Squeaker is feeling better, but it has been a long week. It turned out that she had both the flu and an ear infection. Unfortunately this means we could have kept posting photos of her sleeping on the couch until Wednesday or Thursday. Squeaker is feeling better now. She has been a little weepy all week. Being sick is no fun.
The real heartache for Squeaker this week was not being sick, but getting a playful scratch on the hand from one of our cats, her beloved Dolley. I say beloved, because of the four cats in the house, Dolley is the only who likes to be around her and the only one we don't chase away from her too. She goes into Squeaker's room with us in the morning and tries to slip in at night when we put her to bed. So getting scratched by Dolley was traumatic even if it was a light scratch.
Squeaker needed some comforting but eventually went down for her nap. She woke up and had Brite put a band-aid on her hand. After that Squeaker spend the afternoon trying to play with one hand. Worse than that actually, because she would hold her 'hurt' hand tightly with her good hand, so tightly that she couldn't pick up anything with her hand because of the other's grip. Eventually she begged Btite to take the band-aid off. She seemed to return to normal after that.
We here in Squeaker-ville are excited that spring his here. Have a good week.
