Well, there was a bit of an event that happened with Little Bear. We took him to the vet on Monday they for some reason are only open from 1pm-6pm. That is a little odd but the vet seemed nice and is very close. I think we will take all the babies there for the shots. Anyway…. He has an eye infection (which is common with animals from the Humane Society) we got stuff for that and to watch if it gets to the other eye or the other babies eyes. So far knock on wood, we are all fine. We bought a cute red collar for him to put his tags on with a little red bell for George. George was no as excited with the bell as he was when he first moved in with us which turned out to be good. Well Little Bear had made it clear he did not like his collar no matter how cute he looked in it. John made sure it was snug on him no too tight and eventually we went to bed with boys only since Chuta is having problems with him still. George will chase him and Little Bear will turn around and chase George back. They are pretty good with each other except when it comes to food or Little Bear trying to lay on George. Michu doesn’t like him at all. If she sees him she will hiss and growl. This is a bit on improvement from when he first came all she had to do was hear him and she would growl and hiss. We had them lay near to each other and fed kitty treats for a bit and that went well. She is still not happy. Any way back to the story, we were asleep and Little Bear kept thrashing about. At one point George growled and I grabbed him off George and put him next to me. A little bit later he woke be up again thrashing about. I rubbed his ear and thought it was weird he was acting that way but fell asleep again. A little later he woke me up and I felt his collar and found he had somehow worked in into his mouth. I woke John up and he turned on the light. The poor little thing had his collar wedged in his mouth over his tongue and the clip was in his mouth. John said to grab the scissors to cut off the collar. I finally got my finger thru the collar and wedged the scissors under it and sniped it twice since it wasn’t an easy thing to cut. He was finally free.

I got quite a bit of scratches all over my right arm and hand from him before we wrapped him in the covers. Little Bear fell asleep and did not get up for quite awhile after his ordeal. I felt guilty because I should have discovered it sooner and I had no idea how long he was like that. John felt guilty because he knew Little Bear did not want a collar on at all. We both felt a little better he was in the bedroom with us instead of having this happen outside the bedroom and we wouldn’t have been able to help him until we woke up for the night which is usually around 4am. He of course has bounced back and is just fine. We are still recovering. John got scratched too. We peroxided our wounds as best we could and John found some extra long band aids to put on my scratches to cover them if nothing else and we went back to sleep around 10pm. That morning when we got up we stopped at Wal-Mart to get first aid supplies and went off to Marlins in Tea for something to eat and doctoring. John was super good at it and we put triple anti-biotic ointment on it and some great big gauze bandages and a wrist wrap to keep all the bandages on me while I slept. We went to vote then ran around a bit and got home. I sat on the toilet and poured the peroxide down my arm again then John fixed me up and we went to sleep.

We got up and went off to Red Lobster for all you can eat shrimp that will be ending soon. I felt I needed the extra pick me up since my arm hurt. It is red and my hand is a little swollen. We just cut his nails that day before this happened. After shrimp we went home and watched some TV. I was getting tired again and went to sleep for a nap. I got up around 2am. I decided to air the wounds out and before I went to sleep again we did it all over again new band aids we everything and peroxide. My arm stopped hurting so far and is just red. I have photos on this blog.

I have had my wrist wrapped so eating was not fun. John had to cut up my omelet at Marlins. Luckily Red Lobster was finger food. Today at work I took my ointment to keep the scab soft but did not wrap my arm. My hand is too deep not to cover. I rest my hand on that part so it is easy to get dirt in it. I put a knuckle band aid and ointment when I got to work and so far it has not hurt.

What a weekend!!
