WCR Powder had some nice numbers overnight and it shows. He is more animated this morning and all his personal Ps are in place. Posting a recap for yesterday. In the morning I visited too long and ran out of time
before funeral of sweet resident to post. Then when I came back I was too sad and depressed especially to see the sad news about Pelusa just added to my funk. :YMSIGH: :cry: He gave so much love and in return was loved every where he went. He enjoyed life so much that every day was new and different.
I have been dreading this time since the doctor told me in July he had cancer. :cry: :cry: :cry: Then trying to keep him going, the chemo, worrying he was in pain and he just would say "No Kathy I'm getting better I'm ok" when asked. Until the week before his last hospitalization I insisted to MD he had to be in pain and saw the relief he got.Then that horrible disease had to take away his ability to walk and we would be told he must have been in terrible pain for over a month. :sad: Until the very end he would respond to "How are you feeling?" with "I'm alright."
His niece did the eulogy and captured him so well especially the love he had for his cat Saki GA. She described how every day he would go out to pick up sticks out of his yard and when he was done with that he would make his rounds to the neighbors to do the same. Then he would walk around his yard enjoying the day. What was so special about it was that Saki accompanied him every day following the special man who loved him so much. He talked about Saki often as though he had just crossed the bridge yet he had been gone more than 10 years. Unfortunately we couldn't get him a cat in the house which we so wanted to do because one of his housemates was very allergic to cats. We did bring in our dogs but I'm sure it never quite took a cat's place. Sorry for going on and on.
I did do testing however and Powder would choose last night to go :mrgreen: which would normally have thrilled me. Luckily for me, especially that I was feeling so drained, he rose from the 50 with only some Super Supper. I don't know how Marjorie and Michelle stay awake almost every night I could barely stay up long enough for the 30 min recheck. ohmygod_smile Actually thought I went an hour and a half over until I did SS this Am @-) Anyway you ladies have my ever lasting admiration and awe :lol:
Finally set up my Smart Box this morning and am hoping Powder will take to it since he has never been a litter freak and shouldn't miss it. It should make my life a little easier and him having clean litter most of the time. He was used to his Litter Maid and always had clean litter. Since FD his urine clumps were too challenging most of the time for it to scoop :roll:
Thanks for the high fat hint Ella I looked over the list and found a lot. It seems Powder's preferred food for the moment is pretty high. So I'll try to slip in some of the others of course I'll never know when he'll refuse to eat Super Supper he's so picky. He's going to be very mad today 'cause he's getting a bath :evil: will try to visit later. Was so happy to see Essi OTJ.
