Good fences; good healing

On  a day while we walked the golf course, the dogs ran towards the outer fence. I was snapping the resident horse and managed a couple of fence images.

Sniff sniff!

The past week while nurturing and nursing Ambrose back to health, I became quite concerned: his Dad Ginger and Unca Shadow had been shunning him. Perhaps it was the smell of anaesthetic or the dressing OR the fact that Ambrose growled ferociously every time anyone came near him. Ambrose has never been a needy cat - meaning that he's never needed human contact. In fact, whenever we tried to stroke Ambrose, he'd pull away. He's always had enough cuddling, playing and cleaning from his Dad Ginger and Unca Shadow. 

While he was recuperating from the treatment and suffering with pain and discomfort, he allowed me to cuddle and stroke him; even gazing into my eyes as if to say: "why am I hurting so, Mum?" 

Yesterday I was thrilled to see that Ginger was licking and cleaning Ambrose like before.

HAPPY THURSDAY TO YOU ALL!

  13. I think they do smell anaesthetic! That seems to take a while to leave the system. Very sweet photo of the kitties, and the dogs look like they are having a blast!
