Hobkin is such a good boy! The flu-like symptoms I was having, well, seems they were a pretty low-grade flu . . . which I’ve subsequently conferred upon the poor fuzzwit. After dinner, he was cuddled up with me on the couch, and suddenly he jumped up and went scampering away. Now that isn’t an uncommon occurrence, so I didn’t think anything of it until the unmistakable sounds of a skunk being sick to his stomach started coming from the kitchen. I sprang up to check on him, and found him sicking up with his head in his litter pan. Poor lil guy.
Hobkin’s very good about running to his area to be sick (which has a nice, linoleum floor, making it much easier to clean than carpet), but this was the first time he was considerate enough to do so right in his litter box! I praised him effusively and gave him a mint sandwich (Pepto Bismol on bread) to ease his tummy.
Hobkin is such a good boy. And he seems much better today.
Writing Stuff:
Wrote a review for this week’s Sci-Fiction story for Tangent, as well as a Scrybe Press synopsis for Nathan, a critique for Critters, and many belated thank you emails. Also did a rewrite pass on the slipstream story. It’s garnered eighteen critiques so far. I’ll give it another day for the final critiques to trickle in, then send it off to market.

He threw up in his litter box???
WOW. Just… wow.
I know! I was astonished too. Definitely an action deserving of (and receiving) man “Good Hobkin!”s.
Hobkin’s very good about running to his area to be sick
Wow. I wish my cats would do that.
In general, Hobkin’s extremely good about such things. He was very easy to housebreak, but this is the first time he’s actually run to his litter box to sick up. What good boy he is. When I’m sure he’s better, he’s getting a treat!
Awww…I’m sending out good healing vibes to both you and Hobkin. That’s so cute to think a skunk would think before he hacks. Just too cute 🙂
Cute upchucking. You’re sick, SICK (and not in the tummy rumbling way)!
He ran to his litterbox to be sick??? How very polite of him!
Do you think Hobkin would like to hold a little seminar on such animal manners? My cats could use some help in that area. 😉
“Do you think Hobkin would like to hold a little seminar on such animal manners?”
I’m a little worried what he’d teach other critters if given the opportunity to expound on “fuzzy companion etiquette.” But I’m willing to give him a lot of slack for knowing where to sick up!
Ok, that’s it. I gotts meet this little guy some time. He’s awsome.
He is indeed awesome! I just love him so much. Right now he’s flopped on my lap, all fuzzy and warm.
He ran to his litter box to throw up!!!!! That is the best animal story ever. Give Hobkin a big kiss from Aunt Rae.
Kisses after I’m sure he’s over his flu, but then definitely big hugs, kisses, and cheek rubs all around!
Seems like a lot of animals are getting sick this winter. I hope Hobkins gets better later.
