***The perennial DesertRose has 5000 posts!*** |
|
My Arizona 'Mom' is one of the many reasons DU matters. Wise, funnier than all get-out, and possessing a heart bigger than the open vistas of her namesake, she brings warmth, humor, wisdom, and insight to the things close to our hearts.
I am grateful to her for a great many things (and she knows above all of whom I speak), and so I dedicate a great big CONGRATULATIONS to DesertRose!!!

surprisingly, perhaps, most of my friends and family believe I should be a comic. I'm quite funny. I'm also a skeptic. We're not all dour-faced nay-sayers.

19. yes I find many of your posts quite amusing... |
|
...hey...just funnin' wit ya!! :evilgrin:
I think humor is very healthy. People thought I was a little crazy cause I was laughing & making jokes at my dad's funeral...but hell, he woulda been the first to make the same smart ass comments I did. That man had an odd sense of humor...guess it runs in the family....
:thumbsup: we all need a good laugh in this crazy world, right??

16. I'm so sorry about Isis.. |
|
I lost my little princess Susie Girl a few years ago to kidney disease. Meds helped for a while, but eventually her kidneys gave out. She was only 10 years old and so dainty. She weighed only 7 pounds compared to Ryno at 12, Wrigley at 17, and Sam at 25+.
She was such a cuddler....
What is Isis' current condition?

18. She's hanging tough.... |
|
She's 8 yrs old and weighed about 7lbs10oz about 3 weeks ago....not eating much of anything...drinking minimal water...throwing up ( twice this week so far).
Vet said her creatinine & BUN were way high...was in the kitty hospotal for 2+ days on IV and the levels went up instead of down....sleeps a lot...tomorrow when she gets in fused I may ask about the puking meds .....We put her on Hill k/d diet....but she eats only a few bites all day.
She also has hypothyroid that kills her appetite and I think now her teeeth are bad.....poor girl.. She is a good sweet girl. We have her "kitten", Yoda who is now 7 and a big ol' blonde blob ( afriad to weigh him- he gets a check up soon as I can afford it)...but very loveable....
......sigh.... DR

20. Unfortunately, that sounds familiar. |
|
Love her all you can. Suz didn't get infused because she went so fast. My sister's cat Steve, who lived to be 20+, was though. She infused him many many times and he lived several years. He was a tough old guy, one of the great cats.
All the best to you and sweet little Isis.
