes me in there an all of a sudden I hear all this barking! I was letting her know all the way in the car that I was NOT happy about this trip but when I got inside there I was sooooo scared I didn't move or make a sound. I know Mom and my older Mom love me and all but I was really afraid she was going to feed me to those dogs. The vet - hey, he was a nice guy, but don't tell Mom I said so - he kept telling Mom how sweet and good I was because I let him do what he wanted, I didn't growl or hiss or anything and trust me, that wasn't easy! He looked in my ears and eyes, even my mouth, he didn't know how lucky he was there, and he did probably what you're embarrassed to talk about to me too. Gross! He gave me a stupid needle and clipped off some of my fur and put cream on it, then Mom put that dumb carrier up on the table and I hate to admit it, but I was so happy to scoot right back in. I did feel so much better after that trip, though. I had to make it look good and be a normal cat when Mom tried to give me my pills everyday, but you know how that is. I'm sure glad your paw's better now. By the way, there was no way I was going to warn those big loud dogs about anything! They scared me that they were going to eat me so let them find out for themselves. Uh-oh, now here comes my Mom...Bye! Sissy

Oh Sissy if I would have been there I would have protected you from all those nasty Dogs Next time if you ever have to go again just play it cool and ignore them because your Mum will protect you and not let them hurt you and tell them from me not to pick on you again

I'm NOT going to the vet again! but I know you're right, my mom will protect me, but don't tell her I said so, OK? I can't let her get too confident about my affection, I might lose some of my power over her if she knows just how much I trust her and how devoted I really am to her. Thanks, Gissi, and IF Mom ever tricks me to get me to the vet again I sure will tell those dogs they'll have YOU to contend with if they scare me. Annie

Awwwwwww Poor Gissi but you feel better now, lil one. They had to muzzle you so you wouldn't bite them while they were fixing your paw. The Man in the Green Coat just wants to help fix you and your friends' sore spots is all. If you would be good and not fuss so much, they wouldn't have to put that dreaded strap around your muzzle. Glad to hear your doing better, my lil friend. Lots of hugs, kisses and ear scratches.

Yes Gissi sweety i heard all about your visit to the vets and I know you didn't like it (specially the muzzle) but hey it was worth it to get rid of the pain in your paw right? I can just imagine you trying to liven everyone up to have fun! Oh by the way I told Mum on the phone earlier that you would probably still have a bit of pain in your paw so that you might still get sympathy! Please look after Mum as I know she isn't feeling too well right now and she really needs you to be good just now! Love you baby, Hugs xxxx

Gissi this is Abagail here I sent Petie out to the Groomers hehehehe I gave him fleas again. I will get him back for barking at me when I look at him in his bed at night. Petie is at the groomers and mom says he will also get shots. yayayaya it is him and not meeeeeeeeeeeeow. I am not bathered with the fleas but mom still has to put that oily stuff on my back where I cannot wash it off. Why does mom let the fleas be alone they have a right to live. hahahahaha Gissi it sounds like your day with the man in the green coat was bad. I am glad your mum was still there and did not leave you. I can tell you the mom that I use to have left me with someone who had a white coat and I ended up in the pet store to be adopted. I was there for weeks until my mom now came along to adopt me. I loved her from the start and purred when she picked me up. I knew she would treat me well. Gissi I am glad your paws are better. I had a fight one time and my face was pretty banged up. I have a scar on my lip, my left eye does not open all the way and my left ear tip is cut off. But guess what mom loves me anyway. Boy when I was banged up I was in so much pain. I now have a great life with my new mom, dad, and Petie and Sammy. I have been with them for almost a year. Yayayaya Gissi I am glad we are friends so you take care and let thoes men in Green coats take care of you so we will always have each other. Your friend Abagail meoooooooooow

Gissi, mum takes you to the man in the green coat because he can keep you well and bouncy. You know it is hard for her, too, but she does it because she loves you so much. You would not have to be muzzled if you had never nipped, I believe. You let her rest up, as she is worn out from dealing with you. You faker, you. Your paws will be good as new for awhile, now. Go bounce, and take good care of your mum. Here is a secret, though, sometimes people, like your mum, have to go get embarrassing things done from their vets as well.

Gissi, you have a way of doing that to me. Whenever you tell me your sad stories, I get sad, and teary eyed. I'm glad you're better though, and as good Mums and Dads, we sometimes have to take you to the scary place. We're sorry, but, it's for your own good. I'm glad you're on the mend, and Gissi, next time make me laugh instead of cry.

Hey but tell me... your paw is not hurting anymore now is it? So it was worth. My bailey went to the vet the other day too and I think that he might not want to go back any time soon, but you guys have to understand that if we take you there it's because it is better for you :):):) Love to hear from you gissi:)
