Update on Puddy; she's gone*9/29* see post #421

[mamaducky]

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!)

As I mentioned previously, she acts as though she wants to drink out of the tub faucet but, obviously, I can't arrange that. It can't drip like the faucet can. I had just finished my bath tonight and she jumped into the tub while it was still draining. I'm sorry but I had to laugh. She was so shocked! She kept running in place, trying to get out and jump onto the toilet, so I picked her up and placed her there. She bellowed for a good 5 minutes afterwards, as though she was insisting that I turn that bath faucet on but no deal. Here are a couple of pix of her sitting on the tub. See what I mean about her tongue hanging out most of the time? I know some of you think it's cute but it unnerves me. Oh, she's back on the tub now, crying. Look at her wet tail in the first and second pix. LOL
