Back Off Ma Trash!

Last Friday Ali and I decided to pick up some thai food for dinner.  Well I was so excited to go get it that I forgot to lock the trash in the kitchen.  Big mistake.  30 minutes later when Ali and I got back home, there was trash all over the kitchen and blood on the floor, down the hallway, on the hallway baseboards and walls, and as we would shortly discover, staining the carpet in the bedroom.  Well...obviously (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtZfW2z9dw) Comet decided to rummage through the trash to see what morsels he could find.  Pistachio, awakened by the commotion, became interested in morsel scavenging as well.  Comet, being offended by Pistachio trying to profit from his hard work, could not let that pass and bit Pistachio in her most prominent feature; her ear.  He managed to create a tear about a half and inch long but he must have nicked a vein or something because there was blood everywhere.  Ali and I thought that we were going to have to look for Pistachio's lifeless body.  Luckily she was just hiding in a corner in the bedroom, bleeding all over the carpet.  Saturday morning we took her to the vet and she was prescribed some antibiotics to prevent infection and a cone.

The tear

 Don't you feel sorry for me?  Wouldn't you like to give me some food?

 The good news is that neither Comet of Pistachio sustained a major injury.  As of this morning, they're back to curling up with each other in the morning, so no love loss either.  The bad news is that seeing the vet and antibiotics aren't cheap.  Also, Pistachio remembers how to use the cone to her advantage (eg. ramming your calves with it to get your attention, particularly around dinner time).

Anyway, that's all for now.  I need to finish my final paper for international business.  Wish me luck!
