The Cat's Day




The Cat was exhibiting symptoms of an eye problem that he has had in the past, and we did not have any medicine for him. We could not do anything about it on Christmas Day, but on the 26th we called our Vet in Boulder, to fax a prescription to an animal pharmacy in Phoenix. It took numerous phone calls and a couple of visits to the pharmacy, but we got what the cat needed. The bad news was that it was time consuming and frustrating. The good news is that it was inexpensive.

I had hoped that I could resolve the issue of the cat's medicine in the morning, but it took until mid-afternoon. This meant that we did not leave Arizona on the 26th, as we had planned. I called the park in California to change our arrival date, and to Tom to let him know our reschedule. We will all arrive in California on the 27th.

In the evening, Marianne and Eileen watched a movie on TV, until Marianne went to bed. Richard worked on Eileen's computer, setting up the printer so that it would print 4 by 6 photos. Richard wrote up an instruction for Eileen on how to do it.

Richard took Mike and Liz's two dogs for several walks. Rather, they took him for a walk, towing him down the street by their leashes. The dogs are not small, but luckily, Richard weighs more than the two dogs put together, so he can control them. The dogs seem to worship Richard, lying by his feet.
