Oscar's day at the vets

As you may have gathered by the page title today is a really big day for Oscar. It is his turn to go to the vets for an operation. Max and I got the idea that something was going on last night because Joan cleared our food dishes away very quickly in the early evening. We usually have dried food available all the time but it was gone as well and all we were left with was a drink of water overnight.

Poor Oscar kept hunting for his food (his main hobby is eating!) and looking soulfully at Joan in the hope that she would realise we were all hungry. By this morning we were really getting hungry and it was clear that there was no breakfast on the horizon.

Max and I began to hatch a plan to call the RSPCA to report Joan for severe neglect. Yes OK, we know she was quite willing to play with us but failure to feed us must constitute some kind of crime surely?

Just before 8.00 am she went and got one of the carrying boxes, popped Oscar into it and took him out into the garden. We were just ready to go for the telephone to ring the RSPCA when she came back in and gave us both breakfast so we were OK.

She returned about an hour later without Oscar so Max and I gave each other knowing looks - we can remember when the same happened to us. Max's eyes started to water just a little at the thought!

We are now anxiously awaiting news of how Oscar is feeling and we hope he will be back with us soon so that we can commiserate.

The weather this week has been really hot - hotter than we have ever known it. We stay inside during the day whilst Joan is at work but in the evening we snooze in the shade of the garden as it is just too hot to run around.

Last night was hotter than ever - in fact it was so hot that Joan thought we should all sleep downstairs as it was cooler there. That did confuse us a bit because we thought that the downstairs beds were just for us to bounce about on we didn't realise that humans use them occasionally for sleeping!

12 noon
We have just had a telephone call from the vets to let us know that Oscar's operation has gone well, he has also been microchipped and is being a really good boy.

He is sleeping at the moment but should feel well enough to come home to us later this afternoon. It has been very peaceful this morning but we have worried about him so it will be lovely to see him back where he belongs!

2.30 pm
Oscar is home! He looks a little dazed (and his legs won't always go the way he wants them to) but he is back. We both welcomed him home and I was bit concerned about him but he set about slowly checking that everything was just as he left it so he should be fine by the morning!
