Cruising cats: visit to TED
Ahoy,
Because of the ineptitude of their two crew members, Rosie and Cinder had to see TED today. Before we left, Jim & I had purchased enough Revolution to last several months. We wanted to be sure that the kitties would not be tormented by fleas that we may track onto the boat, or heartworms from the mosquitoes that we are bound to encounter during our journey. Having invested a considerable sum in this product, we now realize that we don't remember where we packed it and we can't find it. What to do? Not knowing where we will be next, we can't order more from the Internet. There was only one option left. I looked up TED offices on the Internet and found one in the area who had Revolution. The catch is, even though we had recent health certificates, TED had to see the cats before prescribing the medicine. Well, remember, we came by boat and don't have a car. Fortunately, one of our neighbors with a boat on the same dock also live in the area and offered to loan us a car. They also have a cat onboard, and totally understood our failure as crew. Rosie was napping out in the open, and I got her into her carrier with only minor resistance. Cinder knew right away something was up and hid in Rosie's den and suffered the indignity of being dumped out onto the bed and then stuffed into a carrier. At TED's, they were subjected to the dreaded thermometer in the nether regions and drops they always dislike immensely put between their shoulder blades. I think they will be discussing how hard it is to get good help. On another topic, it appears that the weather will allow us to leave the dock tomorrow morning. We will be heading from Galveston, Texas in the direction of New Orleans, Louisiana. Much of the Gulf Coast from here and Mississippi was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina. Not only homes, but marine related businesses such as marinas were destroyed or damaged. We expect to do a lot of anchoring out for the next several days. Annie, crew for Rosie and Cinder |
