Doctor Granny in action — Six Word Saturday —
.
my six words:
Our Karen's nineteen-year-old cat, Amber who lives with us, was losing weight and not eating. What to do? We really thought we might have to in the VERY NEAR future have her put to sleep.
We took her to the vet who promptly took a blood sample. The diagnosis was that she was low on several of her ionic minerals and other type solutions in her blood.
The vet gave her an injection of LACTATED RINGER'S solution in her upper back skin, showing us how to administer this. We were then told that we should give her a 100 mls Subcutaneous (under the skin) injection of this solution once every week or so as needed. The injection contained 600 mg SODIUM LACTATE ANHYD, 310 mg POTASSIUM CLORIDE, 30 mg CALCIUM CLORIDE DYHYDRATE, and 20 mg IN WATER FOR INJECTION. Also could contain HCL (acid) or NaOH (base) for ph adjustment.
In the picture to the right above you can see how Granny Mrs. Jim gives the injection.
Amber got her new life, Number 0010 (ten), as she had just used up her ninth life.
After the third injection she started eating again, really good and more than the former two cans that she was only eating part of. And she gained a weight to seven (7) pounds from the 4.5 pounds when we took her to the vet. And once more she runs around upstairs playing with her toys.
Amber lives upstairs in our loft type large game room. She comes down with us when we are home. First we have to pick her food as Katrin (link to Katrin and her antics), our toy poodle, licks her food dishes clean (Amber is on an all you can eat diet). At bedtime she goes up again to sleep and we close her gate.
Do you remember Dr. Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies? (link) I still watch the reruns. I think many of you might too!

Sort of
Sort of a slow day, he could tell
he stayed in bed till almost nine
coffee in the pot getting stale
was still hot he teased his senses
Awake enough to eat a bite
what would it be? a hard boiled egg
couple pieces leftover ham
and half a slice of toast with jam
Glass of juice completed his meal
sort of

Patriotic?? — MidWeek Blues —

..Not really. But please notice the water tower with the U.S. and Texas flags.
There is one flag on each side.

The trouble is that patriotic people pay their taxes. The owners of this restaurant, the Ransom's Steakhouse and Saloon in Montgomery, Texas, had not been paying the appropriate business taxes. The taxing authorities swooped in and shut the place down and padlocked it tight. Then came the barrels in the driveways.
"...the state of Texas placed a tax lien in the amount of $11,824.37 for unpaid employment taxes dating back to early 2010. A second lien was filed on RSAS Holdings in March in the amount of $15,763.61 for delinquent taxes." (link: YourConroeNews.com[Courier News]) Also according to the Courier the Ransom's owner was behind on his construction loan, food supplier payments, and salaries to the employees.
I didn't go in. My physical therapist said they served really good food. Too bad they didn't pay their taxes. Now I won't be able to eat there.

"O Gee," Bostik said, "I hope no one recognizes us in this eerie get up."
"Bos, Bos! Dear Bos!" cried Mostik. Someone just shot the Boss.
