The dishes are done, the kitchen is clean, and my bed is made. Yes, Shiva decided to remove himself from the bed for a few minutes. Here is a picture of him resting on the way to the food bowl.

‘Scuse the carpet, it gets vacuumed tomorrow. Six animals can generate a metric ton of hair each week. It’s a never ending job.
In my last post I mentioned Ares’ eye. We still don’t know what happened to him, but his eyelid really started to get red about a week ago. Then it started swelling… really puffing out big. When it got down to his muzzle, we decided to take him to the vet Friday morning. Poor guy looked like he’d gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson.
The vet looked at him and thought he saw a foxtail inside of his eyelid, so we left him there to be sedated and checked. Well, the vet didn’t find anything in there, but he did have an ulcer on his eye, and the swelling was just huge. So, he sent him home with some antibiotics and some eye gel stuff for lubrication and pain relief.
I am so glad that Ares is such a good pill taker. No arguing with him, just tip his head back and pop the pill in his mouth. He gets treats afterwards, so he looks forward to that. So does Apollo, because I give him treats as well. Anyway… it’s been nearly a week, and most of the swelling is gone. I can’t take him for walks yet, because he wears a headcollar, and that would hurt!

Apollo really wants to go somewhere. This is him barking at me to take him somewhere. He gets really excited when he thinks he’s leaving the house. Next week we can go, I’m sure Ares will be better by then.

Now I can relax, have some lunch, and hang out on the computer guilt free for the rest of the day. Well, at least until Will gets home, I promised him some World of Warcraft time after he does his homework.
