It has been beautiful weather the last few days. Sunny and warm but not hot.
Thursday we had book club here at our house. I put Cowboy and the dog in the bedroom and turned on the "Price is Right". He was fine until it was over, then he comes out and is kind of wandering around over behind the sitting area listening to our discussion. He went back in the bedroom and then came out again and did the same thing. I sensed maybe he was hoping it would be over any second and we would break up. We managed to just let him do his thing and not worry about him much. Then the dog started barking and we let her out and she just proceeded to make friends with everyone in the room.
We were supposed to go to a pot luck Thursday night and I even prepared my dish. Then I realized I just wasn't up to it so we didn't go.
My help came yesterday instead of Wednesday. While I was getting Cowboy dressed and fixing breakfast at the same time (back and forth, back and forth) I went to the closet. Cowboy has a chair in his closet where he sits and contemplates what he is going to wear. He was sitting in his chair and there was blood all over his foot, his hands and dripping onto the carpet. I grabbed some towels and water and started in and found he had taken a pair of hair cutting scissors and tried to trim a toenail and cut his toe. I got him to the shower and washed it really well, put some antibiotic ointment on it and bandaged his toe. There was blood dripped from the closet to the shower, in the shower and of course on the carpet. I took lots of water and diluted the spots and dabbed them up. It actually came up pretty well. Probably because it didn't have time to soak in.
In the meantime Tracey arrives, my neighbor that walks our dog showed up and breakfast not not on the table. Needless to say I lost some time right up front for my day out.
I went to a lovely ladies coffee and enjoyed that very much. Then I got the car washed, my hair cut, went to Hobby Lobby for some ribbon and then only had time to go the grocery store and then home. whew !
Last night I soaked his foot really well and washed it with this prescription antibiotic soap we had from the last infection he had and put him to bed. This morning his toe looks fine. Will be keeping an eye on it for a few days. I can't think of anything more nightmarish than another bad infection, espectially on his foot.
I had bought some potted mums about 3 weeks ago and one of them lived and the other died so I bought another. I put it in the ground this morning and hope it will live. I need some color.
Had hoped to have time to look for something colorful for the patio but no time.
Will be working on the picture project today and doing laundry.
Cowboy ate a really good breakfast, is on his third cup of coffee and seems in a good humor.
