One month.....

It's been one month since our Joey went to the Bridge, it doesn't seem possible that he's been gone that long. Mama's eyes still get leaky for him every day, but she is doing better. We all purr on her a little more than we used to & we think that might help a little.

Wordless Wednesday

Mama is famous.....sort of...

If you want to see Mama on TV go to wgem.com, on the right side of the page is the top videos. She's the big blonde gal in the blue shirt rocking sticky beans.



Mama was on TV tonight!! That makes her famous, right??

She was a substitute at the Teen Parent Services childcare today, that means she got to play with little blurps & sticky beans. Our local news did a story on teen pregnancy, so they were at the school taping the teen beans & their little beans. When the news beans came in the childcare room, they taped Mama rocking two little sticky beans. There was three different shots of her so we're pretty sure she must be at least a little famous. We were furry excited!

Wordless Wednesday

Easy like Sunday

Hi efurrybuddy, we want to let you know that we're doing OK. Mama still gets leaky eyes & she still misses Joey alot, but she's doing better. In that respect anyway. She's been kind of sicky the last few days. She says her head feels like there's a big drum pounding in it, she's had eye boogers, nose boogers....you name it.

We do want to thank efurryone for the condolence messages, it was nice to know that so many of our furiends were thinking of us. And we met some new furiends, too!
We also want to thank Charlemagne & Tamar & Mom Colleen for the donation & the beautiful card. And ML & the Sherwood Bunch for their donation & ML for helping Mama through a very dark time. She also had a gift made for Mama & we will post pictures later.
We would be lost without all our furiends, we love you guys, thank you for everything!

Joey is an angel

Around 4:45 this afternoon, Joey was helped to the Bridge. My heart is broken & I feel so lost. I know we haven't been posting very regular, but I will be taking a few days off so I can grieve for my baby.

Joey

Joey wasn't any better at all yesterday, so last night I called an emergency vet clinic & talked to a vet there. She told me to start syringe feeding him chicken baby food & pedialyte. My sister went to the store & got some, then drove a half hour to bring them to me so I wouldn't have to leave Joey.

I've been feeding him about every 4 hours & he seems to being doing some better. He is still very weak, but he is starting to fight me during his feedings so I take that as a good sign. He even came in & got in bed with me this morning, he rarely did that before he got sick. He even ventured into the kitchen awhile ago, so he must be getting a little strength back.
I have to go babysit for 3 or 4 hours tonight & I hate to leave him, but I need the money.

Thank you all for your purrs, purrayers & prayers. Hopefully he will get well & not leave me. He's only been here for about 2 1/2 months, but I can't imagine my life without him.

Update on Joey

UPDATE: We just returned from the vet a few minutes ago. Joey is very anemic, dehydrated & has some jaundice. The vet said it could be (insert big word here) a blood parasite, which is treatable or something else (didn't say what) that isn't. He gave him an antibiotic shot & fluids, along with a dose of liquid vitamins. He sent home the vitamins & some antibiotic capsules & said hopefully this will work. I waited until he was done before I told him I couldn't pay him today, so he let me charge it. Please pray it's the blood parasite & that the antibiotics knock it out so that Joey can get well. Thank you all.




Joey took a bad turn last night & is barely hanging on. I called the vet this morning & he was going out on an emergency call & would let me know when he was back in the office, but that it would be around noon. I just got a call & he's pushed it to 1:15. Please pray that Joey can hold on & that he can be healed from whatever is making him sick.

PURRS NEEDED

This is Mama taking over the blog. I'm asking for purrs & purrayers for Joey....for the last week & a half, he has been eating very little & losing weight. I've tried stinky goodness, baby food & even changed the crunchies & nothing is working. The only thing I can get him to eat is Temptations & not very many of them. He was doing a little better yesterday but today he has vomited twice. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

Merry Christmas

We apawlogize for not blogging & commenting, things around here have been....shall we say strained, for the last few weeks.

But we wanted to wish efurrybuddy a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays. And we want to thank our furiends that sent us Christmas cards. We also have to apawlogize for not sending out cards, Mama said that time & green papers got away from her.

Hopefully after the holidays Mama will let us write a big, long, boring post about what's been going on. Till then, please don't forget us....

Woo Hoo!!

Mama found out that she finally gets to start her new jobbie on Monday!! Of course, she probably could've started about a week & a half ago if she hadn't forgotten to turn in one of her papers....we can't give her too much grief cause the boss lady said there were several that haven't turned in everything. That made Mama feel a little better. She gets to ride the Pre-K bus, which is what she was hoping for, so she's happy!

We probably won't get to post again before Thanksgiving, so we want to wish the whole CB a very Happy Turkey Day!!!

Thankful Thursday with Joey

Hi everybuddy! The Lady...ummm...Mama said I could post today. If I look a little irritated, it's because I was in the middle of a bath when I got

interrupted by the flashy box. Anyway, I get to tell you what I'm thankful for:

I'm thankful for Mama taking me in & taking care of me.

I'm thankful for a warm, dry home & plenty of foods to eat.

And I'm thankful for the wonderful beans on the Cat Blogosphere that helped make all this possible!!

Mama is in trouble!

It's bad enough that she leaves us all the time, but she didn't post on Sammy's birthday, we haven't been able to visit our furiends or get to wish ZH Ann a happy birthday!! What should we do with her? We need her to feed us & scoop our poops, but we are about to trade her in. She swears she's gonna get it together soon, but we're not sure. Maybe we'll giver her one more chance....

Finally Friday

Although for us, Friday means Mama's going to Auntie Lori's for the weekend....she's been doing that ALOT!! That's why we haven't been around much, Mama's too busy hanging out with Auntie Lori & their friends. What about OUR furiends?? We want to visit & hang out too. Mama says hopefully her jobbie will start soon ( she hasn't heard when she gets to start yet), then she'll be staying home on the weekends & will help us blog more. Yeah right, she better if she knows what's good for her!

Joey is doing really good, some of us are still not to happy about him joining us, but things have calmed down quite a bit. There's still a little hissing & growling from time to time, but we had that between Emma & Festus anyway. Now she just has one more kitty to fuss at & she does fuss at him! Fes is really jealous because he was Mama's baby & he isn't very happy about having to share her with Joey. But, all in all, we get along pretty good.

Mama wants to thank everyone again for the advice & donations, she will be sending out Thank You cards soon. Her friends laugh about our cat blog, she tells em to go ahead & laugh, but cat bloggers are the best people in the world!!

Mama won't be home tonight or tomorrow till late, so we wanted to post our Veteran's Day post a little early. Remember to thank a Veteran for our freedom!!
