Peepers or Squeakers...
Yesterday evening me and Peeps were over at Nic's house and for half the day Peeps had been doing this weird neck/throat thing which made us think she had something caught in or tickling her throat. So we were watching her very closely all afternoon. Then in the evening Nic was sitting on the floor with her and Peeps started squeaking...sounding almost like a puppy that got stepped on!!! So needless to say we got a bit freaked...is the vet open? No. Are they open on Sunday? No. So we ended up calling this Emergency Animal Clinic Hotline thing and told the girl what was going on with the weird neck movements and the squeaking and then Peeps squeaked again. We asked the girl on the phone if she heard it and she said, "no, can you make her do it again?" How am I supposed to make her squeak again? So now the girl on the phone wants us to open Peeps' mouth and look down her throat to see if we can see anything. Um ok...ever tried to open a duck's mouth? Not an easy task, but I finally got it open long enough for Nic to not be able to see anything. So long story short Peeps stayed in my room all night last night and after the squeaking incident never did the neck thing again and seems to be fine. WHEW! I was worried there for a second. Since it is somewhat of a blustery day here, her and Kailani are in my room right now watching I Love Lucy. I love my girls! :-)

I'm so glad that Peeps is doing better. I was concerned for her when Nic told me about the incident. **Hug**

You are such a wonderful animal lover. These pets of yours (ours) could not ask for better caregivers.
