Azurel's Fishing Trip

Today I was all pumped about going to workout at the clubhouse and then go swimming (and get a little sun while I was at it)! I cleaned up the kitchen, got ready, and went out to the porch to bring Azurel in before leaving...

"Hey sweety, why is your whisker curly?" I pull on it a little and whatdya know, it's fishing line sticking out of her mouth. I call the vet to see what I should do (I know not to pull) and the guy that answered the phone asked me if I took a picture! Alas, by the time I got the camera, she had swallowed it all the way.

I got her in the cage and drove her to the vet. They were great and saw her right away! Matt took off from work to meet us there too. Anyway, there was nothing they could do at that moment so they said to bring her home and keep an eye on her, feed her a little bit of wet food every couple of hours, and watch for any signs of her in pain or vomiting. So now I'm sitting at home with her keeping my fingers crossed that she'll be fine and just pass it in a few days. Right now, I don't really want to leave for the pool just in case she gets sick while I'm gone.
