LES but happy tears. I'm visualizing this whole scenerio and have a big smile on my face. Nice jammies, by the way.

I live alone too and yes it's hard sometimes. With the small troubles I've had with Max lately, I've only shared it with one friend who is an extreme animal lover and understands just as much as PTers.

Sweet, sweet Puddy! I sure wish I could meet you. This is a good sign and I hope this means you are on the upswing.

{{{hugs}}} Mary. You are stronger than I'll ever be.

Good for Puddy!!! I check every day for any posts about her, and when I don't see any, I start to get concerned. (You'd think she was mine!) Fingers, toes, and poochie paws still crossed in hopes that she continues on a positive path. I think of both of you often!!!!

Mary, you're right -- we absolutely DO care that Puddy ate chicken!

I've been so stressed-out and overwhelmed by other stuff (long story) that I scarcely have time to lurk around, much less post on PT, but whenever I have a minute, I always pop over here and check on Miss Pudwah. I know it feels as though it's one step forward, three steps back sometimes, but there really have been a number of pretty encouraging moments scattered in there recently, and I'm going to keep praying that those good moments become the rule rather than the exception!

Meanwhile, please don't forget to take care of yourself. I worry about what effect this situation is having on your health -- which I know hasn't been top-notch recently anyway. I know that's easy to say and hard to do, but do try to get some rest and make some time to do something that's relaxing and enjoyable.

Much love,
Diana

Ok, just a few minutes ago she decided that she now wants water out of the tub faucet. Lovely. She was in the tub meowing, so I thought "Uh oh, she thinks the tub is her litterbox now" but she she had her mouth up to the faucet. I cannot let water drip out of the tub; that isn't easy and besides, I don't think I can make it just drip and a steady stream of water out of that faucet would spell trouble. So I lifted her out of the tub and put her on the sink countertop and she drank the water there. (To think that drinking out of the bathroom sink faucet is now normal! LOL) What concerns me, though, is how weak her meow is. She sounds like a little kitten. She's going to get her Epogen injection in a few minutes, so I'm sure she's going to be mad at me again but it has to be done.

I am so glad to see that Miss Puddy are some chicken! That is wonderful!

How did the shot go?

I know that having her in bed with you and watching her enjoy that sandwich was so comforting. I can see your smile and hear your loving words to her as I type this!

Um, Mary - you might want to amend your update line...it sounds like Puddy ate ALL of your sandwich! (well, the chicken part, anyway!)
