Vet Followup + Partial Eclipse
Apr. 8th, 2024 09:42 pmWe made it through the wind storm! It was pretty nasty overnight on Saturday, but no damage to our building. My mom had minimal damage at her house - the fence between her neighbor's and her patio came down and will need replacing, and she had some collateral damage to a few planters. A little decorative fountain fell over but doesn't appear to have broken. No downed trees or structural damage.
The worst for us was that the elevators were out on Sunday morning! Our power had gone out a few times, but always came back very quickly, but apparently one of the outages kicked the elevators offline. It was tough to have to help Cy down the six flights of stairs, but fortunately we only had to do it once before they were fixed.

Cy had his followup with the vet/his annual shots today, plus we brought Bella in at the same time to get her shots for the year.
He's doing well! We think the anti-inflammatory was making a difference (he's been out for about three days, and has seemed a bit stiffer without it.) In order to keep him on it, he does need a blood test to make sure it's safe for him long-term. He got a new px for it, but we'll find out after the blood test results come back whether he gets to stay on it. I hope so.
Both of them did really well with their shots. Cy was a bit lethargic right after, and just wanted to take an immediate nap. Bella was hyped up right after, but I think started to get a bit sore a few hours later.
We'll go back in another three weeks for Cy's lepto booster shot (Bella had hers last year, so she only needed one dose) and I really hope that's the last vet trip for a while.

Our vet appointment was at 11:20. The solar eclipse started at... 11:28, lol.
Here we only maxed out at somewhere between 60 and 70% coverage for the eclipse, so it was a noticeable change in the light quality, but not extremely obvious. (I would love to actually experience a total solar eclipse... maybe in 21 years!)
The vet office did have a few pairs of eclipse glasses, so when we were done at around 12:00 they shared them around so we could go take a look at it. Even if it wasn't nearly the experience of totality, it's still a cool thing.
I did the thing you aren't supposed to do and took a picture with my phone again. I still love that it captures the little tiny eclipse lens flare, ha.
And while it would have been more dramatic with the trees leafed out (we aren't there yet), even the scrubby branch shadows got some crescent shapes in them.
