Little's back home. She's had an eventful day. M left her at the vets who were already worried by the fact that the wound on her foot hadn't healed. She was headed for an X-ray to see what was what inside the paw.

The 'phone call came with the bad news that she has two broken digits, uneven fractures, which along with the open wound meant that splinting was not an option. Putting pins down the fractured bones was. It took an hour (no, I'm trying really hard not to think about the bill: the X-ray was a hundred quid for a start). We went to the surgery at six and Little made her wobbly way to the door of the cage and then meowed: I've not had a meow since Tuesday evening. She tottered a bit while we looked at the X-rays. Then we got her to walk into her carrier and took her home. I think she's high on pain killers, but she's perky, limping less than before the op, drinking and taking a slight interest in food--and she's escaped from the front bedroom once already.

Looby Loo, who is fascinated by the vets, saw the hospital upstairs from the surgery and was fine, but now will not go into see Little. The leg, bald and stitched, is really putting her off. Understandable, I suppose.

So there's only Biggle not here now. Soon. The place isn't right without the two of them.
