Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Hellos, Everybunny!

"Don't give up just yet. Try to stay positive. We have questions that need answers. Once we have those answers, we can decide on next steps," wrote Dr. Zellner.

Last week had been a rough year. Charlie's appointment took place on Tuesday. Call it the "fog of miscommunication." We went to the V. E. T.  on M*nd*y, but for some reason, the visit was marked as a "tech-doctor" appointment. The best we could do was come back the next day. We scurried back home. Charlie sure did not appreciate it.

On Tuesday, my hoomin's worst fears were confirmed. 

"Today we determined that Charlie is forming tones in her urinary bladder and her renal pelvis is becoming calcified." 

The X-ray was not a glitch. Now, we are doing 50 ml of sub-q fluids daily. We have another appointment set for Tuesday. We will do a follow-up X-ray and blood work. 

"If the kidney is shutting down, we need to discuss quality of life."

Charlie is a great trooper. We still enjoy snacks and head rubs. And have our art nights even when not much art is happening. If you didn't know about the calcification, you wouldn't know that something was off.

We'll keep you posted.

The Bunday Evening Thumps

"Wyatt and Wynnona - Epsilon Lyrae"

"Wyatt and Wynnona - Epsilon Lyrae" - a big sigh of relief, it works as black and white.

Good evening, Everybun!

Let us welcome the New Year of February! The cold is here. The wind is here. But the only snowflakes you see are the Floridians, bundled up, wobbling about like some Micheline creatures, hissing, and whining, emitting a quiet, high-pitched buzz of lamentations, like some kind of frozen swamp mosquitoes. 

Last night, my hoomin went for a walk in this, thumping bent on spotting a flurry, and got bupkis. Came back with a frozed off schnozzle, and spotted notin', zip, zilch!

We thawed him out and had ourselves a cookies-and-art extravaganza late into the night. He gave up, served us a plate of treats, and we took turns gobbling up whatever we liked. Charlie and I had a wonderful grooming jam session, and the silly biped just sat there spellbound, with his jaws on the floor. Creep!

And here's the rub: how do we concentrate on the best moments we have and keep them from falling into panic pits? How do we enjoy them, knowing - and not knowing - what lies ahead, when fear tries to steal it all, before M*nd*y ever gets here.

We're talking a very real M*nd*y. the one tomorrow, with a V.E.T. visit at half past two in the afternoon. ow. We're really asking.

When the sun goes down, we'll "go for two," with another plate of snacks, and more brush swinging.

Good luck and good night!
