ER Event Du Jour

Welp...the week wouldn't be complete without a natural pet disaster in our home. Tuesday night, minutes after I had two burners running on high, steaming broccoli and boiling pasta, George jumped up onto the stove top and burned his little mitts.

Fortunately, the burns were superficial enough that Babe, M.D. was able to treat our patient at home. And, when the doctor wasn't looking, mummy (who isn't an RN but plays one in real life) rubbed some organic lavender oil on Pilgie's pads.

Daddy is generally a little snotty when it comes to holistic health practices so we sometimes deem it necessary to run covert medicinal operations.

And Mummy, who wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Morgan at Georgetown Vet and the kind physicians at Friendship Hospital for Animals didn't have her name on a list for suspicion of Münchausen by proxy, was relieved to bypass her weekly emergency visit.

But for now, our tlc (and a smidge of lavender oil) seem to have our little nutcracker on the mend. By tomorrow I'm sure he'll be back to screaming around in his 500 sq ft circus tent.
PS...Don't forget the Bonanno sale started yesterday and only runs thru Saturday!

    Dear Allie in Gtown,
    With such a chic perch to recover on, I am sure kitty will be better in no time. Thanks for sharing, Denise P.s. I have noticed I use way too many exclamation points in my comments and have imposed an exclamation point moratorium.

    I am actually in the library and have been in here since about 8 a.m. I took a quick lunch break. I have been keeping my eyes peered for any new items that may be mentioned in here.

    Poor baby!

    I just got home after a dinner, and there were old Country Life mags scattered all over. Connor had freaked during the one thunder clap we had and burrowed his way into the basement.

    Cats generally freak me out, but glad yours is ok. I used to live on Whitehaven Parkway... for almost 4 years. I miss DC so much.

    The needlepoint bench was purchased at La Bastide in Charlotteville, VA
    http://www.labastidegifts.com/
    It's lovely to look at but cheaply made. It's our second one, first one broke w/in a couple of months because we actually dared to sit on it regularly. But, the shop is very lovely and carries our fav, Simon Pearce. XXOO
