Max

Dear Lord, I love Pet Talk.
Thank you so much for your love, prayers and candles. I've read each one of your heartfelt messages - LES....

Max is going in to see Dr. Singh on Saturday Dec 5th. Dr. Singh now only works on Friday mornings and Saturdays and Max is not that urgent now. There are other vets employed by Dr. Singh that I could see but I feel comfortable waiting to see him - I've been with Dr. Singh since 1997 and I love him. If, of course, Max starts an even steeper decline rapidy I won't hesitate to take him in to all night vet clinic close to my home.

Might reduce the amount of time you spend on Hide 'n Seek looking for 'lumps' in strange places.

This made me laugh out loud.

Phred: I've been thinking about baby gates, especially for the kitchen. Unfortunately my apartment is an "open floor plan" so there are no hallways to block off. The second bedroom has the litterboxes (2) and I could just close the door to my bedroom to keep him out of there. The living room/dining room areas are one big room and keeping him out of there is not an option as there are no walls, if you get my drift - hard to 'splain.

I'm leaving work shortly and Lord only knows what I'll find. I can put up with the presents left for me but I've had to 'splain all this to my housecleaner and that is rather embarrassing. Thankfully, she's understanding and loves Max too.

MOFF: I think I'm ready to read the book you sent me.

Hugs to you and Max. I hope that you're able to get more quality time with your dear one.

I came home tonight to find 3 different puke spots. Poor boy puked up undigested dry food - 2 in my bedroom and 1 in the kitchen. Still....when I came through the door he cried and cried for his wet food and I was happy to oblige. Surprise - didn't find any "lumps" but he also has not used either litterbox all day and evening. I went looking/feeling for pee spots all over but couldn't find any. Hope I'm not missing anything.

Ramping up the prayers from here for you both.

I hope the book will bring you comfort when the time comes.

No need to be embarrassed by Max's boo boos any more than you would if he was a dear older relative living with you.

If he puked up undigested dry food, then I suspect that there was nothing to make 'lumps' with in his dear little body.

The wet food will help with that and will rehydrate him a bit.

Hugs to you and to Max.

I have no excuses, just haven't been here very much, Slick, and had no idea what you were dealing with. Please know that you and Max are in my prayers. I will try to keep in better touch.
Love,
Logan, Butter, Henry, Bo and the dawgs

Thanks Logan, Catty and MOFF. My concern continues. Max has taken up residence behind my bed. How he gets in there is beyond me because there is only about a 6" gap on either side of the bed for him to crawl in. Speckles used to get in there in her later years so I blocked it off with cardboard. Looks like I'll have to do it again. My poor boy only ate about 1/2 of what he normally does. He's behind the bed now even though I tried to entice him out with treats.
