Monster went away first thing to the vet (again) for his dental procedure and the house instantly felt very odd without him. I didn’t like it.
So, I decided that I didn’t want to be at home and took the horsevan to town to buy a round bale of hay and a few other things. That took all morning.
I definitely know that Ted and Pepper missed Monster very much. I mean, who is going to tell them what to do and where to go (and yes Ted’s right eye is not very good – he had just had his treatment for dry eye which is now three times a day).
So later, while OH was fetching Monster home after his surgical ordeal, I did my afternoon/evening chores…..
…. while constanty looking at the road in the distance for OH’s car headlights. I needed to know Monster was coming home.
And he’s is just home now and seems ok. He instantly said he was hungry so I gave him something to eat and he is much happier.
And now everyone else can breathe a sigh of relief too.
I’ve taken off the leg bandage and am delighted to say that Monster has put on 0.3kg in a week! That’s my boy and the antibiotics are finished, so that’s another ordeal over and done with too.

Can we ever identify with your observation of the strangeness in the home when one of our number is missing! Each family member contributes so much to the happiness & contentment of all. It is almost like a tear in our family tapestry. So glad that Monster is back as the Activities Director. ;-}
Glad to hear Monster is doing well. Always worrisome when they are gone. Bright blessings.
Whew, I am so very glad to hear that Monster is better. Pretty impressed that he ate right away, so his gums and teeth aren’t even too sore. Maybe no bony mice for a little while. He sure has a BIG presence in your home!
Happy that Monster is back. I lost a beloved cat over the Summer and the house did not seem right. And then my friend said she did not need another cat what with 4 barn cats to take care of the rodents and two house cats and would I like the little skinny gray stranger who either was dumped or wandered in to her barn. Now it feels like home again.
That’s lovely.
The emptiness when one of the pack is missing is profound and always out of proportion to the size of ‘person’ who is absent.
So gladthe Great White Hunter is back where he belongs, x
