| "The Disapproving Fifers - Ewwww!" |
Good evening, Everybun!
My hoomin reported that Spring is here. Trees are covered with fresh, bright leaves. I'm unsure what to make of it - yesterday we had Winter. Should we brace for Summer by Tuesday?
For now, we're drifting along with time and trying not to do too much. We had our room cleaned, and the hoomin fizzled out. But, for the first time in a while, he saw no traces of sludge on our pee pads.
The hoomin is terrificly nervous about Charlie's checkup next Saturday. It will be a month since Charlie started taking her meds, and we're sweating bullets. We'll keep you posted, of course.
Tonight, we'll do a little more art. The Tampa Bay Bunfest is fast approaching, and having two paintings to finish feels like a life-saving bunsend. The piece above is close to being finished. It still needs cleanup, but all the major parts are in place.
Goodnight and good luck!
- Gus

Hellos, Everybun!
Charlie and I are eating, pooping, and peeing. And the rest? Well, I can't transcribe sobs, moans, and other assorted incoherences.
Strangely enough, we're having another blast of winter. It's been quite chilly and windy the past couple of days.
There's no agenda to speak of for today or this weekend. Loafing, arting, that's about all. Inertia is landing those paws one in front of the other.
To paraphrase the late Richard McSpadden, "Maintain your airspeed and keep the path ahead clear." So, that's what we're doing.
We'll keep you posted.

Good evening, Everybun.
With a heavy heart, we would like to share that Espresso crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday, the nineteenth of February, the twenty-fifth, at about thirty-five minutes past noon.
He developed symptoms of GI stasis Tuesday night. Recovery protocol brought no relief, and on Thumpday morning, my hoomin darted off with Spressy to the BluePearl emergency hospital.
The initial assessment didn't reveal any dier concerns. His bloodwork showed two elevated liver functions. The treatment plan was to put Spressy on IV fluids, keep him hospitalized, and redo bloodwork the following morning.
It was during the prep for the fluids that he arrested. The team started performing CPR on the poor guy; the doctor called my hoomin. The CPR went on and on; Spressy was in no mood to come back. The hoomins stopped the CPR, and my hoomin could still hear the doctor's voice on the other end of the line calling "stop" to the team.
You probably sense the rest. My hoomin is wandering through the void, getting knocked down by the squalls of grief, seeing Spress in all the spots he loved to run through, loaf, and explore.
We said our goodbyes, and Gussy and I groomed him one last time. We had a little wake feast of cookies.
In the next few days, we'll reach out to Dr. Gronsky at BP to go over any "lessons learned" from all this. As always, we'll share.
Goodnight and good luck.

PS: Fifi ended up at the rescue because her hoomin could no longer care for her. She is about eight years young, very friendly, and curious. And she's all lion bunnitude!

PS: Alice is pure velvet. She's slowly heading for that elder bun territory but is as curious as ever. And she's super friendly. Her hoomin went into hospice care.
