As I write this, our last surviving cat, Mogollon, is at the emergency animal hospital in Windsor, awaiting eye removal surgery. More on that in a moment. First, we took the taxes of Deb's mom to H & R Block, a tax service chain, to get done and submitted. Deb went in with all the material while I sat in the car reading, and watching nesting birds in the various business signs at the strip mall go back and forth. That took about an hour. Next, we went to her mom's bank. Deb has been paying her mother's bills as we receive them. That was quick, only about 15 minutes. Home for lunch, then a relaxing afternoon. Almost.
Deb found something on the floor. It turned out to be part of Mogi's eye, the dead right one. The lens had come out. His eye had been oozing for several days, but that was not unusual. Finding part of his eye on the floor was a bit unusual. Off we went to Windsor, to the emergency vet. As the province of Ontario is in a shallow form of lock down, and the virus is beginning its 3rd rampage through our area in a year, we could not go in with him. We sat in the parking lot for 3 1/2 hours, waiting for the vet to see him, and then awaiting results of all the tests she had ordered. Surgery is forthcoming, either tonight or tomorrow, depending on how many other emergencies they get which might get priority over our poor little Mogi. We should know more by tomorrow morning at 9 am (Saturday). He is 17 years old, and hopefully up to this event. If not, we have seen the last of our little buddy.
I'll get around to our viewed movies next time, and perhaps some more art. Ending with some good news, Deb and I both had our first Covid vaccinations on Wednesday. Deb got the Moderna and I received the Pfizer. We both had sore arms for about a day afterwards, but no other side effects. We are not scheduled to receive our 2nd dose until the end of July.
