Gigi đâđ«Waiting for the vet's office to call me and let me know that my fuzzy buddy came through the surgery fine.
My buddy and I have been spending more time at the vet than either of us would like. And it's not over yet.
But he has lived twice as long as I was told he was going to when I took him in at 7 for eating the ridiculous amount of string that clogged his intestines.
He is my beloved expensive pussycat.
It is good to be grateful for the good things like fresh bread and the vet calling you to tell you his biopsy wasn't cancerous.
I have been stress-baking ALL the bread lately.
My beloved putty tat now has a cold, but he has a nice warm spot in the comfiest chair with 2 of my coats.
My little buddy is home from the vet in a state I can only describe as "drunk and hungry."
He wasn't allowed to eat since 10 last night and he is just coming out from the sedation and it is quite the combo.
He reminds me of babysitting some friends in my twenties.
Maybe I should get him some hardboiled eggs and chili.
I don't know what I was expecting with the guarantee of "a mouse in every can," but he seems to like it.
He's struggling a bit, and I need him to eat every calorie I can get in him.

How much work do you think I'm getting done right now?
I celebrated Dress Your Pet Up Day with a simple red bow.
He's old and really seems to hate it these days. Also he sleeps a lot.
I don't mind being held hostage as a cat bed when I can still do work, but I have dropped my tablet now and thus the feet in my face are going to have to move.
I am not ready to say goodbye to this precious face yet.
And I don't think he is ready to say goodbye yet either. He hadn't eaten food on his own since Thursday. I have been force feeding him, which, as you can imagine, has made him less than thrilled with me.
But he just went and ate a couple of mouthfuls of the softest duck and climbed into the hammock with me. I hope that means he's turning a corner.
He's lost so much weight in just a couple of days because I cannot cram enough calories into him.
My heart.
