Waking Up on Wednesday


A much too early start to a day when I stayed up too late the night before. I'm off work today, and will be taking CarrieAnne to the vet for her yearly check up.  When I greeted Cissy this morning, she gave me her usual "rooo-rooo-rooooo" and rolled over onto her back.  When she did that I noticed that her skin was red.  Cissy's skin sometimes gets irritated from the folds of her stomach that traps moisture, and after a day or two of patting cornstarch on it to keep it dry, it's just fine.  So, I grabbed the cornstarch and as I was putting it on her stomach, I noticed the slightly different texture that had turned slightly sticky and pasty from the moisture. And so I added a little more and that's when I saw it ....... The box I had in my hand wasn't cornstarch, but powdered sugar -- In my early morning haze, I had grabbed the wrong box from the cabinet. Of course I cleaned everything up with help from Cissy and a few onlookers who I think may have been laughing at me behind my back.  
~Annie, in March~
I can only hope that the vet seeing CarrieAnne this morning is a little more awake.  Enjoy your Wednesday!

  12. Oh no! :) She'll be trying to sweat just so you'll break out the sugar again.

  13. Sorry, we're laughing here. Nice to know others do those things. At least the vet will think she's sweet.

  15. LOL! Too funny, Kim!!
    No complaints from Cissy!!
    This is interesting as Sophie is having a problem too with moisture causing infection in those hidden areas. Never thought of corn starch to keep it dry. Will consider after infection is gone. Thanks and hope you had a great day off....after you woke up!!

  16. That's funny. For a change it wasn't me. I hope she dries up and doesn't need a vet trip too.

  23. LOL!! I'm so glad I came to visit today!! If I would have made that mistake with Gracie she'd have herself licked raw (if she could reach it) That's how much she loves sweets! Thanks for the laugh, Kim!

  32. Thanks for the laugh! I was worried at first, that maybe there was open skin or a more serious problem. So nice, it was just a slight mistake. So funny. I am sure Cissy loved the extra attention!
    Hoping all went well with Carrie Ann.
