Thanks, guys. He's having neck surgery, we're hoping he'll have less pain/better mobility afterward. We moved down here two years ago, but it's still tough on him and the surgery is making him extra-emotional.
Morning all! (It's still morning so I can say that... I had to check, lol). I literally said good evening to someone at the store right before I went to work yesterday at noon. I am worried about myself.
I am at work all day today, hoping it goes by quickly!!

Ran to the grocery store for brunch and chili stuff. Halloween candy was cleared off the shelves and they were stocking freaking Christmas candy. But I found Mounds and M&Ms for 50% off! The rest looked gross ... pumpkin spice Hershey's kisses and candy corn M&Ms among others. Yuck.
I had to chant "I love my cat" to myself this morning because he wandered around the house meowing for a half hour at 5am. He had been fed (both wet and dry food) so he must have been bored or something. Doesn't he know normal people sleep at 5am on Sundays?!

Ah, but it was 6 to him!
No, he always wakes us up at five. The difference is at least one of us is up with him getting ready for work versus everyone (including the dog) being in bed.
Cats are evil. One of mine chooses certain nights to run around the house making a blood-curdling howl. We'll find her and try to bring her to the bed, but she runs away. So we go back to bed, and she howls again. Rinse, repeat. You have my sympathies, rablissful.

Blah. Vet is probably not able to see the dog today. She's trying to find somewhere to squeeze us in, but I don't have high hopes. He seems to be doing OK, other than the coughing every couple of minutes, so it's probably not that urgent.
Google says to use honey as a cough suppressant. Anyone tried that before?
Edit: Oooh, the internet is magic. 2 minutes after I hit post the vet called back and got him an appointment in about an hour and a half.
icedtea, I know exactly how you feel. Being far away from family during times like that really sucks. I hope the surgery goes well and you can see him in person soon!
It was pouring and flooding here last night, the chances of TOTs was low, so I actually turned off the porch light and enjoyed a movie night at home.
Also, I cannot believe it's November! Where did 2015 go?!?

I'll take Christmas commercials over Political Ads. It's the mayoral election year here and since I live on the border of 2 states we get all the commercials.
I asked J to teach me how to put air in my tires bc the damn low pressure lighthas been on for a few days. She ended up doing 3 of them and then suggesting I try on the 4th. She's the best!
And yes, I suck at all things car related except for what she has taught me. So I can change a tire and now inflate them. Winning.

As long as honey is safe for dogs it may help. If I have a nasty cough I'll eat a spoonful of honey in between medicinal doses. It does help.

The article I was reading on it said it was safe (in small quantities, because it's basically sugar) and should soothe some of the irritation in his throat. But I didn't get a chance to ask the vet when I dropped him off.
