Re: 2 oct

Mae all -

Mick, oh dear!!! SO Sorry to hear about Jeeves... Good luck to the vet - I hope they will be able to help the poor little guy... it is so very hard when our loved pets are sick... sending positive thoughts and comfort to you.

Lav, did I miss the report on the party? Or maybe it is today... I've gotten so messed up on days/dates that I have a hard time knowing which day it is, ever! Glad that you didn't get terrible storms as a result of the Hurricane. I have friends in Havana, Cuba (right on the ocean, 10th floor, wall of windows)... they got through the storm okay, but didn't have power. I was hoping that was solved, but last night I saw on the news that Havana is out of power - everywhere. I can't imagine how their family of 6 is handling this -- or the people in FL that are without power for so long - and the hospitals - dear me, what an utter disaster...

PPQ - hoping that you are having a quiet and relaxing Sunday.

Best wishes to all who drop by - Sam and Det, hoping that you are both doing okay - and Pauly, sending love --

Re: 2 oct

Good evening friends,

The birthday gathering went very well, the entire group was here together & no one exploded or anything haha!
I made sure my kids understood that we are getting OLD & there may not be many more birthdays to celebrate so it’s time to put the BS away once & for all. It was a very enjoying afternoon in the pouring rain thanks to Ian. Pic on FB if anyone interested

Mick, I’m sorry to hear Jeeves in not well. I hope the Vet can get him back into shape quickly. Will be thinking of you all :hug:

Cyn, yep, today was party day & it went off without a hitch. I have to say now that the kids are grown, it’s a much easier & quieter gathering, Lol.
I have a friend in norther FL, closer to the west coast & she said they got thru Ian OK.they built their home down there about 5 years ago & the builder told them they should get a whole house generator (like the one we have here) but they haven’t gotten around to getting one yet. The people of Cuba & PR really took a hard hit from the storm, hope your friends are OK.

PQ, hello, hope you have enjoyed a peaceful weekend

Hello to the rest of teh group & wishing a nice night for all!

Re: 2 oct

Oh my, I’m the first one here today?

Mick, I imagine you are busy with Jeeves today. Hope he comes thru OK :hug:

Still getting rain connected to the hurricane & our local creeks are spilling out over the roads. One more day of this & it will be done.
I have some more orders to fill from the craft fair so I should get to work.
Hello to PQ, Cyn & everyone.

Have a good night all!

Re: 2 oct

MAE ALL...

I had a very peaceful weekend, I sure needed it. Not one phone call from the boss or alarm company. Boss got quite a few calls and text all the way up to midnight. I figure it was his turn. LOL It was a very busy day so at least it went fast. I happened to check my calendar and noticed a team meeting for this morning, everybody but the boss forgot about it. The accountant hadn't even done the minutes from the meeting last month.

Mick...I hope Jeeves is doing ok. Thinking of you guys. Sorry you had to postpone your detecting and 1st van trip, I'm sure the decision to stay home was the right one.

TG...you sound just as busy as me. You watch those triggers and get things sorted out. How long are you going to be away for?

Lav...you remind me of a quilter, it's never finished. LOL So glad the party went well, you deserved that. We're still enjoying warm dry weather. I know we're going to pay for it when it starts snowing. I hope your weather forecast is correct and things start to dry up. How's Luna doing?

Hope everyone has a good night....:smile:PPQP

Re: 2 oct

that was yesterdays post.it did its own thing ...hope everyone is doing good .Jeeves getting iv meds still and fed by syringe ,no change overnight ,they are going to /have ultra sounded his kidneys ...blood tests showed an abnormality with them

[Mick]

Re: 2 oct

just got a message about Jeeves ..it isnt good ..one of his kidneys has a blockage ,and they considered taking it out ,but he is too poorly and the other kidney isnt so good .The choice Ia have been given is to try him on some other medication or say farewell to him .there is a good chance the meds may not work ,and he may not survive .I think despite my best efforts I have lost my little friend heartbroken isnt a phrase I use lightly but this is one sh.t night .

Re: 2 oct

Ah Mick...I am sitting here crying at the moment.

Will post more in a bit.

Re: 2 oct

MAE ALL...

Mick...when I read your 1st post I was totally confused. Then the second post cleared up that confusion. I am so sorry to hear about Jeeves. You and he have been through a lot. I'm sure you'll make the best decision for the both of you. You're in my prayers tonight.

