The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Well at least you talked directly to the vet, so he'll know what's up.

I think he probably thinks I'm a big pain in the butt and a loon to boot... wanting him to advise me what to do over the phone. "How should I know what's wrong with him, crazy lady?" ~sigh~

I need some cholesterol medicine ;~D.

My Oliver is prone to have urinary tract problems. Every now and again he'll start displaying symptoms. I panic, truck him off to the vet. They keep him overnight for tests and observations - only to find nothing. The false alarms present symptoms like the real deal so I can never tell. I'm sure vets everywhere are used to that kind of thing.

Sounds to me like Cartman may have tangled with another tomcat.

It sounds like he was burning off some adrenaline. My two cats don't like each other very much and will ocassionally fight*. You can't get near either one of them afterwards until the adrenaline is gone.

*Less frequently since the dogs have come into our family. It's an enemy of my enemy is my friend-kind of thing.

Typical kid behavior. You think they're dyin' and when you get 'em to the ER thedoctorandnurse look at you and say "why did you bring this child here?"

Jr. fell off the couch backward when he was about a year old. He was turnin' blue. By the time we got to the ER we couldn't keep him from climbin' on things.
