THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your very kind words of comfort and encouragement!!!
I came home from the clinic, and found Barry's report of how breakfast went this morning. Apparently, Ralph did well. So that is good. O, yes, he is being spoiled!!! I have all sorts of concotions ready for him to eat. He also gets first dibs at the sliders so he can have the best place in the sun and catch the breeze.
Our laps are ready and will to have Ralph on them at ALL times!!! Sometimes he is content to just sit beside Barry and me, and allow lap time for a few of the other cats. I am learning alot from the cats. Ralph has been the TOP cat in the house for YEARS!!! I think the others know he is getting weak, but not one of them has challenged Ralph's status. Even Riley, who has " respect " problems, is not bothering Ralph.
I am so sorry to hear about Peanut!!! You will do the RIGHT thing!!! I sat down and was ready to break into the vacation monies that I have put aside for a trip in the fall to use it to treat Ralph. Then I found out what was entailed. I just could not do that to Ralph(and I would not want that done to me if my time was limited).
Ralph has ANOTHER Grainger box!!! I swiped the box when leaving work a few weeks ago!!! The guys from the maintaince dept. at the hospital asked why I wanted the box, so I told them. There is a photo of Ralph in HIS Grainger box hanging in their office!
I better end here. Ralph has just draped his entire body over my left arm.
He purrs his gratitude to you all!!!! Sandra & Ralphie
