Pain and all its "wonderful" forms.

[pumanator]

Well...just posting the random stuff of what comes down the pike. feel free to share same.

Proverbs talks about the righteous man sees to the needs of his animals. We have 3 cats, all rescues of one form or t'other. This week I learned how to give a cat an I V drip...fun. kidney failure and this will only give her a little more time with us...seems small in the sea of pain the world experiences but I can't help wonder if the creatures God has encharged to our keeping will be around in eternity...I know the theological answer but...

My Jewish, non believing step dad took a nasty fall, fall is what took my mom away last summer, and Lord willing the snow coming in will not keep us from him this weekend.

 

[One day at a time]

You talked about your cats and I would like to say....we have a little peekapoo and she is a joy and comfort to me since I spend so much time by myself. It's not always fun having to get up and take her out...but she is my constant companion. And even though recently I found out that I'm allergic to her (which I think I knew--just ignored)...she is so much like one of my children, I would never think of just getting rid of her. She sleeps with us and her favorite spot is up on my shoulder and lay across my chest with the covers up around her. (She has always been cold---so we get along well! ) I've gotten her to make her howl or bark sound like "I love you"...its the cutes ever!
So if our pets could be in heaven....I think that would be a wonderful thing!!

My vet tells me its the saliva on the fur from cats washing that most ppl are allergic to...not sure about dogs but in the case of the cat it simply requires baths...oh, yea great fun but maybe worth it.

My "pusakots" have always been near and dear...everytime one goes beyond it is a black day at the house. In the book All Creatures Great and Small the vet/author talks about the cycle of love and pain we experience with out furry companions and he discourages ppl from not replacing the lost pet but simply accept the cycle for what it is and give thanks for the love and time with the animals we share our lives with.
