Hide and Seek Sooty

Yep that's my curtains and that's sooty all wrapped up inside. Don't really know why but he decided when we brought him home today that it would be a grouse place to sit so he wrapped himself up and seemed very happy
Why is sooty here. Well it goes like this: last night I slept over at Kara's while Dan slept here so he could leave at break of dawn to do the bridge to Brisbane run. All was going spiffingly well till 3am when Kara came to wake me due to here concerns that Sooty was scratching himself into oblivion. Thank God I was actually wearing jammy's to bed. Anyway we had a little look and sure enough he had scratched his neck till it was bleeding. She was beyond tired so I took Sooty to bed with me and scratched him till he was snoring and then went back to sleep. He woke about three times each time I lay there scratching his back until he went back to sleep. This morning we had a look and decided that he had conjunctivitis and a sore neck so Sooty came home with us to go to the vet tomorrow and also so he doesn't keep his mummy awake one more night. Tonight he is wearing one of Williams socks on his foot to stop him from scratching is neck anymore. If he was a person I would have to say that his health insurance would refuse him any more cover he is just a worry. But we love him and so does Kara so that makes it very important that we make Sooty well.
