AH FER JEEZ!

 Thanks a whole bunch Sharri!!!!  Laugh away!!!  I'd like to see you, or any of you, be forced to do this.  I am not happy!!!

I went to the pet store the other day and they were out of frozen jumbo mice.  Figures.  So I am about to go right now to get them.  She said the freezer would be full by two today.  And it's a huge freezer.  Like how many snakes are in this freaking little town?  Thats a lot of snakes needing a lot of mice!

Monte was ambulanced down to Victoria to the cardiac unit in the hospital there last night.  He should have been shipped down two weeks ago in my opinion.  They have already given him an echo cardiogram and now they are giving him a cat scan.  They should be able to give us a diagnosis later today and a plan of action.

Monte told me yesterday that the ambulance and nurse were picking him up between four and four thirty.  So I went up there and waited.  At around five they brought him out, all hooked up to intravenouses and strapped onto a stretcher.  They not only let me go over to him to give him a kiss on his forehead but they let me climb into the ambulance with him and chat for ten minutes.  It was so heavenly for both of us.  Who knows...at the moment I was thinking that if anything happens to him down there three hours away, this would be the last time I would see him.  But he seems to be in amazingly good hands and they know what they are doing.

So I am off now to get freaking mice.  I will report back later, both about the feeding and Monte's diagnosis.  

They didn't have jumbo mice!!!  Only little baby fuzzy ones.  She eats two of those.  TWO!!!  I HAVE TO FEED HER TWICE IN A ROW.  OH NO!  ONCE WAS NOT ENOUGH.  NOW I HAVE TO FEED HER TWICE!  WAAAAHHHHH!  AND I HAVE TO FEED HER TONIGHT WHEN SHE POKES HER HEAD OUT.  AH MAN ALIVE!!!!!!

Okay.  First Monte.  He does NOT have a blood clot in his lungs.  He does NOT have a torn artery in his heart (they think).  And they aren't sure about artery disease, which is doubtful at his age.  So in other words, they don't know.  Typical doctors.  I am not really blaming them...if nothing shows up, nothing shows up.  But he is still all hooked up, on morphine and adivan, and blood thinners.  Today I do believe they will finally do an angiogram, which I do believe they were trying to avoid.  So, we are still in wait and see mode.

Now the snake.  Oh jeez!  I finally did it.  OMG!!!  And I don't ever want to again!!!  Those wee mice were so cute, dead and frozen.  I felt so bad for them.  But Smooch, the scary part, stays dead still and then when you dangle a mouse in front of her she freezes to the spot, and then suddenly, with no warning, leaps out and snatches the mouse and wraps herself around it and freezes to the spot again, mimicking killing it.  I almost had a heart attack!  I did take pictures which I will put below.  If you don't like snakes feel free to not look.  I did a video but I missed the whole thing. In my terror I forgot to look at the screen and make sure it was pointing in the right direction, but, you can hear me.  It was the second mouse I fed her.  But due to blogspot the video may not load.  Stupid blogspot.

Anyway its all done now and I have absolutely no intention of ever having to feed her ever again ever!  Stay safe and noodle.  TTYL (Aryn and Sharri I will do the next segment of good living  in the next post.
