    Regarding Takoda: I finally called the vet Monday afternoon. The vet specialist never informed her via email or otherwise, that they had posted Takoda’s results in the portal. This specialty clinic evidently per my vet is inconsistent with where they post results and this particular specialty clinic has poor communication even with vets, so I guess I can’t take their lack of communication to personally. Anyway the ultrasound results showed no cancer, thank God! It did however show inflamed intestine and bowel area consistent with IBS , so I will pull him off his weight loss food, since vet said he was ok weight wise as she could feel his ribs at his last exam and only feed him the biome for the next month, I’ll just keep his dry food at 1/3 cup per day to cut calories as I was doing with the weight loss food. If he doesn’t show improvement with that and his B-12 injections, we may have to switch to a hydrolyzed diet with out chicken, royal canon has some with a variety of exotic meat flavors. Per Dr. Danboise some cats guts react badly to chicken. If we have to switch, I will try to transition Kaylanee to the same food, since insurance won’t cover her food as they consider her IBS, preexisting. Takoda’s records don’t have IBS written down and we’ll leave it that way so insurance will continue to pay for his food. Regarding myself, I went to Massachusetts yesterday and spent the afternoon and evening with my sister. She’d gotten free tickets, thanks to AARP, to the Wooster Red Sox , triple A team of the Red Sox. While the Red Sox lost the game it was still a fun time. We walked around the ball park, which was built in 2021 and has huge baseballs imprinted with name and number as well as autographed by famous hall of fame Red Sox players. They also have huge replicas of the 4 World Series rings they won this century on display outside the park. I remember when Carl Yastrzemski, retired in the 80s and he was presented with a rocking chair on the field. I also had the privilege, although didn’t realize it at the time, until a fellow employee told me, of waiting on Carlton Fisk, when I worked at McDonald’s as a teenager. I was able to get his autograph ✍️, on a McDonalds bag as I had to bring out an item from his order that was delayed. And yes Toni, I also have been to a Colorado Rockies game, either the same year they opened the park or the following year I still have at least one of the t-shirts. I bought when in attendance there, many many moons ago. 😹 Then I spent the night at my brother’s mother-law’s house and we had a nice visit last night and today as well. Tomorrow, I will spend the day at my brother’s newly rebuilt home up at the Weirs, near Lake Winnipesaukee, his pre ious one was destroyed by a burst pipe, that went undiscovered for 3 weeks while he was on an European cruise. We will hang out together, play cribbage and maybe if it’s warm enough, I’ll go swimming but that’s not likely as while days have been warm nights have been quite cool, making for good sleeping weather. Kaylanee is doing well in NH but I think she’s missing the company of her annoying brothers Takoda and Oreo.

    Hi Toni, I am doing okay. Of course, some days are still hard, but because of therapy, support groups and wonderful advice from so many people, I am moving along. I still miss my Romeo terribly and he certainly left a scar on my heart that I will always feel. He was my everything!
    Thank you so much for reaching out.

      Suzanne, its great news about Takoda. I’m happy to see Kaylanee is doing well in NH, but youre probably right about her missing her brother’s. Sounds like you had a nice time with your sister in Mass. It is sooo hot down here in SW Florida and being outside is not an option for me. Thank goodness for AC…lol
      I know it’s hot up north too, so stay cool.

        Hi Suzanne! I was happening hear that evis good with Kaylanee and hope that Takoda’s Vet visit will go well too. Have a great time in NH and try not to worry too much. I know that is easier said than done, but I hope you can relax and enjoy. Please let us know how Takoda’s ultrasound goes.
        Sending you warm thoughts good wishes. 🫂
          In reply to - Suzanne posted an update Kaylanee update: I was able to get Kaylanee into the vet on Saturday morning. I will as stressed and anxious to the max as, the vet tech took her immediately, after getting my update info. They were gone for what seemed like forever 20-30 minutes doing urinalysis and blood for full blood panel test. I was also freaking out because periodically I was hearing a cat loudly meowing and all I could think was I hope it’s not my cat. Vet finally came in and said he was very concerned as her urine was very diluted and feared her kidneys not properly doing their job. Any way great news all test results that were sent out came back negative. He has no idea why her urine was so diluted it since she’s acting “normal”, eating, active etc., and for a cat diagnosed with IBS, she’s been having normal formed bms. So I guess the b-12 injections and the biome food is working for her. Now to pray Takoda has a successful second attempt at his ultrasound tomorrow and that that will bring good news too. 🙏❤️🐾 Not sure if I’ll be able to make Thursdays group call as I’m leaving the next day to visit family in NH but please know I’m holding you all in thought and prayer. ]]>                     309ab18a3174d0f74751e6881ac9b4b1 Maureen posted a new activity comment https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/activity/p/73428/#acomment-73431 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 12:58:02 -0600

            I was out walking at Chittenango Lions Botanical Garden park, with my individual today. and I ran across this cat angel, in a small angel garden, that I thought I’d share with all of you who are mourning the passing of a beloved cat. It really touched me deeply when I saw it. I hope it brings some peace to anyone grieving. Also thought I’d share this little reflection I came across on FB.

