    Sunlee

    Does anyone remember SunLee? She was one of Hope's cats. I adopted her in 2009 after Hope passed away. It is with a heavy heart that I post this message of her peaceful passing in the night. Her health has been in decline since an episode of pneumonia last year that caused damage to her lungs...

    SunLee Update

    About the hospital, what goes around comes around. They shut their doors a few days ago. The news reports are that two of the owners ripped off the third owner. That owner won a lawsuit, and rather than do the right thing, the two filed bankruptsy and left. No notice was given to employees or...

    SunLee Update

    Thank you for the kind thoughts on Tucker. It helps. More on SunLee. She is a delightful kitty. She has a very "happy" personality. I don't think she has any concept that not everyone feels that way (animal or human). She seems to be smiling all the time. She snuggles with ZoZo or Bruiser at...

    SunLee Update

    SunLee has finally adjusted, completely, to the household. Sorry for the lack of updates. I was computerless for a while. By October, she was moving freely about the house even with the dogs nearby. By November, she was sleeping on the bed, with the dogs and cats. One day I found her sleeping...

    Frustrated...any advice?

    Sorry you have been feeling poorly. It might be helpful to check you temperature at the onset of chills and then again in an hour or so since chills and shaking often occur when fever begins. If your temp rises, it might help the MD sort it out since fever is more common to infection then panic...

    Care to share your divorce stories?

    First, sorry you have to go through this. No matter the circumstances, it is always painful to end a relationship. Now, my story. I came home from a long day at work to find the house mostly empty, as well as the bank account. He had recently talked me into consolidating my credit union account...

    Should I see a doctor?

    I'm glad you are going to the doctor. A coworker had a headache following the flu and was diagnosed with viral encephalitis. The good news is, she fully recovered and the treatment was time to let it run its course (few weeks). They have more antiviral drugs now, so maybe the time to recovery...

    Potassium Deficiencies

    I'm sure your doctor mentioned water intake, but I will share this story. I knew someone who had low potassium problems for a while, lots of tests, no answers. When she landed in the ICU, it was discovered that she was drinking 5-7 liters of plain water each day because she thought more water...

    A Rude Awakening

    Thanks, everyone, for the kind thoughts. I will check with the neurologist, and if no contraindications with current meds, I will start high dose B6 vits. Thanks, CatMom2Wires, for the suggestion. I have been home cooking food (to avoid additives and limit the variables) without improvement, so...

    A Rude Awakening

    My dog, Tucker, had a seizure starting at 4:15 AM. It lasted 21 minutes! He has had a seizure disorder for almost a year but usually they last about 2 minutes. He has been to see two neurologists. The first neurologist said to watch him, no treatment! He is now on three medications and the...

    Argh. guy rant?

    RUN!!! If you don't, and choose to continue the relationship, do a background check ASAP. Look at criminal record (may not show if he was a juvenile) and financial situation. Also, google sociopath. But really, just RUN! FAST!!

    Work Rant....

    I assume the rude woman's behavior was alcohol fueled. Can't reason with those people. Kudos to you for remaining professional. Could you suggest a policy change to pay in advance for parties with refund for timely cancellation?

    I forgot Bruiser! My bad. I'd ask Bruiser how he stay so calm and centered.

    Ask a cat a question !

    I'd ask SunLee if she is happy. I'd ask ZoZo why he doesn't want his back touched. I'd ask Pacer and Joshua (cats who have crossed the bridge) who burglarized our house. This is a great thread!
