But first Tigger news, she is slowly getting better, this morning she was more herself than the past two weeks. She is going regular and acting more like the boss. We gave the vet one last trip (the one I wrote about in the last blog) and that was the most traumatic one of all but hubby and I both agreed that it was the last one as the only next choice would be surgery and honestly neither of us want to put an old cat through that. How do you explain to them why they wake up in pain and with all the things that happen during surgery and that it might be okay or maybe not. No, we take care, yup, we bought the prescription food that is pretty expensive but is helping and took away the dry food but that is it. If she goes downhill we will make that end of life call and have the vet service that comes to one's home do so. So far she is doing okay.
Hubby came down with an autumn cold so he stayed home most of the week and rested which helped a lot and he was feeling better as the week went on. Me? I did the usual and of course back to books I have been reading.
The last book in the 16 book series of ordinary women in the bible was called Daughter of Light and a good read.
It began a bit slower than some of the other books but this series is written by all different authors which it really helpful if one is looking for new authors in this kind of books, biblical fiction which has become my most favourite kind of books to read.
And so a very quiet week this week but a much needed quiet week especially for our Tigger.
So glad you are having a bit of a twilight season with Tigger! I had a couple of weeks of that with my Rubia, who has been gone 3 years now.
ReplyDeleteHope Robert recovers well and fully from his cold. No fun! Enjoy your continued reading, it's been interesting to see what women get featured in these books!
Our couple of weeks is over sadly. Tigger's symptoms have come back and she is hiding how much pain she is in and so in a few moments I will be calling the vet for the end of life choice :( Robert is getting better but Tigger's set back has really hit him hard. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteHappy early birthday! October really is the best month of the year, especially with Pumpkinfest and Thanksgiving all stacked together. I totally get why you love this time, though it sounds like you've had a lot on your plate lately between taking care of Tigger and looking after your husband.
ReplyDeleteI'm so relieved to hear Tigger is feeling more like her bossy self again. That photo of her cuddling her little beaver toy absolutely melts my heart. You guys made the right call about skipping the surgery, too. It’s so hard to make those tough decisions for our pets, but keeping her comfortable at home with her favorite food is such a loving choice, and seeing her act like herself again must be such a relief.
I hope your husband is completely over that cold now so you both can actually enjoy the quiet week you had. Ending that 16-book series sounds like a huge milestone, too! Finding a genre you genuinely love is the best feeling. Get some rest, enjoy the fall weather, and have a wonderful start to your birthday month!(((BIG HUGS)))
We were really hopeful but the two weeks we had was just our grace period and it is time to say good-bye to our lovely girl. Robert has made me promise no more pets as his heart cannot take the good-byes. It was an easy promise as my heart can't either. It was a great book series and gave me a lot of authors to check out. Huge hugs and thanks for stopping by.