              Hi Berni, I am so sorry for your loss of Annie 💔 Sending you warm, comforting hugs and wishing you peace at this very sad time. May Annie rest in peace 💔
                In reply to - Berni posted an update Annie update: my sweet gentle soul is gone. I took her for the endoscopy on Tuesday thinking we may finally get to the bottom of her diarrhea problem. Two hours after I dropped her off at the vet, my phone rang. “There’s been a complication.” They had just started the procedure and hadn’t reached the area to get tissue samples when the probe punctured her bowel. The tissue was thin and more deteriorated than expected. Prognosis for repair was very poor. Only one other option. I requested they take the samples they hadn’t gotten to so I could know what caused the issue. They opened her and found multiple other tears and deterioration along the organs which might have ruptured and gone septic at some point. I brought her home so that Andy could see and sniff her before I took her for cremation. On Monday night she made multiple trips to the litter box which had become normal behavior for her and on the last trip she left a large puddle of very foul smelling diarrhea on the bathroom floor, it unmistakably smelled of blood. I can only imagine that her bowel must have been so badly damaged for this to have gone so wrong. Today would have been her second gotcha day. ]]>                                 54bc22f646e41de74b4eaa4e9d3f55f9 Maureen posted a new activity comment https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/activity/p/73406/#acomment-73407 Sun, 10 May 2026 23:49:19 -0600

                    In reply to - Leslie posted an update Unfortunately Jake passed away. My boyfriend passed away on Thanksgiving, and I took in his 13 yr old Golden Retriever, She seemed healthy to me. but that started to change in Feb. The vet said he has hemangiosarcoma, an gave him 2 wks to 3 months. He went downhill fast and 3 weeks later passed away. I felt like I lost my connection to my boyfriend,and hit with 3 loses so close together. Thanks for listening to my saga ]]>                                         0370c40ac9efe061ac74d509e3493454 Maureen posted a new activity comment https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/activity/p/73378/#acomment-73385 Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:07:41 -0600
                    Suzanne, I am wishing Kaylanee all the best for her dentalprocedure.
                      In reply to - Suzanne posted an update Kaylanee’s visit to the cardiologist went reasonably well. She may possibly have a mild heart murmur but because she was purring so loudly it was difficult to verify. She does have some thickening around the left side of the heart very early stages but nothing to be overly worried about at present. Both the murmur and the thickening of the left ventricle will be monitored with a follow up appointment scheduled for April of 2027. I am also monitoring her respiratory rate on an ongoing basis and if it gets above 40 I\'m to call the vet ASAP. regular repertory rate is 20-25 per minute. It’s challenging to monitor a black cat for respiratory rate per the vet. I guess the color make it more challenging to see her breathing. Thankfully she was cleared to have her dental procedure, which thanks to a cancelation will be this Thursday April 9. I think God has been intervening for my sweet girl as I got into see cardiologist and for dental procedures very quickly both due to cancellations; otherwise wait to see Cardiologist Would have been may or June pushing back her dental surgery until July or August. I filled out all the paperwork and sent it into waggle, for financial assistance to pay for Kaylanee’s dental 🦷 surgery, which could be any where from 2 - 3 thousand dollars 2 being on the low end. Serious increase in price since Sebastian had his surgery in 2022 and Ikivercin 2023. Total bill for both was about 2,000, low where. However since I just got the appointment for dental procedure yesterday and the surgery is this Thursday April 9, I’m not sure if I’ll get any money to offset the bill, with such short notice; since they pay the vet directly and the vet will want full payment when I pick her up after her procedure. It’s kinda scary financially because I’ve already spent about 2100 dollars in the 1 1/2 months I’ve had her as the pet insurance refused to pay for two of her claims saying they were pre existing. They did thankfully pay for the cardiology doctor otherwise I’d be in debt close to 2600 dollars, for her alone. That doesn’t include the debt I’m still paying off for Sebastian and Freyja who I lost with in 6 weeks of each other. Thankfully, my financial debt on Freyja is almost paid. However, I’m going to trust that God will provide for Kaylanee’s medical expenses, since She/He has already intervened numerous times already by getting her into see specialists quickly and to become a beloved member of my fur family. Praying that all is well with everyone else who’s a part of faithful friends. I pray daily for all mourning the loss of a beloved human or pet that they may feel God’s loving healing embrace. I will provide update regarding Kaylanee’s dental procedure after it’s completed. Thank you everyone for your care and support. This group means a lot to me. ]]>                                             f94a3c2b19a720960274423263a77a9b Maureen posted a new activity comment https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/activity/p/73352/#acomment-73367 Tue, 31 Mar 2026 19:16:47 -0600

