There's been gunfire, there's been drinkin'

So today we get to put the Melatonin to the test. Heard the first thunderclap at 3pm, whereupon Spike plastered himself to my leg and said "MAKE IT STOP PLS." I persuaded him to swallow one 3mg tablet wrapped in hamburger (thank goodness I taught him an "eat it" command, because he was far too worried for hamburger - but he is obedient.)

He's now coiled in the bathroom on a pile of laundry looking sorry for himself. I get the feeling the storm isn't going to last, so it'll likely be over before the melatonin actually kicks in; but it'll give me a chance to watch its effect on him, anyway.

thank you again, cottonmanifesto.

awww, poor spike. :( hug him for me please.

I did.

...he's shivering and panting. He doesn't seem quite as wild-eyed as he sometimes is. I think the storm might be over, now.

and thank you again. how's Miss Maggie and her mouth doing?

[cottonmanifesto.livejournal.com]

she seems better but still not opening her mouth all the way. :(

Poor baby :(

I guess she pulled something? Weird. Sending her love.

honestly, i wouldn't have thought that possible if you'd asked me last week.

Me neither, or else Spike would have done it before now. I would have thought a splinter much more likely. I'm glad she's a bit better though. Poor Maggie.
