OMG! I need a break!

[Brandi]

Not only am I dealing with all the family issues and being a mom this week for my older neice but I have cat issues now. My cat aki who is in the picture is dealing with an abcess on the base of her tail. Very painful had to rush her to the vet yesterday Then this cat that is our neighbors cat has had this open abcess on his face for months and doesn't seem to heal. They don't seem to really care about him. Well i couldn't take it anymore today and took him to the shelter to see if they could help him. Well we went in and we cleaned the cheek and a peice of scab (sorry) came off and under that was a twig! OMG! Poor baby has been dealing with this for months. i have taken care of him and tried to get his wound to heal. but I didn't think there was a something like that in it. We have 3 cats of our own and it already costs so much to take care of them. But lucky for us this shelter is run by a nurse and all I had to do was ask for help and she gave it to me. I did donate $60.00 for all she did for him.She tested him for the usuals and really flushed and cleaned his wound. He is resting in my kitchen window. I will hopeful be giving him antibiotics for a week and go yell at his owner's. ohhhh they make me soooo mad! So I have two sick cats now as well. AHHHHHHHHH! I am being tested I think. I am going to whoop up so much during the holidays I swear. You know that part in Christmas Vacation when Chevy goes off? That is how I feel right now. I just made myself giggle thinking of me ranting like that! Off to make the Hap hap happiest ginger bread house with my neice!

(((Brandi))) Your post has me laughing away in my cubicle. Sorry you are stressed, I was just thinking about days I have felt the same. Thanks for saving the poor neglected kitty from his twig face! Deep breath, big glass of wine, you definitely earned a break!

You are a very important to that kitty, to your niece, and to your sister. And don't forget about yourself!

Hey maybe your niece can give you a mani-pedi!

Brandi, hang in there. Gosh you are such a strong person. You are someone I definately admire.

Well bless your heart, Brandi. Thank you for opening your heart to the kitty in need. I believe you will be repaid four fold for being a Good Samaritan. Sending you a big hug and continued prayers for your neice.

Brandi, I think you have another cat...just sayin'.

Things will calm down. Maybe you and niece could go get pedicures together -- might be a fun thing, and a treat for your stressed out self.
