My little girl is such a trooper. Dr. Lee took blood and she didn't even flinch, no screeching, no spitting and swatting at him. He pressed on her chin and her tongue immediately came out so he said that he's thinking it might be her teeth. She has gingivitis. Until the blood work comes back tomorrow, he won't know whether or not he can put her under anesthesia to clean her teeth because she's only got one kidney and that one isn't doing too great. She's 14 now and he said that she keeps surviving one problem, only to develop another. He's amazed at how tough she is. If her blood work comes back ok and her enzymes aren't up too high, she'll get a teeth cleaning and, maybe extractions if she has any bad teeth, and he'll also check under her tongue for ulcers, etc. I refuse to worry about this. I'm going to write the perfect outcome on a piece of paper and put it in my Blessing Jar for God to take care of. I just cannot handle any more stress right now.

Pigeon has an appt. tomorrow for blood work and immunizations. Dr. Lee wants to make sure that she's healthy enough to put under anesthesia to shave her because her mats are so bad and so close to her skin on the top of her back. If she would only let me groom her but she won't. She gets so stressed. She's 18 now and he gets concerned about putting a cat that age under. She had her teeth cleaned not too long ago and came through just fine but he said he doesn't want to take any chances w/her. So into the Blessings Jar this one goes, too.

So that's it for now. When I get the results of Puddy's blood work tomorrow, I'll post the outcome. In the meantime, say a Puddy prayer, please? And a Pidgie prayer, too?
