5/16 Loose Lips - It's Monday

boy does it ever feel like a monday!

it was an exhausting weekend with too much going on, and tomorrow my youngest has her wisdom teeth coming out. that's a big enough deal for the average person, but she's dental/needle phobic and i can only imagine what it's going to be like. wish i could knock her out here - she is going to get a prescription for atavan to hopefully reduce the anxiety before we go.

time to go scrounge and see what there is for breakfast.
 
Good morning! After a weekend full of pouring down rain today is starting out cool, but dry. I have ton's of housework to do but needed to catch up on condos first of course :-D I sure do hope your daughter has an easy time at the dentist. I am needle phobic as well and had to take Valium the night before and morning of to calm me down.
 
A dear friend of mine has lost a beloved furbaby to a persistent and incurable skin disease over the weekend. My heart hurts for her, but her beautiful boy had been in a cone since February, and the skin disease was turning into lesions on his tummy. No antibiotic had touched it - his immune system seems to have been compromised. Now, she's hurting, second guessing her choice to have him put to sleep on Friday. Send some healing vines her way - she's in pain.

In other news, my son turns 11 on Wednesday. I can't believe it - a full 11 years. He's getting parties and presents and lots of love. He would LOVE another kitty, but his father says no to a sixth. :lol:

He's had to settle for a beta fish - and he loves that little creature too.

Rosalind the jealous civvy cat keeps demanding to sit on my lap. She's so gorgeous - a tiny torti with pure white socks and bib, sporting peridot green eyes. She doesn't hear "No." She's so sweet, when she wants to be.

Good Monday to you all.
 
So sorry to hear about your friends loss .. it sounds like it was time to let him fly free, but we always tend to second guess ourselves don't we?

Happy birthday to your son! We used to have a beta fish as well, he was so pretty ..

What cat ever really hears "no"? :lol:
 
I will forward all your sympathies to her. She's sending me facebook messages - this smart, elegant, professor of ethics and philosophy, telling me she can't feel anything but pain. I know where she is - all of us who love these little transient creatures will be there from time to time. The only up-side I can see to losing one is that, somewhere out there, another kitty who desperately needs us and will love us to the end of life is waiting to be found.

Say hello to my lap weight, Rosalind the Semi-Wonder Kitty.

so very, very true.

And rosalind is beautiful!

i hear ya on the Lap Weight. when i get both cats on me it's more than 20 pounds and i sure know it. both climbed on me while i was sleeping last week - they were on a blanket on top of my feet and my poor feet about came unglued with foot claustrophobia! :lol:
 
sending heart healing vines to your friend...

and i have to tell you...I'm a grief counselor, and when Binks and I lost our manxie and our boxer within a week of each other last year...
I froze in denial.

For so long that I didnt catch Binks' diabetes symptoms for 3 months...

Can we say "physician...heal thyself"??

no matter how much knowledge or experience we have...it rarely works when it's too close to home...
 
Rosalind is beautiful....

pre-grieving is something else too....hence why i see a shrink once weekly...not afraid to admit it....it is helping and also i'm able to look for a job as we need me working....DH has been carrying the burden for a long time now....and since Rocket seems stable (though i know he won't get cured from the cancer) i do need to get out and get a job....my greatest fear has been also if we do encounter an emergency with either Rocket or Comet...that we won't have the means to help them and we will make the decision to pts....i try not to think about it....

anyhow...that's my venting of the day...for those of you who know Rocket...he is doing ok...eating fine and still waking me up in the wee hrs....i don't open a condo as i don't want people to be sad....but i do read up on the other kitties that are struggling...
 
good to see you!!

I've been wondering about you and rocket!

agreed on the pre-grieving...and kudos to you on getting some help to deal with the pain!
 
Please put up some candles for my friend Bertha, whose beautiful boy Liam went to the bridge on Friday, in the loving arms of his beans. I would do it, but don't know how as yet.
 
Yes, Rosalind is pretty, and so very very small. She's 5 years old, but still the size of a half-grown kitty. Her fur is soft and sleek like a baby otter - she slides out of my hands when she doesn't want to be held. Her coat just gleams - such a healthy little beastie. My other cats feel like velvet - Rosie is made of silk.

Working on notes for the dissertation today. Too lovely though - my heart keeps pulling me to the window. Enjoy your days, all you wonderful people.
 
Julie is your daughter staying awake? I chickened out and went with sedation for my wisdom teeth. I couldn't eat anything but pudding for five days and was swollen and all bruised. My brother who wasn't scared had all four out and was eating pizza that day. I think its worse when you get knocked out. If I had to do it today - I'd still be sedated ohmygod_smile Our dentist didn't do laughing gas.

Rosalind is gorgeous!

Claudia, glad Rocket is still waking you up. Still laugh when I think of his meow :lol:

DH is back at work today. Henry has been out and about for maybe two minutes since he left. He has picked my husband as his bean. DH gets a kick out of it too. In the beginning I was jealous and hurt - I was the one with the broken heart. DH never had a bond with Maverick. Maverick had a bond with me formed when he had his feeding tube for 10 weeks in 2008. DH was laughing last night. Henry jumped on the bed, climbed over me and lied in between us, facing DH purring his head off. He is a unique cat. Very ungraceful too. He poops standing straight up with his paws at the edge of the litter box. Is this normal??? I don't think so :lol:
 
Our deepest sympathy to your friend for the loss of her beloved Liam, Renee.

Just wanted to thank all of you who don't have a daily condo: Karrie, MJ, Celi, Claudia (or did I miss Rocket's somehow?), Devon for your support and caring thoughts today for Teddi. Hugs to you all!!! Luv ya!
 
i'm not looking forward to taking my daughter in tomorrow. she started crying when the oral surgeon was talking to her about iv anesthetic. i'd called ahead and reminded them that she's very dental/needle phobic and needed extra TLC and they were very good with her. still, she is so afraid of anything medical being done to her.

she's going to get knocked out and they've given her valium to take before she goes in. hopefully she'll do ok. it's early, at 8:15am, so punkin should be ok til we get back. i'll be back by +3-4ish.

i haven't seen the latest on Teddi, so need to go and check.
 
Hi, I try to get over here to see what's going on here. So glad we have this condo.
Hroswitha, so sorry about the loss of your friend's kitty. My condolences for her loss.
I love the pic of pretty Rosalind.
Julie, I hope your daughter does okay with her wisdom tooth tomorrow. That has to be so scary for her. The valium should help until she's knocked out, poor daughter!
Claudia, good for you for seeing someone to talk things out and glad to hear Rocket is stable.
Karrie, is there any progress with Victoria and Henry becoming friends?
Have a good night.
