From the sneezing and snorting to the loud obvious statements such as "There's a fish!" and "That tree fell in the water" we managed to scare every fish in a 2 mile radius. He's a nice dude but his I swear if he had a super power he'd be most like the The Grand Galactic Inquisitor from Venture Brothers shouting obvious statements through his voice box. IGNORE ME!
We dodged a bullet the other night. We have two "unfixed" female cats that got out a couple months ago for less than 6 hours. Both came back preggers... which was just awesome. Well, 3 weeks ago, the Black one went into heat again after displaying signs of being pregnant for almost 2 months. Sweet! I looked it up and the all knowing internet says sometimes cats will have a fake pregnancy after getting it on or if there's another cat in the house that is pregnant. So... 2 nights ago I get to midwife the frikkin grey cat at 2 am cause the wife couldn't stay up any longer. I go in and find the first is still born in the corner and the second is mewing furiously while mom is chowing down on some afterbirth. Those of you who say through childbirth will know the smell... it's the same. Anyway, one good, one not. I stay up for a while longer then head back to bed when she starts labor on the last one... the wife has gotten up at this point. 3 hours later the wife comes back to bed saying she's still at it and the tail is sticking out. I read up a bit on what to expect and knew that it should only last 90 minutes or so and that something was wrong. Of course, being a man, the first thing I think is "How much would emergency services at the Vet cost." Anyway, I'm a little upset about the first one that I carried off and kinda pissed that I'm the duty vet for th evening. I get up though and head on it... sure enough there is the tail. I wait until the next good contraction and pull a bit. Do this twice more and out it pops... mutant kitten. I won't go into details but when the wife yells "Throw it Away!" you know something went a little wrong. That wore on me most of the day yesterday as it ain't something you see a lot but like the good daddy I think I am it wasn't there when the chirren woke up. We called the one who made it "Lucky". Mommy brought him into bed with us last night. It's gonna be a great 6 to 8 weeks.
Anyway, they're off the the vet in 2 weeks to get fixed. I use to think those fuckers wanted $600 for the pair of them for the "well visit", extra shots and the surgery. The fact that I could have had 10 - 12 kittens and only wound up with one makes me think $600 would be well worth it... of course if someone has a coupon for a free snip and tie, please let me know.
WoW and maybe some Xbox tonight though after 2 days fishing I think the wife will want some "me" time.
