Stinky back from vet

Stinky is back home from the vet. His own vet is on maternity leave, so we
saw the boss vet of the practice.
He said that Stinky is a very old cat, and that subQ is not a miracle cure.
He also said that I was doing all I could and shouldn't beat myself up. He
said that there may be other clinical reasons for his decline, like a tumor
we can't find, or anemia, and that well, he is old, and can't respond to the
care we give him as he did when he was younger. He took blood and I'm going
to call tomorrow to find if there is anything new. I am glad and relieved
Stink is home with me today, but I frankly don't expect to hear anything
hopeful tomorrow. It wasn't today, but the day I have dreaded will be very
soon, I'm afraid. Oh, my sweet boy.

Sometimes when we want one more summer with them, we get it, but that
is all we get. Just keep loving him the best way you know how for as
long as you can. That's all they really want anyway.

Purrs and prayers for Stinky (the gorgeous boy) and for you. MLB

With my Scooter Dog last year, I wanted one more Christmas, my husband was
gone and I wasn't ready to be alone and, because she was so funny and
enjoyed eating all the goodies. A little before Thanksgiving, I figured out
that what I WANTED, was not best for her. It is hard and especially all the
years you have had. Prayers and hugs for you and Stinky.

YOUR BEST IS ALL YOU CAN DO.

Theresa & Stinky

He may be at a low point and come back again. He is still eating some
and still able to express his love for you. He is still The Big Dood
and we are all pulling for him. Don't anticipate the end, stay in the
moment, all too easy to advise.

{{{Theresa}}} You still have Stinky for now, so love him all you can.
Alas, our four footed dear ones do not have the life span we want them
to have! I hope he'll pull out of his doldrums and perk up soon so
that you need not say farewell just yet.

PS Just want to thank you all for your continued purrs for my boy. We are
just trying to make sure he's comfy as possible and feeling loved. He took
a nap with Mom in her bed this afternoon, curled up against her tummy, like
he usually does with me.
