Morning Everyone
The sun is up and Missy is happy.
Off with Dianne to do her bloods and then a bit of shopping. Will do one of the oppies if she is up to it.
Then she has suggested a nice pie and half a donut each for lunch. She is an enabler lol... But she's having a hard time tasting food, side effect of the chemo so eats what she fancies.
Its very weird that all my travel is sorted etc. means I can relax now.. Its normally the part that worries me the most.
Have a wonderful day everyone

Suns out so that's promising.That's great news, popeye. Not long to wait now.
MrK had good news too. He has his oncology appointment next Tuesday. We will be able to make informed decisions soon.
But on the bad news front, we have decided to have the Furry One put to sleep. He is anxious and missing MrK and there is no way I will be able to afford the nearly $100 a month for his epilepsy meds. I didn't think my heart could break any more and I feel like a complete bi*** for doing this. MrK is also devastated but we both agree this is for the best. He is almost 15 and has had a great life chasing rabbits and digging holes. So, one more car ride this morning for him. Please don't judge, it's hard enough to cope with everything without this in the mix.
RE: You can never have enough... - popeye333 - 16-10-2025
No Judging at all KM.
The Furry one has had a wonderful life with you.. He was blessed to have had awesome parents.
We had to do the same without our Foxy boy. Who was only young, but the absolute fear we saw when MrP had to use his walking stick was something our Vet said would never change.
The man over the fence had been threatening, not sure if he hit him with his walking stick. It was only when Digger shyed when MrP picked up his stick that we figured out what had been going on.
It will be a huge gap for you both. But guaranteed he will be chasing animals when he has crossed the rainbow bridge.
Will be hard for the grandies too, but they will cope.
Big Hugs..
RE: You can never have enough... - Roma - 16-10-2025
Good morning.
Sunshine ... that means I can be outside today
No school duty as sick GD.Oh KM, that is more sad news for you. I absolutely support your decision, something we can do for our beloved pets when they reach the end of their lives. The Furry One has indeed had a great life and you will have many happy memories.
No plan today, but look forward to being away this weekend which includes my sister's birthday gathering.
Enjoy the day all
Meant to say, good news for you Popeye with all your surgery plans falling into place. Nice that you can go into it with no worries.

In the days after I lost my husband I had to come to terms with a lot of stuff, including the fact that winter was approaching and the house had big holes in the walls where he had been replacing structural stuff. At first I failed to notice one of our cats had picked up on my grief and was breaking down but then the signs became unmistakeable. He was attacking strangers, spraying everywhere, howling when locked away, and would not be comforted. I had no choice, our wonderful vet came up to the house and as the cat lay in my arms he went to sleep and never woke up. And it was unbelievably hard, I felt so guilty, but really, his misery was over, and I had one less thing to deal with. It was among the earliest of the impossible decisions that got made, and funny thing, I have had a lot of cats over the years and I remember all their names. But my mind has filed that little grey cat's name away in a box somewhere and hidden it from me.
He was such a treasure though, just not meant to be old bones. Nowadays I can remember him with love, and understand just how much strength we women have when we need it. It may be buried deep, but it is there, and we can do all this stuff, as impossible as it seems at the time. Hang in there km, you are are doing fine, and love to Mr KM, being helpless is almost as difficult when life gets to the uphill bits...
RE: You can never have enough... - Mica - 16-10-2025
Morning
Overcast going to be windy.
Oh KM I feel how devastated you both must feel however don't second guess yourself he will live in your heart forever ♥ and this group I have great visions of him and his bunny chasing antics.
Good news about MrK oncology appointment easier to make informed decisions when you actually have information.
My day at warehouse this morning and supermarket run this afternoon so thats my day filled up.
I trotted along to presentation last night even though I am retired I find it interesting to keep up with the current research influencing treatments etc.
Putting my hand up I like apricot jam and cheese topping don't get it much any more . I make a branded apricot jam for Xmas to give as gifts.
Enjoy your day

Home made apricot jam and a chunk of cheese was MrPs favourite.. Glad he is not around for it now with the prices of dairy food.
