Good morning ladies.
Saturday tea time here and it's really raining heavily outside. Has been all day, but I'm not complaining. I just feel sorry for the wee wild birds that Janna has just fed. They seem such fragile wee things, but I guess their feathers insulate them from the cold. I've got something sad to tell you both. Cinder, my cousin's beautiful Golden Retriever was PTS at around 2.30 am this morning. She got a lot worse at midnight and appeared to be in pain, so my cousin took her to the all-night emergency vet clinic. They saw a really nice vet who scanned her body and said if she took the dog home with pain relief, then Cinder may live a week at the longest. My cousin made the decision to let her go, as she didn't want her to suffer.She's very upset today, of course, but has tried to keep busy. At least she lives with her son and his partner and they also have a Goldie (Lulu), so that will help. I've been ringing her up throughout the day just to check on her There's really nothing anyone can say at this time, but at least she's got good people around her.
Dickens will not eat the urinary wet food at all today. Janna went up to the vet clinic and bought the urinary dry food and he has eaten a little bit of that, but he's very hungry. I'm going to give him a wee bit of ordinary wet food tonight (I know I shouldn't) because I think he should at least be eating some wet food. I'll leave the urinary biscuits out all night for him though. Gosh, this is a nightmare.I think he's a bit happier in himself, and I saw him have a big drink of water just before. He's also been sleeping for a while today and hasn't been running to the litter boxes so often.Hopefully it's a good sign. Actually, Janna's just feeding him a Fancy feast tuna tube at the moment and he's loving it. There's not much in one of those tubes so I doubt if it will harm him at all. I'm going to have a chat with Michele about him anyway, when she's back at work again.
Marinated steak, kumara and pumpkin tonight for tea - nice on a cold night. My cousin might come round to see me tomorrow, if she's OK.Janna and I ate the spinach and feta rolls today ,but I have more in the freezer for tomorrows lunch, if she does come round.
PAMELA, hope all is well with you and you've got a good weekend planned You'll be tired after working longer days at work, so hopefully you'll find some time to relax this weekend. I bet you'll go out on the bike to show off that flash new jacket. !!!
SHELLEY,I'll mention the anti-depressants to Michele when I see her. If Dickens doesn't need them, I certainly do !!! You'll be excited about that doll fair coming up. AND how fantastic to receive that letter and photo of your Great Aunt. That will certainly spur you on to great heights. !!! You must be getting to "know" her well by now. What gave you the incentive to write about her life ?
Well, I'm off now to check on my tea. and then have a quiet night watching TV.
Stay warm and safe everyone.
