on the road: casper, wy

So we had acepromazine for the cat and the dog. 10 mg. tablet for the cat, and we're supposed to start with 1/4 tab. 25 mg. for the dog, start with a half. Okay. So far, so good.

We didn't bother to dose either one of them on Friday night. Inti panted in extreme excitement for 5 hours, and the cat mewed a little then spent the rest of the time in her litter box. Turns out she'd puked in her fluffy bed. Okay. I cleaned that up on Friday night.

Saturday, I dosed the dog. She panted so much the night before she was quite dehydrated. She was much calmer with half a tab of doggie downers. Not out of it, but more relaxed. We didn't dose the cat and she puked in her newly-cleaned bed and spent the remained of the day in her litter box, which we hadn't scooped the night before. Which is to say, she was lying in her own crap, though it was just a tiny turd.

Today we dosed them both. Mollie didn't puke in her bed. In fact, she stayed in her bed most of the day, and spent only a few hours lying in the (cleaned) litter box. Inti did equally well, though the meds wore off long before we finished our 13-hour driving day.

Everybody is sleeping now but me. hobbitt and Mollie are sharing the bed by the window. Inti is sacked out on the floor. I'm not sure whether I'll be slipping in the bed with hobbitt or taking the other one. This is the nicest room so far, by far. I can recommend with no reservations the Quality Inn in Casper, Wyoming. They have free internet access. Silly me. I only powered up the laptop to check our itinerary with Rand McNally TripMaker. Now I'm geeking like it's a regular night at home.
