Pierre: Hey, Ashton.
Ashton: Hmm?
Pierre: Want to hear a joke?
Ashton: Sure.
Pierre: A cat walks into a bar–
Ashton: What’s a bar?
Pierre: Well… I’m not sure. I think it’s like a house, but has more peeps in it.
Ashton: How does the cat open the door?
Pierre: What?
Ashton: Well, does the bar have a door? Our house has a door, and we can’t open it to go out. You got closed out on the porch and couldn’t open it to come back in, either. So how does the cat open the door to go into the bar?
Pierre: I don’t know. It shouldn’t matter.
Ashton: But it does matter. I need to visualize this.
Pierre: Well… A dog opened it.
Ashton: THERE’S A DOG IN THIS JOKE? I changed my mind. I don’t think I want to hear this.
Pierre: *sigh*
Ashton update: We got new compounded liquid Baytril yesterday, and Ashton won’t touch it voluntarily. So much for it being compounded into an appetizing flavor! The head peep got one dose into Ashton, but afterward, she wouldn’t even come into the kitchen to eat dinner while the head peep was in the room. We have no idea how anyone will get hold of her to give more of the 13 remaining doses, but we’ll try to think of something.
You guys….
Pierre, I think you may have been hanging out with Waffles!
We’re sending purrs to Ashton…good luck with those meds, buddy!
xo,
Glogirly, Katie & yes, even Waffles
Dogs are goofy, they fun to joke about. Maybe you can finish the joke later.
I don’t know if it’s already refrigerated, but if you can refrigerate the Baytril it may not have as much bad taste. Good luck!
Oh Pierre…don’t you hate when your joke is ruined like that? MOL!
Purrs that you figure out a way to get the meds into Ashton. Us cats are tricky, aren’t we?
The only way Mum can medicate us is by hiding it in something with a strong taste – does she like cheese?
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
No joking around…Ashton, take your meds!
Gosh, we sure hope you can get the medicine into Ashton. Can you gently scruff her?? Scruffing does not hurt them. If you can there is a way to get the pill down her.
Sending lots of purrs that you figure out something.Take care.
There’s one in every crowd, right, Pierre?
Hey, my mom wonders if the new medicine can be put into some baby food. That might work!
grate joke guys 🙂 !!!
N yur mom mite wanna put de medisin on a plate….then cover it with some canned foods …if yur a loud ta eat em…let de canned foods absorb de liquid…dont stir it..just let it kinda sit N soak up…if ya stir it , it will smell like de medisin…this trik werked on gram paw dood bak when….best fishes
Oh dear Ashton please baby girl take your meds. WE know all too well how hard it is but please. xoxoxo
Pierre, dood, nice try. But sounds like somekitty is just a bit too literal. There’s always one in every crowd….
MOL on the joke!
About Ashton…..maybe your peep can sneak up on her when she’s sleeeeping? It’s not very nice, but sometimes the Mom’s friend does that to Jewel…… We wonder what the heck they put in that med. Jewel doesn’t seem to mind her compounded one too much; the Mom says it even smells like fish!
That was a very sweet post! Thank you for the gentle smile today.
I am so sorry about the AB not going down well. I fully understand what that feels like. I will keep you in our prayers.
Love,
Lily, WA USA
MOL! You two are funny.
We tried to think of a joke but it just always ends with a cat happy inna sunpuddle.
We allus do pretty good with pills crushed into cream cheese…
now we’re all curious about the joke 😀
Oh, Ashton! we sure hoped you would take these new meds! We are purring for you!
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
Maybe you can get Pierre and Newton to give it to her. They seem pretty tight with her. Damn, I wanted to hear that joke.
Mum has the same idea than Hannah and Lucy : hide refrigerated Baytril in stinky food with a strong taste, like cheese (stinky tasty true one, not the gentle orange or yellow slices for burgers !), liver pâté, spam, … Purrs and good luck
I like to zap a dose in with a syringe just before feeding time so they’re distracted. then put the bowl down and shazam! they forgot what happened. Love the joke. Even though you didn’t finish it, still laughed. – Crepes and Alana.
oh no poor you! Poor Ashton! Hoping you were able to figure something out. The joke and the post surrounding it was just darling!
Oh…we really wanted to hear what happened to the cat in the bar! Sending purrs and good thoughts Ashton’s way and to the Head Peep…we hope that she will be able to take the liquid med somehow.
Oh Ashton, that stuff is VILE tasting. Bitter as gall!
