journal entry: saying goodbye to CK

03/27/05 CK, originally uploaded by angelle321.

Today I had to have a cat put to sleep. He was a drop off at my grandma’s and we had had him for quite a few years. He was irritating, stubborn, icky, and so full of personality that you couldn’t help but like him in spite of it all. He was also very old and FIV positive.

Yesterday he showed signs that it was time and today I made the appointment. At a little after 3:00, he died. I am very sad.

Thursday 13 #28 is up

Thirteen things I did already this morning. <— link

I also processed and uploaded quite a few pictures to my flickr last night. If I can do that a few more times, I may just get caught up!

04/21/07 Mikale and Mary in motion

From a technical standpoint, this is probably not the best photo. But it is strange looking and I like it. I have made a note in my photography idea notebook to try more motion at dusk, but use a tripod. Perhaps this weekend.

I’ve been continuing to take care of the kitty, spending lots of time at my grandma’s. Updates, when I have them, are in my journal. Some days there is only the twitter digest.

Thursday Thirteen #26 is up

This week I did thirteen things next to me on the kitchen table.

I’ve been with a kitty Mikale has named Stranger

I’ve been writing steadily, just haven’t been noting it in site news. I’ve been caring for a kitty with a head injury. These links should help you get caught up.

The day I got him from Mary and took him to the vet for the first time.

He started having seizures.

I was scared to call my grandma for the update.

Still seizing so I took him to the emergency vet who gave me limited options.

Trip to my usual vet’s office with a different vet who I like a lot.

Kitty shows some improvement.

More seizures.

Kitty shows continued improvement.

Kitty has an appetite and has next check up on Friday.

For new updates, be sure to check my journal.

This was right after I opened the sliding door. Apparently it’s much more interesting this way!

More in my flickr.
