Surgeries

Betsy’s is today, Lizzie’s was yesterday.

Dr. Baer removed a tumor from Lizzie’s neck and gave us a med for her arthritis. I subscribed her to their pet care program. Next October, her annual inoculations and office visit will be pre-paid. We have a follow-on appointment later this month. Ashley was her usual gracious, efficient self.

After telling me that Lizzie needed a harness, Ron was annoyed that I bought one, claiming that he “only wanted to save money”. We had Teddy’s old harness, but it was much too big. Anyway, the staff member at Baer was extremely helpful, custom fitting the harness to Lizzie.

Of course I paid for Lizzie’s pet care subscription, meds, harness and surgery. Ron in the meantime is still chasing down his 107 pension, having failed (once again) to inform of his change of account.

So much for being attentive to money.

We did some more weeding of the last veg garden plot.

Ron drove me home and back to get my truck fixed. Turns out, in doing the smoke test, the tech had to clamp some areas and forgot to remove one. All’s well.

We went to Walmart for iron tablets for me and a prescription for Ron. I did very little yard work today but did get NEPS running on the new computer!

Tonight’s Planning Board meeting, which I was able to view online, started out with a public character assassination of an elected official. Sickening.

Last of the Storm Debris; Halloween

We made the final trip to the transfer station with tree debris.

I continued weeding the last garden.

Tried a gas pump at a different station, had the same problem. Booked an appointment to have the gas tank vent cleared.

Someone helped themselves to about $15 of candy and treats on our front steps – better them than us – but left a handsome brass soccer pendant in return. Nice addition to Ron’s shield.