Very frustrating day, the account has lost her mind and she outright lies. This time it affected me directly and I was pissed. Went to the boss and said I'm taking a break, will be back later. All he said was it sounds like a good idea. This was her 1/2 day today and I just thought she'd better be gone before I get back, and she was. So the rest of the day went smoothly and I got a lot accomplished. Geeze!

Shout out to the rest of the gang, I'm sure you'll be popping in soon. Have a good night all...:smile:PPQP

Re: 2 oct

Good evening friends,

Mick, I’m so sorry about Jeeves. You certainly have given him a good life & lots of loving care. It’s so hard to say goodbye to them, been through it so many times myself :hug:
Will be keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers. Take care of yourself too.

PQ, glad the weekend was quiet for a change. Yuor accountant must be some real bozo, sorry. How can anyone working a half a day cause so much ruckus? Sounds like she needs some medication or something.
We are still in rain mode here from Ian, approaching 4” now. I think we’ve had quite enough. Thursday is supposed to be a nice day so I’m holding that thought.
Luna is OK, expanding daily. With a 63 day gestation period she’s looking like it’s going to be soon, poor thing. I will definitely follow the Vet’s instructions & get her in to be spayed when the new kittens are a few weeks old so she doesn’t have to deal with this again. I also need to track down the people who come out & set traps for all these feral cats & kittens. Luna is staying with me!!

Hello to cyn, hope yuor week is going well.

Hope to hear from Pauly, Det & Sam at some point.

Have a good night all!
Lav

Re: 2 oct

Oh dear Mick, sending hope and also solace... it is such a hard knock when we have to see the fragility of our beloved animal companions... Our hearts are with you -

Lav, congrats on the family get-together... everyone looks great and happy - you have played the long game, and it has turned out well - congrats!

PPQ, sorry for the work stress.. hoping these last few days get better...

I was in NYC yesterday for the memorial of a dear musician friend of my husband (and of mine). Rainy day, and long, but I made it there and back in one piece - grateful. That definitely took the starch out of me, so I’ve had a slower day today, but in the end all is well...

Cheers to all ,

Re: 2 oct

Hello and good morning to you all. Well what a surprise this morning, I couldn't sleep and was awake and up at 4 a.m. my stop at 6:30 I got a phone call from the vets, Jeeves had been in there intensive care unit on oxygen all night, but was eating kale like it was going out of fashion. Considering this little fellow was on death's door last night they were amazed. I have just had a phone call from the vet, he is completely off the oxygen now now.com uh-uh still has the condition with his kidneys and probably always will have have, which makes me think did he have it previously and it has never been detected? The vet says that he is going to the toilet passing urine etc and seems brighter. He isn't out of the woods yet and will always be on medication for his kidneys. She did however want to send him home if he was ok for the rest of the day day. I have said no no I want him in there for at least 24 or 48 hours just to make sure he is ok ok or as ok as can be possible. The other thing is is if he is ill over the weekend then it is an emergency vet that does not know him or indeed his history I would prefer uh a continued period of time whereby he comes home when I have access to event that knows him. May sound selfish and demanding but at the end of the day I want the best for him. So fingers crossed the fat lady is still singing! Pouring down with rain over here today, not that I have really bothered about it or indeed much else full stop hope everyone is having a good day and thank you for your good wishes

Re: 2 oct

Oh Mick, that is such good(ish) news... I am sending wishes for his continued recovery...
So maybe now go take a nap and get some rest!!!
Happy Hump Day to all -
Cheers,

Re: 2 oct

Good evening friends,

Today is supposed to be our last rain day & tomorrow will be a sunny 73 degree day, yay! Tired of the achy joints from all this cooler & damp weather.

Cyn, a day trip to NYC is always exhausting for me. Hope you’re rested up a bit by now.
Sunday’s gathering was good although I did detect some awkward moments between my kids & the other’s spouses. I kept my mouth shut & hoped for peace & that’s what we had.

Mick, sounds like Jeeves isn’t ready to quit the life game yet, good for him. Just so he’s happy & comfortable.
I’m sure you’re getting sick of the rain too. My joints feel tired & achy, ugh. I’m keeping a close eye on Luna, I feel her delivery time shouldn’t be too much longer. I just read a little about what signs to looks for so I’m ready whenever she’s ready.

PQ, hope you had some peace at work today

Hello to the rest of the group & wishing everyone a nice night!
