Mostly suck but...

Griff · 06-24-2016, 06:46 AM

A week of suck mostly.

A week ago we got a box of dead chicks from the hatchery. To be fair 4/15 made it.

We then had an awesome ADK hiking weekend. We went out on an overlook on Big Slide that may have been my best mountain moment ever.

On Monday our maintenance guy at work died at work. He was a damn good man from the former Soviet Union who would do anything for you. Strong like bull, I never saw heart attack in his future. He left behind a wife and 5 kids.

Clyde the cat had his leg amputated yesterday.

Sorry man. Those camping pictures looked pretty damn awesome though.

Hope next week is better

Sorry about your friend at work, and Clyde the Cat.

On the up side, The Griftopia clan is healthy and tight.

Damn Griff. Sorry to hear about all that. As for Clyde - Lucky, our furrbaby, lived to three weeks shy of 19 with three legs and she was an outdoor cat for her whole life.

Griff · 06-25-2016, 09:40 AM

Thanks man, he actually looks pretty good, if kinda naked and gross. The vet, who was our neighbor years ago, did a great job.

classicman · 06-25-2016, 10:43 AM

Front or back leg? Lucky lost her front when she was about 5.

Griff · 06-25-2016, 02:29 PM

back leg

Gravdigr · 06-28-2016, 01:57 PM

How is Clyde getting around?

Still a bit wobbly?

Griff · 06-28-2016, 07:54 PM

A little bit but he is smoothing things out. When he grows his hair back I think he'll look alright.

What happened? Accident? Cancer? He asked too many nosy questions like this?

The vet thinks he was hit by a car. This morning he jumped to the top of the chest freezer to get his food using the assist rug that we had to drape for his sister. He seems to be on the mend. I haven't heard him growl at the wound in a couple days.

Go Clyde!
