Tia has a tumour... (Sad Update)

[Miss Z]

Sorry I've been away for a bit and haven't updated sooner. With school starting and such, I've been quite busy lately.

Well, she's still with us, pretty decrepit I must say, but she's thriving. Her appetite has diminished somewhat although she doesn't say no to the odd slice of corned beef or hard-boiled egg, and still takes all her medicine brilliantly. We've started to give her baths to get the pee off her fur when she has accidents instead of the baby wipes now, it means that she doesn't need cleaning up so often and makes her feel a lot more comfortable too.

It feels quite odd talking about her now for some reason, whether it's because I know I've already said everything I want to say about her condition in previous posts, or that I'm simply hanging onto each day whilst she's still here and don't want to dampen them, I don't know. All I do know is that the day she departs could be now, could be next week, could be anytime. She has done amazing so far, we really thought we'd have lost her a few weeks ago, and she's battled on up till now. For such a little body and such a tiny heart, she is working overtime to stay put.

I love her to bits and still dread the day that's looming, but I think now I've realised that when it's really time, then it's her body's reward of rest for its efforts.

Zara,

Hang in there, honey. I know how precious Tia is to you. You're doing the best you can for her right now. Make her comfortable and love her.

My heart and prayers go out to you. Winkie sends Tia all his love too.

(((((((HUGS))))))

P.S. Thanks for the hard-boiled egg idea. I never knew how much Winkie liked them till you mentioned it. He also loves pitted dates.

Thanks for the update.
Its nice to hear Miss Tia Maria is still hanging in there, she definately is a fighter.

Give that girl a kiss from me & my gang, will you? We're all hoping that her strength stays as long as comfortably possible.

Still sending good vibes.
