Show us your pets!

Lisa - I'm so sorry to hear about your sweetie. Sending good karma your way and hoping she's doing better today.
Your cats are beautiful, by the way.

Good healing juju from the Big Easy.

Lisa,
I'm just glad Lydia has had you and your DH to cuddle with the last 8 years.

Lisa,

We are too! DH just had a major cuddle session with her in the rocking chair, all warm, and cleaned her face and made her feel good.


I don't want to get my hopes up, but Lydia started drinking tuna water again this morning- yesterday she couldn't drink anything at all, she couldn't swallow with all her gagging and congestion. She looks just horrific, but she can still walk around, we can still manage to get her purring, and we'll see what today brings. I honestly thought she'd be 'gone' this morning.
We are continuing with the water shots and the antibiotic pills. Despite feeling pretty bad about doing it, I poked four little soft cat treats down her throat this morning to keep her from starving to death. But now, just ten minutes ago, DH got her to eat three treats on her own. Maybe all your healing vibes are reaching her?
Keeping my fingers crossed...

Strangely, Lydia has improved a little since Saturday (her day literally at death's door).
She is still so thin and weak, but her congestion/respiratory infection has definitely improved and she is still bravely lapping up tuna water. We continue with her water treatments and pills and drops, and showering her with positive gentle care.

Since she seems to have changed her mind about dying, for the moment anyway, I am going to start a new thread for her so I don't keep hijacking this "Show us your pets" thread.
Thank you all for your healing vibes- perhaps they are working!

Check in on the Lydia thread if you want to keep up with her progress.
Thank you all so much- your encouragement and sympathy has meant a great deal to me.

Bump.

Lisa, sorry again about Lydia's passing. Are the other kitties mourning?

My doggie updates:
I spoke to an animal behaviorist about Rusty. He has still been marking the house and I'm at my wits end. She gave me some good ideas which were implemented immediately. She believes he might have been kenneled outside and was not able to socialize properly because he won't play with any toys. And his ability to open the door to let himself out would also be another indicator. He doesn't interact with the dogs at the dog park except to try and hump them to establish dominance.. We're working on it. He's a good dog that just needs some training. Looks like we're both learning

And poor Zeus is not having a good day. He looks really old today or in pain. He couldn't get into the car on his own today either and was a picky eater. Hopefully just a bad day and he'll be himself tomorrow.

Mickchick, yoo hooo! Any pics of your new furkid?

I let my dogs play in the creek today.
The dachshundmix dog loves the water, the other girl,not so much. well not at all, really.

After they got out of the creek I gave the doxie a bath, no fuss no muss. The other one, a death match. Then she went and laid in the mulch pile and I had to rinse her again!

[sundial]

Lol! They know how to push your buttons.

That is too much. That cat is awfully patient, til it turned into a vampire.

My cat Monkey is my plant-gnawing, floppy, tennis ball chasing pride and joy!
Here are some pics from when she was a kitten!


This next picture is a high speed shot of her trying to eat a little plastic cat that my brother and I tied to a string and swatted around.

I just wanted to post a picture of one of my retarded cats, his name is Wiggy. I guess he just got so tired studying the map of Indiana that he was pooped!!!

[LittleBird]

This post is the best!

I don't have my Border Collie anymore but I still love showing pictures to everyone of him.

[Trekhawk]

Oh they are all so cute.
Love this thread.
