Mugged?

Ang rang me at 7.15 this morning. She seemed happy and said she wasn’t going to drink today. Got up and took dogs out for a wee. Buster was better today and wanted to stay out longer. Had coffee and Ang came over so I could take Dainty for a walk. Took her around the estate and came back and took out. Got back and Buster had dislodged his dressing so I had to remove it. His wound had a lump at one end that didn’t look right and we decided to contact the vet to take a look at it. Visitors were due to give my injection so had to wait for them before I could go to shops to get money out for taxi to vets. They didn’t arrive til 10.45ish but were really quick. Took Shadow to shops to get cider for Ang which slowed me down and couldn’t get to vets before 12 so made appointment for 5. Also lost £25 on way back. Got Dainty out for a second walk to the backwaters after taking Buster out for a wee. His urine was very dark. Ang went home and I had rest of chicken kebab from last night to eat. Managed to tempt Buster with a couple of lumps of chicken as he hadn’t eaten since the night before his op. Ang rang again because she wanted more cider from shops. She came and sat with dogs while I took Shadow to get it for her. Emailed Mum a couple of times about Buster and she gave me some advice about trying to get fluids in him as he wasn’t drinking. Finally got him to eat some food at about 2.30 and emailed Mum to let her know. Took both out on the green about 3. Mum replied and suggested some apple or syringe water into the corner of his mouth as he still hadn’t drunk. I tried the apple but he turned his nose up at it so resorted to a couple of syringe fulls of water. About 10 minutes afterwards he went and took his fill out the water bowl. Got a taxi to the vets and they examined the wound. The nurse thought it was a reaction to the stitches but when the vet saw him he said it should flatten down in a few days and we shouldn’t worry. Had to wait ages for a taxi back and it was another polish driver. Every taxi I take seems to be driven by someone from Poland! Got back just before 6 and took Dainty out on the green. Went over to Ang’s and took Shadow out. Watched the One Show when I got in and had some toast and chicken dripping afterwards. Managed to burn first lot as Ang rang while I was feeding dogs and cooking it. She was in a mood and very demanding as she’d been drinking all day. Had to leave Buster to take Shadow out for a wee. Buster was howling when I got back. Ten minutes later she rang saying she wanted some milk which I took over. I told her I was going to bed soon and not to ring me too early in the morning. Got back and took dogs out for a wee then put Spooks on and did this post. Hopefully I’ll lay in tomorrow as knackered again. Be glad when Ang stops bingeing as need her help with looking after the 3 dogs.
