Fog & Nik

Look at my boys snuggling!

Update on Foggy

Just a few minutes ago, his right eye was gooey and weepy. OMG! I jumped on that, cleaned it. Checked his mouth and found his right K-9 is swollen at the gum line. I administered his antibiotic and pain med. Fog is currently seated on the sofa cleaning his face and body. He must have one hell of a pain threshold.

This is a tough time for me. What to do??? I know I made a decision, but it is a simple abscess... decisions...

A day at the park with the CDC kiddos!

Today, Hermione and I went to volunteer at the park with the little ones. We rarely get to play with this group, since I work during the day. I was unsure how it was going to go.

It turned out better then I thought. Several of the little ones wanted to play fetch with Hermione. Though, the kids couldn't throw far, tHermione was more then thrilled to get the ball each time. The kids were so great with Hermione. In return, Hermione was great with the kids.

I am one lucky pet owner!!!! Bravo, Hermione!!!!!!

Foggy - Update

Correction - Foggy is 14.5 years old. He is acting like his normal self. Eating, loving, sleeping and every thing else. I give him his meds. I don't see any changes. But as of now it is all good.

I made a decision. He is older and how much longer does he truly have. It is a hard decision, but I am going to let Foggy tell me when he is ready to go. No man-handling of my old man. He has lived a full life and will continue until that day comes.

In the end, I will have him cremated and he will be with me forever.

Foggy

I am scared... very scared. My 13 year old cat, Fog, has a huge open smelly wound in his mouth. Poor oral care, of course. It is on his left side and the back teeth are very loose. This is going to be a whopper of a visit at the vet's office. He is laying on the sofa next to me cleaning himself, after the bath I gave him. He seems to not be bothered by the issues in his mouth. He is still very spry, loving and alert. I have to do what I can to make him better... Now will 730 hurry up! (I need to call the vet!)
