The Red Man was subjected to the tricks and treats of Hottie Doc Numero Dos once again today…note the pins stuck in moi while Helper Girl pretends to be nicey nice by dispensing cookies on the scales of injustice. Sweet Lady Gaga. Whatever happened to good ol’ Western medicine with its few pills here and there? You got me. No, seriously…the old woman Slow got me with another acupuncture treatment at the hands of Hottie Doc Numero Dos.
I fear Pretty has forsaken me, but of course Slow always takes me to the 4 Paws Animal Clinic when Pretty is at work. There is no end to her treachery.
What goes around comes around, as Granny Selma was fond of saying and brothers and sisters it came around to Slow today.
Her Lady Gamecocks were hosting the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament this afternoon and Slow was the designated Advance Peep to save seats for the Gang of Five going to the game together – all with general admission tickets which meant seats were up for grabs.
Game started at 5 p.m. and Slow got to arena at 2:45 p.m. Unfortunately, fans weren’t permitted to grab seats until 4.00 p.m. She stood in line all that time. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
She amused herself for the first half hour by taking pictures of Coach Dawn Staley who stands in a larger-than-life banner watching over the restless fans.
By the time she had stood in line for one hour and fifteen minutes she didn’t even know which end of her rally flag was up. Pathetic. Thankfully, she was able to stagger into the general admission seating and get excellent seats for the Gang of Five who were appropriately grateful.
The Lady Gamecocks won big (81 to 48) which tickled Pretty and the other Gang members…but…this is how God punishes evildoers:
When everyone got up to leave and began to pick up what they’d brought with them, apparently, according to Pretty who is always truthful, Slow couldn’t find her cell phone. She looked under her seat, under Pretty’s seat, on the row behind her. She searched high and low…and then searched again. The cell phone had vanished.
Not vanished exactly. And The Red Man is still laughing at this one…the cell phone was in Pretty’s large souvenir Diet Coke cup that she had only half-finished. The cell phone was practically floating in Diet Coke in Pretty’s cup which had been on the floor between their seats! Hilarious. I am picturing their faces when they found it there!
One of the Gang of Five told Slow to put the phone in a bag of rice when she got home to Casa de Canterbury – which is where the phone is even as we speak. In a bag of Mahatma long-grained rice. The Red Man can hardly contain himself at the sight.
So the moral of this story is Karma is alive and well and living at Casa de Canterbury this evening in a bag of rice and if anyone was planning on contacting the old woman Slow by phone, I’d give it a day or two to see if it dries out. Honestly, that old lesbian is a disaster waiting to happen.
Catch ya later, Sports Fans. Have a fun weekend, and if you see Slow at Round 2 Sunday night, steer clear of her. She’s reaping what she sows these days.
Get me outta here Percy…I feel strangely perky tonight…a little extra pep in my step…hm…I wonder…

Oh, were you wondering about the acupuncture?? Oops…my bad…actually the acupuncture does seem to help incrementally…the vet also has him on herbs, too and now has given us a Rimadyl alternative so lots of changes for us…Red’s problem is his arthritis and stiffness in his back legs…he and Slow have the same problems – it’s called Old Age…will keep you posted!

My two paw sisters are old, Old Cissy is 13, and BonBon is going on 11, BonBon came to our family in december she could barely walk from sitting in a shelter for 2 years, she had stomach issues, and diarrhea Momwithoutpaws started giving her rice then slowly gave her Sportmix Lamb and Rice, plus she walks alot, not she has more strength in her legs. Momwithoutpaws had degenerative arthritis in her knees she knows how difficult it is to grow older. Keep us posted

Aha Fredrieka, so you are used to “old” issues in your family, too! Pretty has played tennis all her life and now has a left knee with only bone on bone so she must have knee replacement after Number One Son’s wedding in April. Yikes!
Your Momwithoutpaws is a saint to rescue BonBon and take such good care of her…really truly a saint.
Be sweet to them both!
Love,
The Red Man

Forgive me for jumping into this reply, but I wanted to let you know if Red’s stomach becomes a problem on the Rimadyl substitute, try giving him 10mg of over the counter Pepcid AC 30 minutes before getting the arthritis meds. It’s a trick my vet used in the past with my old stiff dogs. Made a huge difference in helping them tolerate the medicine.
Also, give Pretty my regards and love. Very sorry to hear about the knee replacement. We never think when we are young that the time will come to pay a tax on all we put our bodies through.

Ann, my vet has also put me onto the Pepcid trick with Red – these new herbs seem to be pretty easy on the old man’s stomach, but I bought a package of Pepcid just in case! It’s a good trick – thank you for taking care of The Red Man.
Yes, the biggest fault Pretty has is refusing to listen to Slow when it comes to tennis.
Pretty told Slow many years ago that she had tennis before her and that she would have tennis after her. That Pretty.
Nowadays she probably isn’t so sure about having tennis after her! 🙂
