Hi Everyone:
I just called about Grace. The lady told me they are going to have her picture enlarged and put it on the wall with the grandchildren. That made me very happy, to know they are loving her. I was her protector from any more bad things happening to her, so I can breathe a sigh of relief. I miss her sweet face terribly.They have been taking pictures of her on their cell phones and sending them to all their friends. They said the whole family is coming to see her that they cannot believe she is so beautiful. Tipper has perked up a bit, but I haven't.
I am not feeling too well from all this. We are just having a very restful day. I made a pot of chicken noodle soup, and Tipper is showing me how she will destroy her toy because of no walk. I just cannot do it today. Blessings

Patti,
it will get better and I am so glad that the people don't mind keeping in touch with you. They must know how much you love Grace!

She has been given a second chance twice now. Patti, you did a wonderful thing for Grace and these people.

HUG!!!!

She has been given a second chance twice now. Patti, you did a wonderful thing for Grace and these people.

Ditto! Patti, you gave new life not only to Grace but to people who needed to give the love they carried in their hearts to Grace, a love that was in limbo. You breathed life into Grace and the couple who gave her a furever home. I could envision this couple out shopping for Grace and the excitement they were feeling; I wondered how long it had been since they felt so giddy with excitement. You gave them a child, Patti, a child to lavish all that love on that was sitting in their hearts just waiting for release.

I see the tears we shed over babies like this - the ones we take in, help, then let go to a furever home - sort of like a baptism. We have taken in their neglect and abuse, we have given them a glimpse of what life truly can be, of what love is, and then we hand them off with tears flowing. Those tears carry all of that abuse and neglect we took in away, just as baptism washes sin away. Our tears wash them "clean" and allow them to have a new life.

Namaste', dear Patti. The Divine in you has saved a life.

Here's my ditto to what Leslie, the gifted person said. It sounds like the outcome of Grace matter is a very positive one all around especially for Grace. I'm cautiously relieved about the fact that those couple might be willing to leave a door open for you to stay in contact in some fashion so you will be in the loop as it should give you a piece of mind so you can step in if anything should happen to her. (I hope not and chances are probably not) Can you gently approach them if that's a possibility with them as it could be also beneficial to them at some point in their lives for various reasons especially depending on how old and healthy they are. I can't see them refuse this if they put Grace's best interest and well being first because they must know how much you care about Grace by now. But for now I think we should all be happy for Grace that she's found her forever home and hope that this new chapter of her life will be filled with love and care she so deserves and craved for it seems like.
She's such a beautiful cat and also her luck was so incredible on that faithful day when she met you. I have no doubt she is a survivor. You've done something awfully good, Patti.

Hi Everyone:
I know I did the best thing for Grace, but her absence is killing me. I cannot face being in my office without her pawing at me and seeing her sweet face. Tipper was restless earlynthis morning, moving about the bed every few seconds. Either the cortisol is climbing in the early hours, or she is uncomfortable from something inside her making her feel that way. I guess we will see what the new numbers are next week. It is snowing here and very cold. We will not be going out walking. I don't feel well anyway. In some ways I wish I could go back to last week and Grace would still be here. Tipper is very sick of being inside. We do not have to go out until Wednesday to the vets. Tipper seems to be doing well on the 15mg in the morning. I am hoping this will be her dose for a while as I have so many different mgs of the trilostane I could start a small pharmacy. Blessings

Hi Patti,
I'm sorry you're missing Grace, it's hard after you made such a connection with her. It sounds as though she's getting attention and love with these people...I know that doesn't exactly make your heart stop hurting though.
Are you doing an acth next week? I lost track of what dose you're doing now...15mg in the morning I know, but what's the evening dose now?
My vet was sick all last week so I haven't been able to speak to him about the triglycerides and fish oil. Hopefully this week I'll be able to get him on the phone for a few moments to discuss.
No snow here...suns out but temps dropping, took Trixie on a long walk along the river. Time for her breakfast and med.
Hope your day goes okay...I know it's going to be hard for you to face your office space.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I know the office is a tough one for you. Can Tipper go in with you? or Toby? So you aren't alone in there maybe.

hi patti, i am glad that grace found such a good home and that they like her so much and keep in touch with you.
more snow? just what you needed.
take good care of yourself and hopefully you and the doggies can have a decent walk tomorrow to clear the head!

[doxiesrock912]

We're getting more snow too Patti, just when things are starting to thaw.
Daisy hasn't been herself the past few days. Hoping it was just a bug because she skipped a few meals just not in a row. No diarrhea or vomiting so I don't believe that it's related to her recent increase in Trilostane.

I'm so sorry that you and Tipper aren't feeling well and that you're really missing Grace. Time will heal and I am glad that Grace's newest family is keeping you updated. They sound like really nice people.
