Plant your hope with good seeds

So Hecky, my lil boy cat, went the vet today. He's been obsessively grooming and plucking his fur and he's looking a bit shabby. He started when the kittens came and it's only gotten worse. The vet confirmed my suspicions; my boy has anxiety due to being the low man on the totem pole in our cat hierarchy. And not because he gets bullied, oh no! It's because no one pays his attempts at domination any mind.

Olivia, my mom's old girl, puts him in his place real quick. The kittens roll right over him, being wild little Calico cats who won't be dominated by anyone. Hecky gets mad at that and tries to attack Penelope, who has no problem taking it to him, although he pushes it more with her than with Olivia. If anyone actually gets in a fight, it'll be those two.

SO. My lil boy cat now takes Solliquin daily. Fortunately it's a soft chew and is very, very tasty.

Selphie, my five year old pupper, was sick overnight a couple of nights ago. She's a good girl though and whined loud enough to wake me up so I could let her out. We got up at 1:30am, at 3:00-3:30am, and then again at 4:30am. I didn't have work the next day, fortunately, and she seems to be feeling much better. Murray, my other pupper, watched everything with round eyes; for being a hyperactive little maniac dog, he doesn't like change from our normal routines. Bless. <3

Red is fine! He's still limping a bit but he's using the wounded leg and is now a happy back yard dog.

Selphie is fine! The base of her tail was swollen and the vet said I caught it in time before it could become a hot spot. She either was stung or bitten by something. She was prescribed some things to get her back to 100% but she's good about taking medication. Or rather, she's suspicious when she gets treats laced with pills but she never manages to, like, not eat the pill, haha.

My progress in FFXV has slowed because I'm, like, obsessed with watercolors right now. I don't know what is happening but I want to paint so many things and so that's what I'm doing. I have another piece in the works. I'm really enjoying this. *___* I blame the materials. I bought a hardbound Strathmore watercolor journal a few months ago and am finally using it and because it's the fanciest journal I own, everything in it needs to be my Very Best Work...but somehow be done Very Quickly, lmao. It'll die down soon but I want to ride the high while it's here.

We fired the bather at work and hired someone I'd worked with at a previous job (when I worked at the vet hospital) so that's pretty great! But it seems like we've been so busy and there's been so much work to do and I'm just so tired. ;3;

They're all despicable.
