Brae. A gay woman's tale!

Well that was a weekend and a half! A great Friday night out with friends, the adapter in my car going on fire, meeting a lovely new friend, fun at the Mutt Hutt, Having to rush my cat Duffy to the vets to hosting a picnic for friends!

it had certainly been exhausting

Next weekend it starts again.., Perth Pride and night in a hotel so we can have a wee drink! I had better catch up on my sleep during the week.

Here is to great friendships… I am very lucky!

Duffys hip is badly dislocated… it was pushed up and forward and was the lump that the vet was worried about… full X-ray done and no internal damage!! He is staying in tonight to make sure leg sling stays in place … but I can pick him up tomorrow… he had to be caged for a few weeks though… but I’m happy… it may be a pain paying out all that money but at least my boy is ok!!

As years go, this is certainly one of the toughest I am battling through.

This morning I had a horrible wake up call to the sound of howling from the living room, where I found my beautiful duffy lying in a pool of urine.

It looks like he has had a traumatic force to his side … one of his back legs is twisted and there is a large swelling in his stomach.

I immediately rang the emergency vet but they need to keep him in to xray and assess the damage that has been done to him.  So far the bill is £900.

He is not insured, I don’t insure my cats, but I do have the money to pay for it, but this was money in my savings that I have other plans for (solicitors fees for the ongoing legal battle with my motorhome).

I don’t want to lose my beautiful wee boy … he is very special … but I know I have to be sensible about how much I can afford to pay to keep him alive … and as it stands it may be a decision that is taken out of my hands when they assess the damage to him anyway.  It is the internal damage they are most worried about … but I won’t know until later what is happening.

I am gutted … I have no idea how much more shit this year is going to fling at me … and I really just feel like disappearing.
