Ring-what?



today a veterinarian came to my house and looked at one of my two cats for approximately 12 seconds before they both scratched, hissed and hid until he left.

during those 12 seconds and due to my very detailed descriptions of their condition the vet was able to diagnose my babies with ringworm.

ringworm! ew! so now we know where the scaly skin, non-stop licking and color-changing nose came from.

i have to go to a human pharmacy and request a prescription for a patient named "poki" bc they are able to take a human anti-fungal drug. (ringworm is actually a fungus, not a bug) that should go over well.

now of course they are sleeping like little angels and i just want to hug and kiss them... not without washing my hands immediately after - ringworm is quite contagious. :(

thank you dear.

and thats pretty much how it went at CVS. the pharmacist kept saying "pookie the dog" and bri kept correcting her.

it was awkward.
