Well it's mid February and the cats (9) are all loosing their Winter hair buildup. Boy, do I need a Dyson ! It would be super if I could use the hairballs to make something crafty.
Last year was a hard one because we lost our precious Maggie and Michael. Maggie was a Schnauzer that we rescued from a neighbor that was beating her when she was 9 months old. She lived with us for almost 11 years but the last year was a hard one. She had Diabetes and a bladder stone. We got the Diabetes under control and had the bladder stone operated on...... only to find out that she had a Cancerous growth crowding out one of her Lungs. She passed on August 16, 2009.
Michael was a rescue from my son who had his girlfriend move in with him and she wasn't fond of dogs....... So he stayed with Gramma and Grampa until he became sick with Congestive Heart Failure and had to be put down in March. He was an American Eskimo. We also lost two cats..... Snowball to Liver failure, and Wabbit to uncontrolled Diabetes.
Every time we loose one, a new one shows up at our door. I swear there is a small mark that only the animals can see that appears out in front of the house when there is a vacancy in here.
Most of the Fur people we have taken in have special health problems too. Since we are not wealthy people...this is a hardship at times.
We now have one of our older cats (Midge) who is on Thyroid medication. She became inactive for around three days and when I took her to the box (since I had not seen her move all day) Her head went down, her front feet went out from under her and she fell into the cat litter landing on her neck and face. I picked her up and put her on the floor and she did the same thing ! Apparently she has an under functioning Thyroid according to the Vet we took her to.
I'll explain more of the fuzzball gang another time.
