Update on the Oscar Update Update....good neighbours...or not.

Well, Oscar is sick. He has pneumonia, and we are concerned. He has been to the vet and gotten a long acting Penicilin injection, a B12 shot, and an anti inflammatory. He perked up by mid afternoon, drank almost half a litre of milk/formula, and was skipping around and having fun. He woke up Sunday flat again though, and has been again throughout today. He will probably go to the vet again tomorrow. It seems the road from lamb to Ram is only travelled by about 80% of newborns that don't get neutered in their first week of life. Most newborns do get that done right away. Otherwise, Oscar is loving life at home. He has adopted the old leather couch in our sitting room (we call it "the Nook"), because it is a foyer like room that comes in from our garage that is too small to be a living room or dining room, (although I think it was built as a dining room) but has a sofa and a coffee table in it. It is nice and cozy for visiting with friends or sitting quietly in the morning with a book or laptop and a coffee...or with a baby lamb snuggled next to you. Which is the most amazingly warm thing.

An elderly neighbour lady came over this evening and told us (didn't ask, lol) that she was going to take baby lamby and bring him through. She grew up on farms and with animals, so we have accepted her "offer". She is a lovely old thing and she and her husband would give you their last cup of flour or egg, (they have actually, although when I did ask for AN egg, I got half a dozen.)

Speaking of neighbours...We have some. They are all pretty good, but some unwittingly are not always that way. There is one particular house where a Malamute Husky lives. He is a lovely dog, and is very friendly, especially when i give him left over bones and stuff. The problem is, when the owners are gone to work all day, he howls all day. I think that a new boyfriend has moved in and he doesn't work, so lately ha has stopped. We shall see, as I start my week of nightshifts tonight, so will be home all day. Sleeping. We shall see. Get this though, last Thursday night, the stereo with subwoofer came on at...11 pm. Stayed on until 2 am. Called police at one-ish, but I don't know whether they came or this eejit had a sudden onset of common sense. I am thinking of watching something with lots of noise, like maybe a dvd of an Opera, at full volume on my 5.1 surround sound Home theater system (wharfedale speakers!) at about 7.30 on a Sunday Morning. With my patio sliding doors which open directly towards this neighbours house, wide open. WWJD?

Anyway, hope all is well with all, and will post more.
