This one goes out to Mr. Nice Dairy Man

First and foremost, my heart breaks for my dear, sweet friend Kenneth and Romeo. I got a letter this weekend from my "Mr. Nice Dairy Man" and I was in tears reading it. His kitty Romeo (older than Buttercup) had been sick. He had stopped eating and had lost a lot of weight, which is saying something because Romeo was a very big, fluffy, gorgeous kitty. I have the perfect pic to post, but I have to find it and scan it. Anywho, after some back and forth to the vet, and even extracting some teeth, nothing seemed to be helping Romeo, and I can only imagine the heartache Kenneth was dealing with watching him decline so horribly. He was faced with making the hard decision that all pet owners dread, and realized that Romeo was suffering and euthanizing him was really the kindest thing he could do for him. Reading what he did afterwards made me cry even more, and just strengthened the bond I feel with him, as if there was ever any doubt about how truly sweet and thoughtful he is. I won't share it all with you, but I'll say this...there are very few honestly sweet and thoughtful people in the world, and I feel blessed to have the few I know in my life!

I spoke with the vet today about the results of Buttercup's blood work. He said her white blood cell count was still very elevated, but that it had dropped significantly (from 27,000 to 19,000 I believe is what he said). She seems to be doing ok on the Baytril once a day, and she really seems to love the new food he suggested. That makes me happy, but the fact that she's been able to keep it down, makes me even happier!

We took the boys fishing yesterday, mainly just to get out of the house and enjoy the nice day. Although Deacon did manage to catch a small catfish. I took a few pics, but I'm too lazy to post them now, I'll post them later. I know, I'm such a slacker...I got some wonderful presents from one of my dear, sweet friends in Oz...so I could enjoy in the Australia Day celebrations too, but I have yet to take some decent pics of me modeling my new goodies and post them. I promise that's on my "to do" list too! On a side note...I finally tried the Love Potions Sticky Vanilla Toffee Tim Tams...OMG!!! Yummy doesn't even come close to describe the deliciousness of these little bites of joy disguised as cookies!!! LOL In case there was ever any doubt...I LOVE Tim Tams!!!

Anywho, I guess that's all for now, more later. Please stay safe everyone...you mean the world to me! Until later...love and hugs!!
