Hi Toni, I am sorry you have not heard from me in a while. I lost two cats from the beginning of December to the middle of January. Stripes had a heart attack, and became paralyzed so I had to put her to sleep. This happened at the beginning of December. With Christmas coming it was very sad for me. I had already bought her a Christmas gift. Then the second week of January I had to put down My tutu because she had cancer. I miss them both very much. I do keep their ashes and put their names on their little coffins, and now they giving paw prints from the crematorium, so I have a paw print for each. The year before that I had lost topper, which I had told you about. I did adopt a new one year old kitten in March of 2020. He was actually a feral cat that I took into my home. I had a spade, and named him Hex. My dog Syrus is doing great. Both are spoiled brats. That is what I call them all the time. When they first bought them home, they would eat anything. Now I have a dog who is very particular about his food, he only likes the Pedigree ground food, and the Pedigree hard food. My cat likes the iam hairball remedy hard cat food, and Sheba wet cat food. I guess I have really spoiled them myself, Because I kept trying different food until I found what they liked. Anyway, my dog and cat love each other they’re constantly playing together. I have several neighbors who love my dog so much, they actually like to walk him and take them to their homes to play with their dogs or cats. I have an outside deck that’s open, and sometimes one of my friends brings her dog over so they can play together. This is kept me busy during the pandemic. Have a great weekend.-
Whew, Geri, you have been through a lot, and been very busy. You did the kind thing for Stripes and any holiday season makes it even harder. And you know the same is true for Tutu. It’s so hard because in our heads we know our time with them is limited , and that releasing them from suffering or pain is the supreme act of selflessness and grace, but boy, in our hearts and every cell, it hurts so much to part. I am terribly sorry. And, I am excited for your baby, Hex (great name) and his friendship with Syrus. They look like a happy couple :-). Oh, don’t get me started on food….I think we can all relate to the trap of “try this. No? Try this…” until we finally land on something they’ll accept and enjoy. They train us well, don’t they? I am delighted you thought to update us Geri, and am sorry it wasn’t all happy news, but it’s really good to hear from you. Please send more stories and photos of Hex and Syrus.
