Keely had fairly major surgery yesterday — it was something I scheduled way back in October, but the vet is so back-logged due to the pandemic lockdown last year (LAST YEAR OMG 2020 IS OVER????) that they could not get to it until now. It was just a tooth extraction, but a deep one, and Keely is now very stoned and also pissed off at me:
The vet I use is one block away from my house, so I don’t need a car to get there. When I strolled up to walk Keely home, they brought her out and Keely was super happy to see me as her liberator for about .03 seconds before she remembered that am also the one who dropped her off there. At that point she walked out the leash as far as it would go and turned her back to me! 😂
Even the vet tech commented on how mad Keely was! Still is, to be honest. I tried to get her to go out and pee and she was just not having it. So instead I gave her some soft food and her meds and she plopped down to sleep it off some more. With her back to me, again. I’m feeling the pain, I really am.
I know it’s been a while since I updated here, but I don’t even feel guilty about it. 2020 was a rough year and January ended up being no better. Nothing like an insurrection at your national capitol to kick off the year, eh? Sheesh.
I want to get back to some normalcy, some life continuity, some mile markers in the long slog of modern living. So here we are, walking down Keely’s Way, again.
Thanks for hanging in! I have a lot planned for 2021 and if you are subscribed to this newsletter, you will get sneak peeks of it all before I even hit up twitter. Unbelievable! Well no I hope it is all very believable…
