Just a very quick post to say that I'm on an unexpected blog break. My computer is broken and to though that has kept me from letting you know about my absence here, to tell the truth the computer actually seems like nothing, since we found out that our Mouse is very sick. Ultrasounds show something scary in her lung and we are still testing, hoping it's something more treatable than cancer, like an infection, but it's not responding to antibiotics, and she has a bad cough... Of course we are heartbroken & I just haven't been able to reconnect online with it all.
Sorry for the bad news, but I feel like you are all such good friends and you've all expressed the sweetest love for our fur baby in your comments on my crazy cat lady posts, so I wanted to let you know what was going on.
To those of you who have been lovely enough to email me about your beautiful creations with my papers, I truly appreciate it, but I haven't been able to answer and I'm not sure when I will be back in the digital world, sorry about that.
Love,
Mel
P.S. The photo is one that I took when I found miss Mouse asleep in the paper recycling tray.
I'm so sorry about Mouse! We have a neighbor whose elderly, blind fur baby got kidnapped...she was later turned in at the animal shelter! Miracles do happen with our furbabies...I'm praying for you and your Mouse!

So sorry to hear about Mouse. Hope things will improve. Miracles do happen, you know. One of our cats went missing for 3 months and came back in perfect health and more cuddly than ever, and our ginger cat Kokkini survived a car accident last year and has recovered remarkably well. Sending positive vibes...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Mel. I know what it is like to have a loved pet sick. We paid $1,000 for an emergency clinic 24 hr service only to hear that an operation would ccst $5,000 and without it, she would die. My heart breaks for you. Life needs to give you a break. Hugs, Beth
ReplyDeleteHugs, hugs and more hugs. we will ALWAYS be here when you return!!!! On a side note...I just picked up an AMAZING deal on a Lenovo computer at Lenovo.com. I purchased the Z10 idea pad with quad processors and a 17 inch screen, 8 gigs of RAM and a super fast processor. It was worth every penny! :) They have great specials every week. This is the 3rd Lenovo we have bought since Christmas...that's how impressed I am with them. One for dh, one for ds and one for me.
ReplyDeleteEnglish is not my motherlanguage, that means it is hard to say what I think, but I know all your heardbreaking feelings. We where 4 (2 with 2 legs and 2 with 4 legs) and they are the world for us.
ReplyDeleteWe four sending positive energy and thoughts your way and all the best,

ReplyDeleteFrom one crazy cat lady to another....sending love and warm thoughts and purrs to you and Mouse.
ReplyDeleteMel, you and Mouse will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love seeing your beautiful baby. We have one almost identically colored as Mouse that we call Monkey. We too have been having some medical problems with our babies. One is diabetic with two injections a day and Monkey with glaucoma. We also lost our baby girl Cricket this past year. Such a beautiful part of our lives and so hard when they have problems we cannot fix. Hope your news is good with Mouse and she is on the mend soon.
ReplyDeletehugs......
I am so sorry to hear that. I hope it does turn out to be something treatable. We have lost 3 cats this year to one thing or another and I know how hard it is when they're sick, it's such a helpless feeling. You will both be in my thoughts, give Mouse a smooch for me.
ReplyDeletePrayers to St. Francis for your sweet Mouse - good luck!

Gosh I hope Mouse gets well soon. I'll keep you and your sweet Mouse in my thoughts and prayers (and keep my fingers crossed too just in case). It's so scarry when our furbaby is sick! Big hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your cat's illness. Thanks for letting us know. I have really enjoyed your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Mel
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read about Miss Mouse. I know how worrying it is to have a sick pet - sadly. The week before Christmas I took one of my own cats to the vet because she just started acting strange like she didn't know where she was or what she was doing, then had 4 seizures. The vet said that there were numerous things wrong - I didn't want her to go through loads of tests for her to have a poor quality of life, so I had to let her go.
Praying that you are not in the same situation - and that it can indeed be treated. They really are such a big part of our lives and family that it shouldn't be underestimated the love we have for them and the worrying we do like they are our children...
Will be here when you re-connect with the on-line world... you'll know when the time is right for you. In the meantime, take good care of yourself.

I am so sorry to hear about lil Mouse. I really hope all is well and something minor. You and Mousy will be in my prayers. I too have a little 4 legged kitty named Banana and I can only imagine what you're going through. Hugs and kisses.
ReplyDeleteMel, I am so sorry. I will keep you all in my prayers and sending you a big hug!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mel. I am saddened to hear your Mouse is coughing. Please remember all of us are with you! All of us who have loved a pet feel so much concern for you right now. Many cyber-hugs are coming your way!!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and sweet Mouse, Jo x
ReplyDeleteOh, Mel...I'm so sorry to hear this. Being a crazy cat lady myself, I feel your pain and concerns. Keeping you and Mouse in my prayers. Big cyber {{{HUGS}}} to you both.
ReplyDeleteMel, I am so sorry to hear about your Miss Mouse. The day after Christmas we lost Digit, our polydactyl (multi-toed) baby. She definitely was a baby, when you picked her up she would wrap her paws around your neck and go completely limp. If we didn't have another, Miss Piggy, I can't imagine how heartbreaking it would be, I know what you are going through. I will keep you and your family in my prayers .God Bless You Sweetie.
