Day 3 and she still won't eat. I gave her an appetite stimulant but I fear that my green eyed lady is on her way out. She isn't in any pain and she doesn't appear to be in any distress. I think she's just plain had it. I'm hoping that she can make it through Christmas, not for any sentimental reasons, though. This is a depressing time of year for me. My mother died during the holidays, my sister Elaine died on Christmas eve and my husband of nearly 25 years surprised me w/divorce papers during the holidays, so I get through as best I can, try to stay as cheerful as possible. I'll have a house full of guests on Christmas eve and I just don't want Pidge's illness and/or possible passing to be everyone's Christmas memory.

Please spare a prayer for my sweetie pie Pidgelet, that if she does decide to go that it'll be peaceful and painless. I want her to stay but if she needs to go, I'm at peace w/it. Sad but at peace.
