Me too. I call it payback. My kids are still too young, but heaven help them when they DO have kids. Sharpies and crayons for all!


I'm a little worried this morning, my kitty seems to be feeling poorly. back in November we found out he has crystals in his bladder, and 1300.00 later, he was feeling better, gaining weight and looking good. Last night we got home and he was rather lethargic-he's not even 2, so lethargic isn't in his vocabulary. He drank some water, and took a treat so I wasn't overly worried, just figured he probably ran into a wall (he does this) or tangled with the Maltese and she got a good shot in before running and kiyiing like a puppy.

This morning, he won't take water, and just threw up a little fluid. SO-as soon as his vet opens a visit is in order. I'm leaning towards he ate some thing he's regretting, or a hairball. He did use the litter box this morning, so I know he's not blocked. He may even be constipated, his belly seems a little hard. He doesn't normally eat strange things-he's a finicky guy, but you never know. We did lock up all the easter candy, so that's not it.

The vomiting didn't really alarm me-he's a medium haired cat, so he does get hairballs on occasion. My poor Kairi, he's always such a happy active guy, this just breaks my heart.
SO sorry about your kitty. He is young to have problems like that. I had a cat with the same issues but she was much older. There is a "renal" diet food that helps. It is crazy how much the vet care is....Perhaps I should have told my sons to become vets instead of doctors! Cash business, and very few people have insurance. I have 4 dogs and a cats but pay as I go as well. Hope your little boys improves!!!

Thanks!! I do have insurance for him. When we brought him home as a teeeeensy little fuzzybutt, a voice in my head told me to get insurance. I read allllll the fine print on all the policies available, and purchased Trupanion. I have to file the claim, hopefully they'll pay enough that my husband won't notice THAT MUCH missing from our account. lol.

I don't have insurance on my dogs, since I don't think it was readily available 10 years ago when we rescued my Maltese, and my shepherd would have been too much a month to afford comfortably. But my sweet kitty has it, thank God because apparently he's really prone to this condition. Poor little man. The Vet called and said all went well, and he's starting to wake up a little bit. I was going to take my middle son there to see him, but cats don;t wake up pretty, and it would probably upset him even more to see the drunken stupor and teary eyes on his cat. I'll take him tomorrow, and I know Kairi will be just as happy to see Joe and Joe will be to see him!
 


I was way too busy to post yesterday! Hope everyone had blessed a zizzen pesach and a glorious Easter!

I ended up with 16 eggs for my 1st week of eggs! They looked so lovely and when I placed them on the egg tray I just got misty eyed! My girls were perfect ladies with all the visitors to the coop. Some were even regaled with an "egg song". I was lucky to have 4 of my sons, their familes, wives, and finacee. It was the firs time that I was able to do so since the house is now put together from Sandy's destruction. My home looked normal once again! I made 9 racks of lamb chops (72) and only 4 chops remained. My boys can still eat like they are teenagers! Next week, my son Michael and his family arrive from California. It will be wonderful to have all 5 sons and all 7 grandchildren together! It's going to be lots of, fun, noise and food......and delicious eggs for breakfast!

Hi Rosie sorry to hear about your kitten. I'm sure everything went fine.
 
Hello everyone,
Things havereally been "off" lately. On Friday, I received some bad news. My friend who has a disabled daughter (like me), called to say that her daughter passed away that morning. I went to the service today and it was so terribly sad. On top of this sad event, I've had some incredibly hurtful chicken drama happening over on FaceBook. I am stunned at the way people behave and later this week, when I can think a bit clearer about it all, I will try to fill you in.

I'd like you all to know how much I appreciate this group of friends. I love that we all support each other and we welcome newcomers with open arms. So, I need to send you all a great big group hug!
Tina

Tina, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you can support your friend and help her get through such tragedy. I know no words can help, but just having friends to lean on is a blessing.
