Poor Brando……no poor me. We drove up to Possum Manor West yesterday, and Brando got car sick. Want the gory details? If not, stop reading. He was in the backseat when he decided he had to throw up. So he put his head inbetween the front seats and let go. All over my shirt…all over my shorts….all over my right arm. I stopped to see if I could clean things up (thank heavens I already had a sheet on the front passenger seat for Xena to sit without having he seat become covered in hair.) When I got out of the car, I realized that it was also down inbetween the seat and the console, including all the mechanics of the seat belt. I could not clean it up in the gas station parking lot, so why put on a clean shirt. I had about a half hour of travel left, so I opened the window and gagged all the way. He felt fine.
SOME ODDS AND ENDS
I am having breakfast in a coffee shop in Bryson City. I brought my MIni, figured out how to change the connection, and am enjoying a strong cup of coffee, actually a second cup. I might stay here all day.
I just noticed this yesterday morning. This is bear claw marks on the deck rail. I don’t know if they are from that time I took the photos, or maybe they are new.
I took Boogie to the vet yesterday, just for her annual expensive stuff. She is fine, but needs to have her teeth cleaned. She is the sweetest, laid back cat in the world. So, while we waited I unipped the carrier and she looked out. I snapped this picture with my cell phone, but did not realize what the flash would do. Pretty funny I think. I made it the background on my phone.

Brando DOES always have kind of a “duh” look, doesn’t he?
Most of our dogs manage to yakk away from humans (fortunately), but our latest foster dog DID piss on Patti’s foot (and yes, i did watch it without saying a word)
That cat picture, though…you need to have that blown up to very large poster size and hang it on the porch rail That will take care of scary bear!

The cat picture is something you can put out for Halloween. Guess you won’t be taking anymore pictures of the cat. Poor Brando. Hope he is feeling better. And you. Did you get the mess cleaned up? If there is still a stain and odor, buy some “Capture”. Lowes carries it. It works great for pet stains and odor. I use it all the time when I have messes on carpets to clean from the dogs.

I’ve heard that “Nature’s Miracle” is great for pet stains and odors too. (http://www.naturemakesitwork.com/home/index.php) You can get it at PetSmart.
