It can happen with old cats. I'm sure her stubbornness of not drinking from water bowls and insisting on drinking from the sink didn't help any either. :/
Poor animals. They can't talk like us I can't imagine what it must be like for them and we can not understand them. Just have to go on their habits of how they act.
The vet has given me everything that's needed. She's hit end stage renal failure, so it's "this is all we can do, just keep going with it."
She has to be on a special diet because the diet needs to be low phosphorus. She wasn't eating that, so I made up regular food with her meds in it and she nibbled on that a bit.
And I didn't say she wasn't drinking water. I'm saying that's how she was with her water her whole life. Always from the tap, never from the bowl. If she couldn't get it from the tap, she just wouldn't drink at all. I'm sure that this didn't help the development of kidney failure, especially if it was hereditary.
She's drinking okay now. Not the best, but she's still drinking water when we take her to the sink. She's also on sub q fluids so that helps with the hydration issues.

Seriously. It's what makes this situation a pain in the ass. I know her all too well. I can tell she feels meh, she still wants to try to do her thing in her usual stubborn manner, but her body is just crapping out on her. It's what makes it so sad that I have to make a decision soon if this keeps up. Her personality is still there, her mind is still sharp, but her body just doesn't want to keep up.
My poor bub. This whole thing sucks. She's such a good girl and it's so not fair that this had to happen to her. π’

It is not, but unfortunately I think this is how most cats go through some kind of illness that is torture. Especially when they get old. π’ Putting them down is not fun at all.
Nope. And I know it happens with them. What makes all of this so hard is seeing that she still wants to do her thing and hasn't given up. If she was giving me the "I give up" vibe, I'd so be less conflicted about making a decision.
How was the weekend, CL?

How was the weekend, CL?
It was OK! Had a bit of a down day Sunday, but all is good now.
Mr. D!! Feel like it has been a minute since I have spoken to you or seen you around. How is the gig going? Still well I hope.

Talk to me π What are you doing. Did your friend arrive?
Posted by Libra911
Friend is jet lagged and snoring already, what are we talking about tonight? huh? πHow was surfing? Any good waves?
Haha excellent. I actually knew you were going to ask so I took pictures. One sec and I'll post them π
So it was beautiful on the way out there. Sun was shining down hard. Not a cloud in the sky. Air had that certain warmth that you just knew meant you would get some decent color in.
So I'm hoping for a day similar to this...
Also praying that if the water even remotely looked like this, I'd have some fun...
Sadly...
This is what I ended up with today
Soo disappointed hahah. I ended up playing in the water for about 20, the overcast finally left and I laid out for about an hour π
I can't complain too much I guess
Posted by Libra911
lol, awww that looks kinda sad compared to other two lol
Was it crowded? Today was soo hot, and its going to be for the next few days, I love it though! π
Hahah I know, right?
It wasn't terribly crowded. Higher concentration of the family types but still plenty of room.
Your friend have anything in mind he / she wants to see while they're here? You're going to have a frigging blast π
Hahah I just caught up on the spanking thread
"I remember once my mother chased me around the house with a spatula LOL. I got some beating on the butt, "
HAHAHAHAHAHA the image of you fleeing from mom wielding a spatula is HILARIOUS!
VEGAS AGAIN! Excellent π
If its your friends first time here, absolutely!
Ah so the fun tour. Excellent. I have some buddies out in Temecula so the wine tasting is always fun.
Okay as for Catalina, you know the best I've been able to get out of Catalina was going there who whomever I was dating because she wanted to go shopping there. Thus I ended up left meandering a little, while holding her shopping bags and while hoping we run into a good place to grab a bite and drink.
I've always though you could do all that in Laguna or Newport and more without having to take the damn ferry back and forth to Catalina. So it's not bad once in a long while.
Your friend will probably enjoy it and you'll get some shopping done π
Posted by SirenSting
I always enjoy Catalina π but it could be I'm a woman... Sounds like you have a great while ahead of you, 911 π
Siren, did you see what happened to your body today?

And made it all the way out here for a visited and I missed it? How sad am I right now π
*Laugh* Jesus, what a typo.... (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA the confusion on my face when I read your reply HAHAHAHHAA)
I'm going to hell for laughing at this one:

For those who are interested in online dating, I saw this while browsinghttp://www.groupon.com/deals/match-com-1
that looks like a good deal
Not that this is a comprehensive study but out of my fiends that tried online dating, most of the "horror" stories came from Match while the "I FOUND SOMEONE" stories mostly came from E-Harmony.
Thinking about giving it a go? π
Anybody home? π
GOOOOOOOOD MORNING LEEBS AND NON LEEBS!!!!!! How is everyone doing today?
Posted by Grey
where do most of you go to meet people you might be interested in marrying or dating out of curiosity?also random question.....
do you eat fruits and vegatbels in season? do you also reduce eating fruits in the fall and winter or not eat at all. i can understand eating fruits by season but i am not sure about vegetables. i eat vegetables all year round without really worrying about anything or wondering about the health consequences etc.
I am very bad with eating fruits and veggies. I am working on increasing though because my health is important to me. However, I have made the excuse of being too busy and working a lot. Things must change. Usually I am all about bananas. I love strawberries(better in season, but I eat them whenever), apples, kiwi(my favorite), grapes, kale, brocolli, spinach, salads. I know I need to eat more colorful veggies though with their antioxidant properties. I like most fruits and veggies I just don't buy them most often.
Oh and about where I go to meet people I want to date or marry. Well I do not go anywhere. LOL I meet people where I end up going and I may take your number if there is an initial interest. However, a lot of men get disqualified or disqualify me due to whatever. I don't put out easy. I am a bit old school. I rather you call me than text me. I rather you as the man ask me out for the first date. Once we go out if the conversation is good we are on a good path. If you make me laugh we are on a great path. If you keep my interest we are on an awesome path, but it usually goes sour if they are not trying to be my friend instead of wanting to jump in my pants. π
Most people I have dated was through the work place, knowing them in the neighborhood, or through a friend. I have met people in clubs which has NEVER turned fruitful.
Hey Feby!!
Doing well thanks! And yourself?

Voice > Text.
+1 for you Cl1 π
Voice > Text. Hell yeah VH!! Although I do text often. When first meeting voice goes over text. I don't tell them because I feel like you should know. So I entertain them, but eventually it dies if the call never happens.
Day just ended. Had a bunch hen's party at work today... fuck me dead.
where do most of you go to meet people you might be interested in marrying or dating out of curiosity?
Generally anywhere and everywhere I end up going π
Hope this week has been cool for you all! If not I sends you all spirit hugs.
Also I don't think I'm eager to marry any time soon tbh. In fact I seldom think of marriage, if at all. I think meeting people is the easy part, finding a keeper is the hard part.
*shifties*
Anyhow don't think I'm making much sense, eye lids are like pulling on themselves! TIRED! β all

They make some AMAZING stuff in 20 minutes.
One of the hardest parts for the cooks is that its not THEIR kitchen. Part of one's zen with cooking is the intimacy with one's kitchen.

Warm, comforting, it gentle soothes the throat and ones soul, harking of days past. Have a digestive or two, dipped, absorbed, soaked, fresh fruits to accompany, simple pleasures π
