Hi everyone sorry I’ve been so out of touch. While I’m not good at regularly checking in, I do pray daily for all animals and humans in need of healing, for a peaceful pain free death for all animals and humans who will die and that they may be surrounded by loved ones, family and friends and finally for all who are grieving the loss of a loved one or beloved pet, that they may feel God’s loving, healing embrace. I have been thinking a lot about Spirit and Autumn Ranger both of whom I lost this year. Today was especially hard when I received an email from PetSmart telling me to open it for a birthday gift for Spirit. She would have been 15, “unofficially” today. It was also around this time that she joined my family. I wanted to share pictures of my new babies, Oliver, the tiger cat and Sebastian, the orange cat. Adopting Oliver and Sebastian on August 4, 2022, was a fulfillment of a promise. Arhat I made to Spirit and Autumn Ranger, As I said good bye to them; that I’d adopt cats in their memories who were in need of a loving fur ever home as they once were. They are bonded 9 year old declawed 😿”brothers”. Oliver, AKA Mr. Chubs, he was 17 lbs, when I adopted him and he’s now down to almost 15 lbs, is very friendly and out going. He loves belly rubs, and likes to hold my hand down with one paw as he licks me. Sebastian is very shy and hides a lot but is slowly coming out of his shell and feeling more at home. The photo of Sebastian on my lap was taken last Tuesday evening. I refer to it as an early Christmas gift as Sebastian, unexpectedly started hanging out with me, allowing me to pet him and even spent some time sitting on my lap, a first. Saraya , my feisty, sassy 16 1/2 year old is the black cat and my foster failure. She and I have been together for 16 years, this month. She turned 16 in June and was my best failure ever. She gave me a scare recently and I thought I might possibly be loosing her too but thankfully it seems she’s on the mend again. She was eating poorly and peeing everywhere but the litter box. I got her into my wonderful vet and found out she had either a UTI or kidney infection. Evidently both are common when you have kidney disease, which she has thankfully she will eat the kidney diet food, especially the wet food. Since she wouldn’t take the prescribed antibiotics I got her into the vet again for an antibiotic injection, expensive but worth the peace of mind. She’s also gotten fluids twice now and will continue to get them 1-2 x per week, as needed. I told the vet when I saw her last Tuesday, that I needed her to be honest with me regarding Saraya’s because I wasn’t going to be selfish and think of my need to keep her with me until I was ready and cause her undue pain and suffering as I more than likely did with Autumn Ranger and Spirit. If it was her time then I was prepared as painful as it would be to let her peacefully go. Thankfully this didn’t happen and now she eating up to a 5-5.5 Oz can per day of food. Merry Christmas, Holiday Blessings and Happy New Year to all pets and their humans.
