Just got home from the vet with 10 year old Amroth. He was shaking his head and pawing at an ear, so I checked it and guess what? "Foreign bodies" in both ears. 'Tis the foxtail (cheatgrass) season here. Well, I thought, it's time for him to go in for his annual lumps and bumps removal anyway so we scheduled surgery for yesterday with ear cleaning thrown in.
Routine lumps and bumps removal: just the usual lipomas.
Picked him up this morning and the vet had a nice vacuette waiting for me with the results from one of his ears.
It wasn't a foxtail.
It was most of a dead cockroach.
Even the vet said that was one of the grossest things he'd ever found in an ear. I'm freaked. My ears keep itching.

There's a whole pack waiting for me at the Bridge - I'll have to take a lot of tennis balls!
