It began badly with Sparky-cat vomiting on my feet. Luckily, said feet were naked and were planted quite firmly on the tiles of the conservatory. The floor was a doddle to clean, the feet a little trickier.
My concern was not for feet or floor, rather for Sparky. She settled down to sleep for a couple of hours, which allowed us to get the two grandchildren off to catch the school bus.
Grandson was returning to school after having the sickness bug that is apparently circulating at the moment. Granddaughter was fine, but grumpy.
All was well until suddenly Sparky appeared and vomited again - at precisely that moment the phone went to say that Granddaughter had been sick at school and would need to be collected and cared for.
She is now tucked up in her bed, bucket at the ready, water to hand.
Sparky has taken herself off somewhere and can't be found. I wonder whether this is it for her and if so, she has chosen to do things her own way.
Oh dear...not the best way to spend the day. Hope both granddaughter and cat are soon recovered.
ReplyDeleteHello WER, Frankie has been a little better today, thank you. Sparky lives on to fight another day.
DeleteHard day. Good recovery! Greetings!
ReplyDeleteEverything seemed to happen at the same time, but they are both a little better. Thank you, Katerina.
DeleteOh what a worry over Sparky. I hope she'd just eaten the inedible bit of a mouse. Worry over grand-daughter too. Hope they are both better soon.

DeleteSparky has reappeared, she is much scrawnier but demanding the occasional tidbit. It is a good sign when she stays around. Frankie is well on the mend.
I hope Sparky is soon home and granddaughter soon up.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne. Frankie has eaten a little today, kept it down - she is on the mend. So is Sparky.
DeleteNot an easy day for you. Hope both patients get well quick
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. Frankie is young and recovers quickly, thank goodness. Old Sparky is fragile, but she has enjoyed some poached fish and a few morsels of chicken - she fights on!
DeleteWhat a morning! Hope all is back to normal today!
ReplyDeleteHello Anon, Thank you. Monday morning, both grandchildren well enough for school (hurrah!) and Sparky is a bit skinnier but eating well again.
DeleteIt's bad enough when our dog in sick, generally over the carpet in the bedroom but I am glad we don't have grandchildren I don't thnk I could cope with them as well. It seems to me that grandparents get to look after them now. I really can't see my lads having any, they need to get a girlfriend first.
ReplyDeleteHello Billy, My daughter and her husband both teach - they leave home a little after 7am each day and often don't get back home until 6pm, sometimes later if there are meetings, parents evenings, etc. It sometimes feels as though we are still working, but it has kept us on our toes and active.
