Happy Birthday cattykit 

I'm sorry, I haven't been on much.  I just thought you would like to know that Mimi, the elderly cat we adopted six months ago, died. 

Thursday she was hitting me for milk, but had been more picky than usual about eating.  Thursday evening she wasn't acting right.  I did get her to eat some treats and some milk but that was all.  Friday morning she was staggering and I took her in.  They decided early renal failure, gave her 100 ml of ringers and a B-12 shot and sent her home with SubQ kit and Clavamox.  I knew she was not going to be OK.  I took her out in the garden for about an hour.  At 1:30 last night I saw her go into the living room.  I found her there under a bookshelf this morning at 5, she had been dead a while...
Charlie didn't want to tell the old lady she is dead.  The lady sent Christmas Presents for Mimi and the other cats and had called once to check on Mimi.  The daughter had lied when she said that the lady didn't love the cat.  *I* think it would be best to cremate Mimi and give the lady most of her ashes. 

She died the day after Annie's Wing Anniversary.  Less than 3 months after Misha.  We only had her six months, but it was long enough to love her, long enough to miss her.

Safe Journey, Little One.


In the last ten days we have had tuna, and ham, and chicken and cream...and Mimi got a little bit of each one.  I feel a bit better knowing she got some of her favorite foods during her last days. 

No, not THE LK, but a dead ringer...
it gets weird after that...
He was with a couple other guys who also looked like they belonged on MTV and they were passing out fliers for a church easter egg hunt. I smiled and thanked the boys and told them I don't have any children OR Grandchildren (as they so kindly suggested was possible)...
and THEN...
They asked if I wanted any nail polish samples, as they were handing them out to "Blessed People"......

???????????????

Lenny Kravitz + Jesus' Resurrection =

Nail polish samples???
In retrospect, I probably should have taken some.  Perhaps Holy Nail Polish doesn't crack or peel.

ETA:
Another ODD thing about it:
The dawgs were outside. They didn't bark. Jack barks at ME if he hears me going down the drive the mail box, but three refugees from Lollapalooza come to the house and not a peep! WTF?

Yes, I know I am a day early!

They are corgi dogs, not labs, but the audio does what I wanted it to do so...enjoy!

My friend Dale Ann posted this on the Feline Diabetes Message Board, and I thought it too poignant not to share...

I AM AN ANIMAL RESCUER

By Mike Stellas

My job is to assist God's creatures;
I was born with the need to fulfill their needs.
I take in new family members without plan, thought, or selection.
I have bought dog food with my last dime;
I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand;
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid;
I have fallen in love a thousand times,
and I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body.

I have Animal Friends and friends who have animal friends.
I don’t often use the word "pet".
I notice those lost at the roadside,
And my heart aches.
I will hand raise a field mouse,
And make friends with a vulture;
I know of no creature unworthy of my time.

I want to live forever if there aren’t animals in Heaven,
But I believe there are.
Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind.

We may be master of the animals,
But the animals have mastered themselves,
Something people still haven't learned.
War and Abuse makes me hurt for the world
But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for mankind.

We are a quiet but determined army
And making a difference ever day.
There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan,
nothing more rewarding than saving a life,
No higher recognition than watching them thrive.
There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play
who only days ago was too weak to eat.

I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done,
My home is never quiet,
My wallet is always empty,
But my heart is always full.

I cannot bring myself to look at the video...but please, take a moment to follow the link here and sign the petition. ANYONE who can abuse an animal like that, tape it and put it out for the world to see as if they are proud of it, ANYONE LIKE THAT IS SERIOUSLY SICK AND TWISTED AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MINGLE WITH THE REST OF SOCIETY WHERE THEY CAN PREY ON OTHER PEOPLE'S PETS AND CHILDREN.


INVITE EVERYONE YOU CAN:

Kenny had his brother film two videos of him torturing and abusing his cat, Dusty, on www.youtube.com under the user name glennspam1. In the videos, Kenny can be seen throwing Dusty, hitting him, and committing other atrocious acts against the small pet.
Many websites have surfaced in protest:

On February 15th, 2009, a horrendous atrocity was beheld by thousands on YouTube, an atrocity of such magnitude that should never be performed. This suffering will not go without reciprocation!

Think of 15 albums, CDs, LPs (if you're over 40) that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life. Dug into your soul. Music that brought you to life when you heard it. Royally affected you, kicked you in the wazoo, literally socked you in the gut, is what I mean. Then when you finish, tag 15 others, including moi. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill. Get the idea now? Good. Tag, you're it!
