Oh yikes, I'm a day behind with everything! I had plans for Sunday, shot down by Rick. He wanted me to go with him to McGregor, to look at a truck he heard the dealer there had; supposed to be just like his that got wrecked. Well, it wasn't; not 4-wheel drive, and diesel; he doesn't want it. Then we went to Waco, to several dealers there; then to China Springs, to visit a friend of his from ten years back (I stayed in the yard and played with the dogs, it was a short visit); then to Lorena so he could talk to his first ex-wife; also got a bite to eat. He promised we'd be home by 1:00 and didn't make it back til almost five! It was a beautiful day to go truck shopping though, and all the dealerships were closed so you could just go look.
Monday I cleaned cages. I couldn't believe I'd let them get so sticky! I even gathered up jingle balls and monkeys and washed those. I'd bought a bolt-end of fleece from Walmart for about $2, it was just the right size to make two floor fleeces -- they fit perfectly. So now I have three for each cage. I like that, I can change them out more often.
I held Shikoni for most of the morning before I started cleaning. He's been such a good little guy, he doesn't fight the medicine any more so it goes a lot quicker. When I started cleaning I gave his pouch to Mama and she held him for about an hour; she said she could feel him moving around, so he wasn't asleep but seemed to be very content. By then his cage was done. I closed Washi and Kioko's pouch and gave them to her to hold; she was sewing, and every time she moved Kioko yelled at her, so I put them on the chair while I finished. Then I kept them under my shirt for most of the afternoon, til I started cooking.
I made cordon bleu out of thick pork tenderloin slices -- boy was that good! Had a thinner slice also that I cooked for the guys; it was too thin to stuff. They love the tenderloin! So do I. Gave the three of them half of it, so there's plenty for another day. Also green beans and kiwi. Shikoni still isn't eating everything, but getting a little more every day. He's done with the antibiotic on Thursday; there will be an awful lot left. I hate to throw it away, but you can't keep it. I'll call Dr. Gosney's office to make sure it's for ten days and not till the bottle's empty -- that would be a month and a half!!! Surely not!
Have to figure out how to get Shikoni to eat nopalitos - prickly pears, very high in calcium. I can't put them into an omelet because Shikoni doesn't particularly like eggs however I cook them. He's the fussiest of the three; Washi eats anything he can get his little hands on. Kioko does too, but not as greedily.
