Phew!

I am so glad to hear that she's doing much better. I would keep her home, also. I wouldn't want to risk not getting her back and since she's doing so well there, I wouldn't risk changing her routine. When you're not so busy, we'd love more pics.

It really is starting to sound as if "our" little girl is showing positive signs of recovery even though it may take some time yet. Bless you for all you have done for her, most definitely an act of love. Just one look at her picture and it's easy to see why. I've been in love with her since first seeing her picture. Anyway, it's so good to know that you have someone to care for her that you can trust especially with the ongoing care Annie needs right now. As for Friday, would it be possible for your friend to care for Annie then your husband pick her up when he's done at work? I'm just wondering if Annie should be left on her own just yet even if it's only for a few hours. Only the very best care for sweet little Annie, but there's no doubt that's exactly what she's getting from you. As for Friday, I'm sure you'll make the decision that's best for her. Hey there,sweet little Annie...It's good to know that you're feeling better today. I'll make a deal with you, okay? You keep up the fight and I'll keep praying for you to get better and also for those kind, caring, loving human angels who are working so hard to get you through. Deal?

I've got a few more Polaroid pictures here, taken just a little while ago. She's wanting to get out and go exploring some tonight. We're being careful not to let her get near anything that Shadow will be near (which is NOT easy!) and we're washing our hands and keeping clothes, towels and blankets, etc., all separate if she has been on them:


Here she showing off her beautiful fur coat while posing on her new little pink blanket, next to Pawpie's hand. (I wanted to have something that you could see her size in comparison with, and Pawpie's hand worked just perfect!)


Here she is trying to escape from her little carrier, running into her little prayer lamb in the process. She was actually trying to nurse on this little lamb earlier, and "making biscuits" with her little front paws!


Does this look like a proud new Pawpie or what!


And here she is in her carrier with her little prayer lamb and CareBear again. She saw the open gate, and was bound and determined she was going to get out and go exploring!


I feel like we're "over the hump" as far as her illness, but I don't want to get too optomistic yet. She is still sneezing, and still hasn't pooped since Saturday. But she's eating better, and breathing better, and becoming more active. Those are all very positive signs, right?!?

I've got a few more pictures to upload to ImageSation and then post, but want to go ahead and get these done now while they're still "fresh".

Thanks again for all your prayers, support, encouragement, advice, suggestions, etc. I really feel like "OUR" Li'l Orphan Annie is recovering because of all of your prayers. Please keep them coming for awhile longer yet, until we're 100% certain she's going to be OK...... They can't hurt, and they sure seem to be helping!

I just finished reading all the posts and I am so pleased to read that Little Annie is doing better and especially that she finally had a poop.

Bless you and your hubby for helping this precious little baby.
Prayers on the way that she continues to thrive in your care.

My husband and I discussed our options for Friday again, and since we DO have someone else available to baby-sit Annie that day, he is going to go ahead and work the full day. It is not a good time of year for him to be taking off work, but he was willing to do it for Annie.

My friend who will be taking care of Annie on Friday will do a wonderful job, and I know I can trust her as far as giving Annie back to us, too. I told my husband that she sounded like she would be more than willing to adopt Annie if given the chance, and my husband shook his head "no". He DEFINITELY wants to keep her! I am SO excited!!!!!

Here are a two more pictures, both from my Polaroid camera so not the best, but they're better than nothing......





I should be able to pick up the pictures from the 35 mm film tomorrow, so I should be able to post some more pictures of both
Annie and Shadow tomorrow.

Be sure to check out Shadow's diary thread if you haven't already. There are a few more pictures of him in today's entry. Here is a link (I hope!):

He might help Annie get a diary of her own started one of these days, when Annie is all better!

Sweet little Annie must be feeling better she is getting a bit rambunctious and that's great. Continued get well wishes and prayers and kitty angel Mytsi is staying right with her until she is all better. Keep up the good work all of you, you and pawpie and Annie too.

[rg_girlca]

I'm glad that you got Friday worked out and that little Annie will not be alone.

She is such a widdle cutie pie.
Prayers still on the way that she gets all better real soon.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that her health is improving and I sure hope that she makes a full recovery very soon. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Annie sure is a precious little girl.

[lady_zana]

As I've said many times before on PT, I hold a special place in my heart for those sassy calico girls. Give Annie an extra big kiss on her head for me, please!

[furrykidsmother]

So glad to hear that she is improving! She is such a little doll. I think wanting explore is a very good sign.

[Cataholic]

Prayers still on the way for Annie! And, for you and your wonderful family! What love and dedication can do!!! Keep growing strong, little Annie!

I'm taking Annie to our Vet. today to get an official weight on her, and to have the Vet. check her over thoroughly. She still hasn't pooped since Saturday, and I THINK I saw a small amount of blood on the cotton ball I used to massage her rear with yesterday, a couple of times. I also want to find out what the Vet. has to say about her left eye.

I figured that, as far as we are concerned, she is already ours, and if the Humane Society doesn't like it that we are getting her treated at the Vet., that's THEIR problem. We're paying for it, and not asking them for any kind of reimbursement or anything. We're probably saving them the cost of having her PTS, since that's what they would have done to her if I'd taken her back there on Monday.

I hope everything goes OK at the Vet., and I'll post another note on here afterwards to give an update on the situation. Prayers that everything will be OK are requested!

Thanks for the pictures of little Annie, she is she a cutiepie. I would love to give her a cuddle. Good luck at the vets, I hope it goes well and she continues to improve.
