Day 3

December 8, 2008

Day 3 post-Widgit, and I’m doing a little better. At least the fog has lifted somewhat and I seem to be able to focus a bit more, if even for short periods. The last couple of days have been pretty rough for both of us. I’ve been out shooting the sunsets, even though they haven’t [...]

Remembering Widgit

December 6, 2008

Our little Widgit was sedated and went peacefully yesterday evening. She was a fighter. We miss her terribly.

Aloha, Dear Friend

December 5, 2008

I just scheduled Widgit’s euthanasia for 4:30 this afternoon, a little less than 6 hours from now. I know I’m a mess of emotion inside, but as usual, I’m in task-oriented mode right now and don’t feel a thing. I don’t know how my psyche does that, but I know I can always rely on [...]

On The Road Back

October 17, 2008

It’s still slow going, but it’s looking like Widgit is on the road back. She’s back to her old self in many ways. She hangs out on (yes, I said on) our feet whenever we’re in the kitchen acting as if our only reason to be there is to give her something to eat. This [...]

Getting Better All The Time

October 9, 2008

It’s slow, but there’s a little improvement every day. She’s started voluntarily eating fish without too much coddling when we put it in front of her, even without the appetite stimulators. We’ll have to figure out how to transition her to the food she’s supposed to be eating pretty soon. She’s moving around on her [...]

She’s Eating

October 7, 2008

Well, it’s a lean fish (mahimahi in this case—she always did have expensive tastes), not the renal food she’s supposed to be eating, but any food is better than no food at this point, and she managed to consume a tablespoon’s worth last night, then another this morning. Granted, it takes me sitting her up, [...]

Stressed Kitty, Stressed Parents

October 6, 2008

My parents just did their first round of IV fluids with me and we’re all stressed. I fought and complained and mommy tried to hold me still while daddy stuck the needle in my scruff. Now I have this big hump on my back! They’re letting me calm down and then they’re going to give [...]

Sick Kitty

September 29, 2008

I’m sick! They say I have kidney disease and they stuck my in this cage with this thing in my leg I can’t get rid of! My mommy and daddy came to see me but they didn’t take me home! I want to go home!
