The day started with my hearing the Princess's voice when I woke up. She came over for coffee after dropping Chewlee off at school. It seems she had inadvertently packed all her cups, forgetting about morning coffee. She wasn't totally out of it because she was thinking she had cups in the RV but they aren't ready to move into it just yet although they closed on their house today. They had built into the contract that they had closing plus two days to move out. They will probably be in the RV tomorrow, however.
What was funny was that between the Princess and myself, we managed to persuade the Beast that his two brown walls in the living room and dining area HAD to go. Since he is going to be repainting both the living room and the kitchen next week, we slowly but surely convinced him that they just wouldn't go with the new colors. *Grin*
The Princess offered to help the Beast paint as long as I watched Gunner for her. Oh, really? Did she think I would say NO? ROFLMAO!!! She may regret her offer with all the painting she has to do in her new house but, hey! She is only hoping they will be closing next week. It may happen then but probably not until the first because of the way they prefer to schedule their payments. I doubt it will take more than two days of painting with both of them working on it. I will help clean the trim up since it's in good shape and white, which we want.
After all the plans were made, the Beast took Baron to the vet's. The vet had a lot to say about everything. The spots where the hair on Baron (and it had scabbed up a bit) was an allergic reaction to flea bites. It seems the Beast has been lax about putting the Flea and Tick stuff on Baron since he was using a Flea and Tick shampoo. The vet told him that doesn't offer any protection, it just gets rid of any that Baron would have on him at the time. Baron will have the worst of his fatty tumors removed on October 6th and will have to stay overnight.
He's going to take a biopsy of the tumor on Baron's paw when Baron is under the anesthesia. He doesn't want to remove it since that would mean that Baron would most likely have to have a skin graft to cover the area since some of the skin is adhering tightly to the tumor from Baron's constant licking of it. If the tumor is benign, he will just leave it and monitor any growth which he doubts would happen.
I am so relieved that it's all been looked at and the surgery is scheduled now. The vet told him the same thing I did....once the big tumor is removed (and the two other fairly large ones), the small ones will be reabsorbed by his body in time. As for what was causing Baron to make pain sounds, he has no idea since he wasn't showing any obvious signs of distress and no fever. He told the Beast it may just be some discomfort he felt when he lay on the large tumor for any length of time or some digestive distress. Only time will tell.
I think Baron will be coming home with one of those cones around his neck so he won't lick his sutures. That will distress the Beast probably as much as Baron. I'm just glad that I won't be leaving for the airport until the day after Baron comes home and he will probably have his stitches out before I come home.
I'm drinking some of my Cinnamon tea since I read a study about drinking coffee late at night interrupting circadian rhythms. I've also lowered my lights since that plays a part also. I love my Cinnamon stick tea (thank you, Carol!) and still have a few boxes left. That should last me all winter long. It always seems to help my chest if I have a cold. But I just plain love the taste and couldn't find it at any of the stores here locally. It's not because it's Alabama because I couldn't find it in Ft Lauderdale or Port Charlotte either. There are just some things you find yourself having to go to Amazon for. I never even thought of that but Carol did....LOL.
Well, love you all. I have a doctor's appt. tomorrow so I need to get to bed. It's just for a test but they called today to ask me to come in earlier than originally set up. *Sigh* Be good and please drive carefully. Watch your weather and be prepared. ***Hugs***
