Rigby's Injured Toe

Yesterday, one of our cats, Rigby, got injured. 

It looked like one of his hind toes was fractured. I noticed it around midmorning. Initially, I thought his claw was just stuck to his other toe.


Most days, he would stay close to me while I work from our dining room. He didn't hang out with me yesterday, but I noticed his brother, Bowie, was always close to him all day. 

The mister was able to get an appointment at VetUrgency for 9 p.m. Their clinic closes at midnight.

He was seen by Dr. Doering, but I didn't get the name of the staff who took his vitals. They're both wonderful.


He suffered a dislocated toe.

Fortunately, his toe popped back into place while the veterinary technician was prepping him for his X-ray.

We got out of there at 10 minutes before 11 p.m. 

Rigby is still on pain medication from the swelling. He's not limping anymore and also eating well. 

So happy not he's n in a cast, as was the case when he was still a kitten in 2018.

Service for 8 GS

The mister and I went thrifting after work last Friday. I wasn't looking for anything particular, but I saw this pack of spoons. 

I found the knotted handle detail fascinating. I tried looking for a brand, and all I saw was a marking. 


Jay and I liked it. They were kind of heavy and not the traditional flat handle. 

The pack of 16 cost $3.49. 

While looking around, I saw 2 more packs—a pack of knives and forks. 

All three packs go in my cart. 

When we got home, I checked the world wide web on any information on my newly thrifted flatware. 

OMG!

We got a total of a service for 8 GS Gourmet Settings
