    My sweet Eponine

    Thank you so much, y'all. The pain of her loss is blinding. Even Cosette and Dooley (our dog) seem depressed. This home and our lives are not the same without our beautiful girl.

    My sweet Eponine

    Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I wanted to let everyone know that I had to make the extremely difficult decision to put Eponine down this morning. She had been fighting Vaccine-Associated Sarcoma for over a year now, but she recently took a very bad turn & I...

    Eponine has cancer

    Thank you so much, y'all. She is recovering AMAZINGLY well right now (thank you God!) and time will tell how things look in the long-run. Does anyone here have any experience with feline VAS?

    Eponine has cancer

    Hi everyone, I know I haven't been very active on here lately (working full-time and taking care of a very busy toddler will do that to ya!), but it is with a heavy heart that I am letting you know that my beautiful little Eponine has cancer. Last week, I felt a lump on her side, just in front...

    Long time no see/ a LOT has happened!

    Sarah- the heart will grow as he grows, but there are potential complications down the road (too many to list) and most people who survive for more than 10-15 years with a heart transplant end up getting another transplant at some point. However, there are some new medicines in development now...

    Goodbye, Mr. Underfoot.

    I was just thinking of your little guy the other day, as Mr. Underfoot is still, to me, the most genius kitty name I have ever heard. I am so, so sorry for your loss

    Long time no see/ a LOT has happened!

    Thank you so much everyone! It's great to "see" so many familiar faces welcoming me back . Not sure how often I'll have time to be active here, but I will definitely try to post pictures as soon as I can! For now, I do have one as my profile pic, taken about 2 months post-transplant! Cabell is...

    Long time no see/ a LOT has happened!

    Hi everyone, It has been...wow...a LONG time since I've been on here. I hope everyone is doing great! I'm on here after what could only be described as an unbelieveable year... Last Christmas Day, I gave birth to our son, Cabell (rhymes with "scrabble" or "babble"). He was beautiful and we...

    Meet Dooley, our Italian Greyhound

    Thanks everyone! We are quite partial to our Dooley dog, too . He just stole our hearts right away. You're so right! They are fragile guys! Apparently he has already suffered a broken leg when he was a couple of months old, so we're very very cautious with him. Fortunately, all he has to contend...

    Meet Dooley, our Italian Greyhound

    Hi everyone! I know I've been extremely absent here lately, but I'm in my last semester of grad school (Yay!) and that and work have kept me busy. Anyway, we have a new addition to the family. My husband has wanted an Italian Greyhound forever (they're his favorite breed). His mom rescues...

    Red definitely suits my personality (firey!) but blues and greens bring out my wacky eye color!
