Well, you know how I feel about Little Buddy, so
for you and him and Shomie. I wish we could be there in person for you, like Belinda said. You are one of the sweetest kindest people I have ever met, and you love Buddy with all your heart. It showed when we were there last year.

Little Buddy update:

Little Buddy has been doing a lot better than I thought he would be doing. The doctor said he was eating food before I even picked him up this morning. He has been eating all day among his sleeping. He is such a strong trooper. Shomie has been paying a bunch of attention to him but Shomie doesn't know that Buddy should be treated with "kid gloves". I know Buddy is doing good because he took a swipe at Shomie when she was slobbering on Buddy too much.

Buddy is slow moving and kind of stops in his tracks at any place so you got be careful walking around... he could be anywhere where you least expect it.

As bad of shape Buddy is in right now, I am really happy on how he has been since I got him from the hospital this morning. When I got him home I could tell he was so happy to be home. He was rubbing against things and he ate some food immediately. I had some reading material ready and Buddy spent hours sleeping by my side.

Of course Buddy has been sleeping a lot after his surgery yesterday but I am so impressed on how he just keeps on going as best he can. I didn't have to use the feeding tube for his regular food. I have to give him vitamin boosters through his feeding tube twice a day and geez, did I have a problem with that. Well, it was the first time so I'll get it figured out and we are going back to the doctor on Tuesday and I can bring that up with him.

All in all, I am in a very good mood right now with how Buddy is coping. He is a fighter and I love him for that, among other things!

Little Buddy looks really hideous with his feeding tube taped around his neck and over his poor head along with his hair shaved off all over the place. If you saw him it would be like how the people reacted in the movie Shrek when seeing him... ahhh, an ogre!!! If you ask me, Little Buddy is just as handsome as he was as a kitten 13 years ago.

Oh yea... Buddy has his own room now. I didn't want Buddy going downstairs where the cat box was and jumping up where his food was. He now has the upstairs guest room as his own personal palace. He can eat, drink and poop to his hearts desire without being bothered by Shomie.

I want to say thank you to you all for your prayers and thoughts. Also, to Buddy's Doctor who has done a fantastic job in taking care of Buddy. I know it is going to be really trying going forward but compared to a couple days ago, I feel so much better right now because of you all, my friends!

Great that Buddy is home and doing so good, Mark. I know he missed you and even probably missed Shomie, although he wouldn't admit it.
The vet should be able to help you with the feeding tube issues, and Buddy's hair will grow back. You will get some semblance of normalcy before long.

Mark, I'm glad Buddy is home and being pampered as is his due.
Of course he's as handsome as ever -- no silly tube can obscure his wonderful spirit. It's great that he's doing so well. Sending lots of feel better vibes.

Hi, I don't know you but Buddy's story touched my heart and I will be praying for you and him to have a joyous time together, doing anything he feels like doing. Show him all the love you have for him and that will sustain both of you forever. Keep up the good attitude and love.

Helene, slave to my babies.

You don't know how much this means to me.


Everyone's concerns have been so important to me and I thank you!


I am so glad my friends LSULOVER and Neetanddave got me here!

Little Buddy is doing very good! He is eating up a storm. He is going to the doctor on Monday to take his stitches out.

As long as he keeps on eating, and he is certainly doing that, all is well. I hydrate him with the feeding tube but have not had to use it for food.

It is amazing on how well he is doing. He is starting to do some of the stuff he used to do and getting a little more active each day.

I can't figure it out but except for his doctor's care and all your prayers and thoughts!

He still has all them tumors in him and he pretty much has lost his voice, but it is kind of like a miracle!
