Not a good night

Life sucks – there is only one guarantee in life and that is der Herr Tod. The scenario – one of mom’s cats was not eating so over to my house he comes. Initially thought he had a cold. Dammit why did I not recognize the signs for congestive heart failure, I knew he had heart issues. No symptoms that might be an issue, until this afternoon. Well, I told him we loved and it was okay to join Squeakier. He died in my arms. Got mom and we went to the city shelter to see if we could drop the body off. There was Officer Young who was very nice and allowed me to put Sammy Stickelpin in a body bag. So I was able to take care of everything for Sammy, just like when I worked for the vet. Now I need a good cry.

Cool Day

Discovered an interesting book at Baltimore’s Biggest Yard Sale. Originally thought it was a cookbook from 1959, but it is not a cookbook. It actually looks at food in general and shows how the food/farming industry has changed (cool). Finding bits and pieces of Duck all over the house, she has spent time in my bed. She loves me. The best is the fascinating thunder and lightening storm that is happening right over head. Now comes the rain, maybe this will cool things off.

Shaking head

Duck needs to be plucked, but she won't let me near her. So should I go and scare the stuffing out of her. Nahhhhhhhhhh, she getting better about showing up on the stairs and sniffing my hand. Eventually I would like to get her to cuddle. Patience is needed, I am happy when I just get to see her. Suesse just made my day - she crawled up to and laid on my lap with me awake and not helping her get on.

Wistful Day

Happy or sad - just don't know. Still recovering from Pennsic and dog duty. Had fun with both, but now my house needs to be put in order. Fun :(. At least, Suesse is warming up to me again. Arthur is hanging at good spot. It was suggested to have him facing out to the yard. But I want to see the face that told me, he had to be my Pennsic souvenir. Leveling off and ignoring laundry.
