Last night at work, I made a fool of myself and fell over. I was kneeling behind the games counter helping a customer when suddenly, I felt weak-kneed and dizzy. Over I went, hitting the game cage. Thankfully, none of the games crashed down on the customer’s head!
Nancy comes running over to see if I […]
June 22, 2006 after a visit to one of the shelters, our home opened up to include yet another rescue. Guinevere was an overweight, abused senior who was destined to be PTS because no one wanted to handle her care. She was laying on the floor of a small cage when I saw her and […]
Muddy and Chilkoot both tested negative for distemper! I am so relieved and elated. They were vaccinated against both distemper and FeLV and although they are still battling ringworm, they were pronounced in good shape!
Guinnie has an allergy so I just gave her a bath and she did remarkably well for what I feel […]
An ice storm has swarmed in and has hit with surprising ferocity. I should have known last night when I got off work as the cats were restless and active and running through the tunnels and leaping around the enclosure as if they were after invisible mice. This morning, the pipes broke in the house […]
I am back after a exhausting and emotionally overwhelming visit. Mother has double pneumonia and was hospitilized pending treatment. She was perfectly coherent when we arrived (it was a 570 mile journey) but we couldn’t talk to her because all she would do is cough.
Early Weds morning, the phone rings at 1:21 and the […]
Won’t be blogging for a week. Leaving for my parents my mother is ill and I need to be with my parents. Kittens are recovering slowly- thinking now (hoping) this is not distemper. Will update when return home- please pray we have safe journey going into snowy passes not fun driving.
On the way to the vet this morning, Dawson died. I was doing in some places 80 mph trying to get her there before she passed. I will know by Tuesday if it is distemper. Lazarus is showing similar symptoms and has been isolated now.
Goodbye Daws- I am so sorry I failed you-
Dawson went to the vet today. When I saw Ben, I told him I didn’t know if God was testing my patience, or I was testing Ben’s! He laughed.
Daws tested negative for the common diseases. Ben said he thought that Dawson was coming down with the URI and it was particularly hard on him. I […]
I sit here helpless, watching as one-by-one the kitties fall like a row of dominos. Vibrant, full of life one minute reduced to just a whisp of a kitten barely able to lift its head. Antibiotics may just as well be kool-aid for all the good they seem to be doing.
I cry to my mother […]
Need to keep track of the cats progress (or lack thereof) as we experiment with the new drug: delta albaplex. This afternoon, I started the following cats on the drug. They get two a day- so I am hopeful I will still have my fingers after this round is over!
Matuse-Taylor-Cole-Sierra-Everest- Mercedes- all of these are […]
