Long time no meow

It has been so very long since we posted.

Time measured in months, lost furriends and lost hoomins. We found ourselves only posting when one of our community passed to the Rainbow Bridge, either to wait or to go and retrieve their beloved ones for the final crossing. It was too much for Dad. Work was bad enough, but the sense of loss also started to hurt too much. But when one asks for a miracle, sometimes one is given.

Dolce has decided that she has a SUPER POWER! She has for the last four months decided that her secondary job (Primary job is detecting food and scritches) is monitoring her GIK (Grandma in KInd) diabetes. She has been 7 for 7 notifying my MIL when her blood sugar is low. I have seen her reaction myself. She will get right into my MIL face and give her the CAT STARE OF REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF. If that doesn't work, she will start her trademark yelling in Cat. The MIL has accepted that Dolce knows best. If Dolce alerts to her low blood sugar, she tests her blood and then acts accordingly. Did I mention that Dolce has been 100% accurate so far?

As for everyone else... Baci and Bella are fine. Smudge is starting to face his last battle with CRF. He is now 15 years old, which is amazing since six years ago we were given 12-24 months. Chloe is starting show her age as well. She is not in dire straights but she has lost a bit of weight.

  2. We are glad to see you posted. It is always good to see old friends. You may not know that the "dreaded" word verification is on your comments. It's very hard to read and many do not leave comments. Just an FYI in case you did not know.

  3. We too are glad to see your post. We understand the sadness from so many sicknesses and losses. It can become overwhelming. Dolce sounds like a good detector kitty to have around.

    We will try to leave this comment but you do have the illegible and evil word verification on, as Abby said.
