We have lost another kitty. Tanner continued to loose weight but was eating like a little pig. He seemed fine yesterday morning but by last night at 1:30 AM he couldn't even stand up. His eyes were sunken in and he seemed to not be there mentally. We took him to the vet hospital since it is a 24 hour facility. He was in respiratory distress. This was not apparent in the morning but was super bad when we took him in. We put him down. I couldn't stand to see him suffering and wasting away further. We will miss him but now his pain and suffering is over. Now there are four cats. (That number is down from twelve in the beginning.)
That's the news from here.

Hi there!
I have been busy this last year learning new things. I took the time to learn how to shuttle tat and bead crochet. Now I'm settling into my beading again. Here is the necklace I just finished.
This is an African Netted Necklace in size 15 seed beads. I still enjoy making my beaded jewelry. Bead weaving becomes a obsession!
The animals are doing pretty well, but Tanner is getting very skinny. The vet feels that he probably has cancer but doesn't seem that sick. He is getting weaker. He is one of the cats we brought in from outside to give them a forever home. He was getting beaten up every day by other cats. He was not young when we brought him in. He would pee all over when we had to pick him up to put him in a carrier to transport him to the vet and back. A vet tech reached into the carrier one time and picked him up and he peed all over her shoes! We couldn't pet him until about two years ago. Now he can't get enough petting.
Unfortunately most of the pets we rescue end up with cancer because they had trauma in their lives before we adopted them. We have two dogs from a puppy mill in California. Doodle, we don't know about his previous life. The cats were all strays except for Zoey. We got her from the Humane Society. She came from a home were she was not allowed on anything but the floor. She had a thyroid problem and they didn't want to deal with it so they gave her away.
