Miss Tucker - Still Hanging in There

[catlover4ever]

Well, Miss Tucker, my old lady, is still hanging in with us. She is approximately 22 years old. While I have seen a big decline in her health this last year she still never ceases to amaze us each day.

For the most part she spends her time sleeping. All curled up in the tinest ball that she can make herself into.....

Other times she keeps the heat registers from running away....

and other times, like just this morning, she got a burst of energy and ran up and down the stairs three times....and then proceeded to curl up in a ball and retire for the rest of the day.

Here are some misc. pictures of her....hope you enjoy.

Tucker is so cute! I wonder where she got that burst of energy! Hang in there Tucker.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I've been thinking of you, Tucker, and hoping you're withstanding all those East Coast storms in a nice warm comfy place, and I see you are! Nothing better than holding a heat vent in place when it's cold and nasty outside. :D

Meg, it's SO good to see that Tucker is still doing well. I know you mention that you can see a decline in her, but it's good to know that she's still got a lot of spunk left too. :)

Keep on keepin' on Mz Tucker! :D
