I don't believe it

I talked to my dad after he came back from his hospital appointment and basically, after checking the Holter, they are not sure if he is tired because he is old or because of his heart, so they thought it might be silly to put a pacemaker just on an assumption.  My dad said it was better to let nature follow his course, what can be interpreted in many ways and didn't specially please me.
The doctor told me (funny slip of the tongue) him to relax and sleep and see how he is after that. It's true that the coming of my little niece stressed them a bit.

As for the title of this post : I don't believe it . . . 
Well you won't either.

Last evening, I was preparing the girls food. Bubbles gets wet food and Rhea gets dry food that I need to measure carefully and weigh so she doesn't put on weight. I don't know how I managed but I dropped the small container I just weighed and all the kibbles fell on the kitchen floor. Of course I had to go on my four to pick them up. I gave a couple to Bubbles who had her nose on some and I gave some to Rhea. I don't know if when she saw me taking the food away she thought she wouldn't get any, but Rhea started being very upset, hyper-ventilating and stressed. Cuddles and so and then food, but it didn't really go away.

Later on she was still panting and asked to go onto the sofa, what we allowed. When it was time to go to bed, we took them both to our bedroom so everybody can have a normal night. I put their baskets close to me, Rhea calmed down and fell asleep.

This morning they didn't wake me up so when I woke up by myself at almost 8, I though they were really kind. When she heard me move, Rhea's head went onto the bed and she got cuddles. I thought Bubbles was still sleeping close to Dennis. Dennis woke up and said no, Bubbles is on your side. I had a look and said no. We thought she went downstairs. Then I suddenly sat on the bed like a devil out of his box and I had a look on the side. I could see a nose and an eye emerging from under the bed. The eye carried the message : please don't be mad.

Oh . . . and mad I certainly was. You need to invent a new meaning for mad. I couldn't believe she was stupid enough to do it for the 3rd time and also to manage push all the books I had put to avoid that. We jumped out of bed and thanks God this time Dennis was here to lift the bed with me. It made a cracking noise, but didn't break. If the girls had pocket money, Bubbles wouldn't have any until the end of her life in order to potentially pay for a new bed.
She managed to slide out of there, rushed downstairs to pick up her monkey and came back with a low wagging tail. When this kind of stuff happens, I swear she has a stupid smile on her face. I never could get a picture because I am too upset when it happens.

So that was our nice way of getting up this morning.

We went to the park again separately with each girl. I can see coming a visit to the Vet next week as Rhea is licking her front paw and although there absolutely nothing there, I think she does it because it hurts.

A different way of looking at the park


Take care everybody, xxx

PS: Each of you at different times is showing so much care when I feel low, I really appreciate that and I hope I can return the favor if you need it one day.

I can't believe Bubbles has done it AGAIN. She is a real tinker.
Poor Rhea, I'm glad she is happier today even though her foot is bothering her.
I really feel for you about your dad. It is bad enough him being ill without you being so far away.
I'm sending more hugs for yourself and Rhea.

*waggles finger at Bubbles but doesn't really have any impact as she has a little smile on her face too*

What a mischief!

Poor Rhea, I hope she isn't in pain for all your sakes xxx
