    It has been a long time - PART ONE and TWO (Very long, but please read.)

    I'm so sorry about the loss of your kitties.  There never is anything easy about life. If I have learned anything about life is that it can be full of disappointment, unfairness, cruelty, etc. We all endure hardships of all kinds, but it isn't until you endure them that you truly realize how...

    my heart is broken

    Don't beat yourself up! I've done it a number of times, by accident, with them darting in front of me. You have to remember that animals are very forgiving...they know that you don't mean it. Try giving your cat some treats to make up for it. Sometimes this works...and sometimes not, but no...

    How to survive & even enjoy Xmas w/out a family

    I think you did a wonderful job! I am in the same boat as you, but you are one step above me. I cut off my dad's family because they are very toxic and negative (they were never part of my life and I am not missing out on anything). Thankfully,  they live far, far away. The only family I have...

     Keira is a little demon child!    She aggravates me as much as any 5 year old, is too smart for her own good, but she makes me laugh. Thanks Jcat for the info on uploading! I was getting so frustrated at the new system that if I had to do it a third time I was going to just say forget it!

    When I pulled up to the house today I could see a large box at my front door! Wohhooooo However, since I won't be getting much for Christmas and have nothing under my tree it will sit there until Christmas Eve when I officially open gifts!

    I'm sure that whoever your Santee is that they will surely understand. It's the thought that counts anyway, right?

    Found another growth....very upset.

    Thanks everyone for your kind words. My plan is to see an oncologist so that I can have more information before deciding what the next best step would be for her. I have seen the human race have to suffer with cancer with no end it sight and for that very reason I will not allow her to endure...

    Found another growth....very upset.

    I got a call from the vet today hoping for the best, but being prepared for the worst. It never seems to end - the suffering. Not on my end, but having to see it over and over and sitting helplessly on the side. It is her sarcoma and it has come back. It is a very aggressive form which means I...

    Found another growth....very upset.

    Thanks everyone. She is doing as well as she can under the circumstances. She stayed in her carrier all night on my bed, but did come out for a bit to sleep with me. She ended up peeing on the towel I had in there....poor girl....it probably hurt too much for her to get up so I don't blame...
