All I could hear was their potential dialogue: Gracie: What is THAT? Oliver: mmm, yep, that's my new thingy! Gracie: *stare* That last picture just made me laugh out loud. All I could hear was their potential dialogue:

Gracie: What is THAT?
Oliver: mmm, yep, that’s my new thingy!

Our normal vet is getting the paperwork faxed over and will call me tomorrow to discuss. He's had an abscess before, but nothing of this scale. Sometimes he and Gracie play a little rough, and I think she might use claws, as she's smaller than him and can't just overpower him. Michael: 1. yes, thank goodness! (If you ever get a pet, I really recommend finding the nearest emergency vet and keeping the number on the fridge--it really helped us, as I knew right where to go and didn't have to freak out and look online or something.) and 2. yeah, poor buddy. Sabrina: 1. I know, it is kind of adorable in a pitiful little way. and 2. I read online that because cats heal so quickly, when they get a bite or scratch, the wound can heal over the bacteria, and it can become infected. Kristin and Marianne: I sure do hope this is his last one...I will have to ask the vet if there's anything we can do to prevent them from happening in the future.

I know it's not supposed to be, but I think it's super-cute that he's wearing a cone collar. 2) And yes, what causes an abscess and so forth? 1) Awww, poor Oliver!

I really didn't know (having never owned an animal without the intent of eventually eating it). (2) Awwww...poor little guy. (1) There’s such a thing as emergency vets?
