Well as each day goes on, Bubbles and Fizz are getting more used to each other. We found them both asleep on the old mattress that is lying in the spare room waiting to be taken to the tip. Ok they were at opposite ends but it's a start ;)
Fizz did really well at the Vets, she was so curious and constantly trying to get off the table so she could explore. She utterly charmed the vet who, spent a while cooing and fussing her. She wasn't too impressed at being poked with needles but she forgave him :) I however, ended up with more scratches everywhere as she wanted to get free.
I should really take some pics of them all, they look impressive right now ;) The Vet looked at her claws after I started bleeding and said "uh-huh I think we'll clip those claws" lol. She's now a joy to hold and be jumped on by now she doesn't have those needle tips!
While we were waiting at reception to have the bill made up , she burrowed under her towel and lay there peeping out. The receptionist dealing with me melted and then the other ladies had to come and look too ;)
Then the ultimate humiliation on my part, I'd chosen two breakaway collars as well until I can get the ones printed with my number on and I realised I'd left my purse at home :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
Thankfully they know me well and found it funny and said "oh just pay next time you come or phone us when you get home with your card number". :-D
Dinner time last night was fun since both of them started to eat then turned their noses up so we had a funny 5 mins of trying to persuade them. Eventually we found them both under the table in the dining room avoiding us ;)
They are still having hissing spats but they are getting fewer and a lot of the time it's when one surprises the other.
Poor Fizz was so worn out by her ordeal at the vets and also dopy from her injections she spent most of yesterday evening flaked out. She came for comfort from me (YAY) from time to time - My husband took a pic and will post it in the photo section :)
Phew long post - sorry!!
