This morning was much better. Dusty's pain pills kicked in, the temp/humidity was lower, and her Lasix did it's job. When I went in her room she was up on the cat condo looking out the window. I haven't seen her up there in a long time. She jumped right down and meowed hello when I came in, and ate her breakfast with more enthusiasm than I've seen in a while, although she doesn't eat much, she eats frequently. You should see her crunchy food bowl. It's a mish-mesh of stuff, 3 kinds of treats and 3 kinds of cat food, whatever my baby wants.
I'm getting our stuff together to go to the campground tonight. Whatever Dusty wants we can do whether it's riding on the golf cart, taking a short walk around the site, or just sitting under the awning enjoying a peaceful evening.
I already set up the appointment for Thurs. July 5 at 4:20 to have her PTS. Even if she's doing better I've made the decision that I'd rather remember her last days with her feeling good, rather than wait until she has another night like Wed. night or worse. I'm already in tears just typing this. If I even think about her being gone, or hear a sad song I start crying and she's not even gone yet.
I've been taking alot of pix and video of her the last couple days.
A friend of mine has an album that has a song that not only brings me to tears, but is just so appropriate. I thought I'd share the lyrics with you. He is an irish folk song singer, and his music is very traditional celtic folk music. She picked up his album when he was a street singer in Florida a few years ago.
I have to listen to it to type out the lyrics, so I'm gonna be crying through this whole thing, hope I don't drown your computers.
Album: Raised On Songs And Stories
Song: DON'T CRY FOR ME
Artist: IAN MILLER
Just take me out to the sea
Let me go with the breeze I'm free
I'll sail in the Heavens
hand in hand with my love
And you will know in your heart
Where I'll be It's all a part of life
So don't cry for me
Watch me sail off through the clouds
Feel my heart, hear it sing out loud
Watch me dance, I can dance on the silver linings
Watch me fly and hear me sing
All the peace, the joy, the love will bring
It's my time, so don't cry for me
Don't look behind
I'll be sailing around the universe
And the stars they'll be watching over you
And I know that you'll be fine
You and yours can have peace of mind
It's my time, so don't cry for me
I've lived a life that's full
The ups and downs
And still somehow my heart wants to sing out every morning
So now my days are done
I'll just sail out into the sun
It's my time Don't cry for me
Don't look behind
I'll be sailing around the universe
And the stars they'll be watching over you
And I know You'll be fine
You and yours can have peace of mind
It's my time, so don't cry for me
