Back from CNY
www.wpclipart.com/animals/P/pig/pig_toon.pngIt really sucks to be back at work after such a nice long weekend….now why didn’t I take the entire week off!!!
CNY was, like always, a food fest. This time, it was even more, since the cousin-twins celebrated their 18th birthday on Sunday.
However, which holiday is complete without some sort of drama, right?
Monday morning, I woke up, to help mom with some light house cleaning before the relatives arrived for their annual CNY visit. I see Pepper has learnt how to reach up to the sink/counter at the back of the house. I scream at her, and she leaves. Suddenly I catch her nibbling on a very familiar piece of chewed up box. One squint and I scream!!! It’s rat poison!!! She doesn’t know why I’m screaming and thinks I’m playing with her. I somehow manage to grab her and throw the box away. She doesn’t have any symptoms, although I’m not sure what exactly those symptoms are. Parents look very worried and we try calling the vet. Fortunately he answers. We had to give her 10 egg-whites, force it down if she doesn’t eat it. She eats anything, so that was pretty successful. Then she was rushed to the vet. She got 3 jabs, and medication that we’re suppose to give her everyday. If she poops blood, we’re doomed. Luckily, she is ok now. She doesn’t fuss to take her medication, although she hates drinking this purple-vitamin drink. It must taste yucky, can’t blame her.
