Wish me luck

I hope the money will stretch enough to give Cole the care he needs. Sounds like you are doing everything you can... and more.

Best of luck!

Good luck, prayers on the way. Could you become an Uber or Lyft driver? Or help another elderly person with grocery shopping and light work?

We don't have Uber or Lyft in my town yet, and the former is in Calgary but didn't happen without a fight at City Hall.

I will find something. Will get my shingle out for pet sitting.

There are caregiver postings in the newspaper every so often. I'll keep my eyes peeled there.

A friend of mine in the walking group - who has a wonderful cat - said if their cat had blocked he would have been put down. I won't do that.

Best of luck to you, Candace!
I hope that something will come your way that will fit your schedule. Your kitties are so lucky to have a mom like you.

I'm sending lots of positive thoughts to you and Cole. Best of luck!

There are some really good people in the world.

I got to Western Vet with Cole, checked in with the desk, and sat down to wait. As usual, Catherine (onc tech) came out to greet me and asked how I was. I didn't mean to, but the tears started.

Long story short - Cole got some of his meds from their "Robin Hood" stash. These are meds from pet patients who have died or who don't need the meds any more. There was some Palladia there!

Dr Mauldin agreed to stretch Cole's rechecks to every 6 weeks instead of monthly.

And Catherine got the desk people to do a promissory note. The payment - under $400 - was split in half. I pay the first half when my cheque comes in next week and the second half when my cheque comes in at the end of October.

This all makes this very do-able.

What a relief!

Now to get a bit more income. Have posted on a local FB page about cat sitting and will post the same on Varage Sale.

Thank you all.

That's great, Candace! As you said, there are indeed some really good people out there.

Good idea to put your name out for cat-sitting. I do cat-sitting myself and was going to suggest that. I bet you'd be really good at it.

Best wishes, and please keep us posted!