                          Happy heavenly birthday, Oliver! It’s hard to believe that one year ago today Sebastian and I had to suddenly say goodbye to you. This picture was taken in the morning the day before I said goodbye to you. We were both enjoying some one-on-one lap time together, then about six hours later you apparently through an undiagnosed blood clot. I know your last hours before you crossed the rainbow bridge were agonizingly painful for both you and I. I’m sorry for that. I know you’ve long forgotten that pain and trauma, but it’s not something I will soon forget. I miss you so much Oliver and your sweet brother Sebastian, who died almost 10 months to the day I had to say goodbye to you suddenly and unexpectedly too. Like you he appeared fine one day and the next he was quickly going downhill. I’m glad the two of you are once again reunited and I look forward to the day When I will once again be reunited with you both, along with Kovu, Morgaine, Eragon, Spirit, Autumn Ranger,Saraya, Kalina, and Freyja. I’m trying to focus and remember the good times we had together rather than the painful goodbye so I want to share one of my favorite memories of you. When I went to do my pre-adoption visit with you and Sebastian at the SPCA. The staff suggested I do a crate visit with you both as your brother was so frightened and timid. You were sitting protectively in front of your brother, who was as far back in the crate as he could get. When I reached my arm into Pet you both, you immediately placed your paw over my arm and began to lick my hand. I knew at that point that we were meant to be, and that you Oliver had chosen to adopt me as your new human mom for you and your brother. While writing this makes me feel sad, the memory also brings much joy to my heart, knowing that I was able to provide a loving forever home to you and Sebastian, even if the time I had with both of you was way too short.

                              In reply to - Suzanne posted an update Kaylanee’s ultrasound with the internal medicine doctor went well. She did well and thankfully was cooperative. Shes’s definitely a much better patient than I am. I was a nervous wreck all morning waiting for the vet to call me, so I’d be able to go pick her up. While I may not have the results of the ultrasound, until Friday, possibly sooner, it depends on how many ultrasounds he did today and how many reports he then has to write up to send to individual vets, I’m feeling a lot less stressed, as she’s back home with me and acting her usual friendly self.

                                    My heart is shattered into a million pieces. I unexpectedly had to say good bye to my Sebastian today. . This is the 4th cat I’ve lost in less than a year, all of them sudden and 3 unexpected. Sebastian appeared “normal” at his semi annual wellness exam, on Thursday, then Thursday night Friday, he just stopped eating and drinking and by Sunday was vomiting white foamy liquid to often to count. Got an emergency appointment with my vet at 9:00 this morning and blood work showed Kidney failure, suspected pancreatic cancer and urinalysis showed UTI, very unusual in male cats , among other issues. Doing further tests I was told really wasn’t t going to improve his chances, so I made the heart wrenching but compassionate and right choice to let him go, so he wouldn’t suffer anymore. I’m very thankful, that I had all day Saturday with him, I usually have to dog sit, as we were able to have lots of lap time and cuddle time together. By Sunday he wasn’t interested in being with me very much. Since Sebastian had lost his bonded brother Oliver, last March, he started to become a less timid more self confident cat, who when his younger fur siblings were not around, loved to sit in my lap. I will miss him coming to look for me when I was home when I was home. It was his way of saying why aren’t you sitting? I want to sit on your lap. The photos of Sebastian were taken by me before I let him go. Sebastian, my little lap buddy, the house will be so quiet with out you. You will be dearly missed but now you are reunited with your bonded brother, Oliver, your sweet toothless, gentle, Kalina, who, while she was only with us a short time, I know the two of you developed a special bound. While you and Freyja, much to my chagrin, never really got along, she’ll be there to welcome you too, to Rainbow Bridge! Run free my sweet little Sebastian. Sebastian is the orange/ginger kitty , Kalina is the tiger cat and Freyja, “queen” of the castle is the tuxedo cat.

I am grieving the passing of my dear, sweet, mischievous, fun-loving toy schnauzer, Bear. He was given to me by a dear friend that runs a rescue. I got him at age 2. At age 3, he started exhibiting bladder stones so he had surgery to remove them. The vet office kept an eye on his liver enzymes, and the numbers kept rising. She recommended for him to have portosystemic shunt surgery. A referral was sent to the University of Minnesota. I did extensive research on the topic, asking other schnauzer owners about their experiences with this operation, reading articles about it on line and prayer. I decided for Bear to have the surgery because he was overall, a happy and healthy pup and did not exhibit any of the shunt congenital symptoms. He went in on 8/12 and had the surgery. However, 24-48 hours later, Bear was showing signs of frequent seizuring activity. On 8/14/25, Bear was put down because the Critical Care Vet felt Bear was cognitively brain dead and there was no hope for him to return as the dog that he once was. With two very good friends by my side, I held him in my lap and told him how thankful that he was in my life and how much I loved him and will miss him. I am grieving terribly. He was my baby Bear and I truly loved him with all my heart and sole!!! I also feel guilty for putting him through this. If I hadn’t, he would still be alive and with me.😢 ]]>                                                                                                                                                         338c30dd093f1479a2b0a9fc54b1977d Maureen posted a new activity comment https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/activity/p/72871/#acomment-72925 Sun, 24 Aug 2025 19:05:23 -0600

He lived to be 16 years old. I am so glad he picked me. I have two other fur babies, but I still miss him so much.
