For the last month I was off the boards to get some things in my life sorted out. As many of you know, I had to send Phoenix back to the shelter because Nakita's health was declining and they were not getting along. For those who aren't familiar, here's the original thread: Rehoming Phoenix
I just wanted to thank everyone for the support of my decision and for the PM's and thoughts you sent my way. They were so appreciated and I really needed the support after making such a difficult decision. I am happy to report that Phoenix found a home this past week. I will so miss that little calico.
I have taken Nakita to the vets a couple of times over the last month. We currently have her on short-term Prednisone to calm down her system and a restricted diet. The problem has been that she refuses to eat the diet after a couple of days so I'm hoping this new food will agree with her. Once we wean her off the Prednisone I hope the food will maintain her stability otherwise we'll have to look at other options. She weighed in at 4.8 pounds at the vets and the receptionist couldn't believe that Nakita is 4 years old!
Hopefully she will gain a little bit of weight since Prednisone has a side effect of increased eating. I'll be happy for her to gain some weight!
Also, I will be starting a new job on Oct. 30th! It's been a struggle over the last few months but it looks like things are finally changing. Plus, the company is just up the street so I can walk to work. No more long commutes or subway delays!!
After my probationary period is over we can continue with our renovations - which will include tearing down walls on the first floor, expanding the bathroom and moving and building a new kitchen.
Just wanted to give an update and a big thank you to all who sent their thoughts, prayers and good wishes my way.
