#1 Cat.

 Lilo, #1 cat (of the three)... is not well.
 
Took her to the vet on Saturday after several days of not eating, and she has been in the animal equivalent of an ICU ever since with apparent severe kidney failure. They have her on an IV and assorted medications.
 Yesterday, she was lethargic and not responding.  
Today, she seemed to have a little more energy.
 
  
 
I spent a better part of the today with her, and got her to take in 33ml of liquid food via syringe (1ml at a time), which, when I looked at the bowl when she "had enough" was quite a bit more than she normally eats when she's home.
 
Awaiting the call on today's lab work. We don't know what the condition is of her kidneys until then; if there will be a rebound. Either she comes home for hospice care, or she stays until she stabilizes further and I go over daily (about an hours drive) to hand feed her until her strength returns. 
 
Normally, I check in on the blog a couple times a day, but I will be out of pocket until I see this through.   
 
 
UPDATE: Her lab work today has come back with positive trends on kidney functions.  She is not out of the woods, but at least she might be on the right path. More days in the ICU before she comes home; perhaps as soon as Friday.

Sunday Morning Sip

WE MADE IT!!!!  The final Sunday of March!!! 

Let's bond over a cup.
 
 
We can attest... oddly. 

Thank you, Wiley! 

Ah-yup!  I have done that!  A lot! 

It's called winning the "Dickie Doo" award.
Your belly sticks out further than your dickie do. 

My brain is turning in one of those subway cars.
You know the one... your in it and the lights go out
but the car keeps rolling until it hits the next
power track and the lights come back on.
That's my brain at work. I walk from one room 
to the next, oblivious of WHY I am going to
the other room... until I get there. 

YEE-HAW!!!  
 

 

Uh-huh. 

Thinking of Ukraine. 

...and the crap that we're doing to it. 

 "Oh the humanity!"

...and we developed no allergies... 

How quickly we forget.
 
Let's end this month on a happy note.
Take it away, Beaker.

No Kings: Bette Midler - Protest song!

THANK YOU, Divine Miss M!!!!

 

Lyrics: 

Because sometimes, people, sometimes... you just got to sing out.

All you fascist bound to lose.

All you fascist bound to lose. I said all you fascists bound to lose. You're bound to lose.

You fascist bound to lose.

Hey there all you fascists. Let me put you straight when you come for the rest of us. We'll fight you at the gate and you will lose. You fascist bound to lose.

We'll battle together until they cut and run just like in Minneapolis.

And when the midterms come, you're bound to lose. Your fascist bound to lose.

All you fascists bound to lose. All you fascists bound to lose.

I said all you fascists bound to lose. You're bound to lose. You fascist bound to lose.

To hell with all the cowards who hide behind their mask. We're going to win the midterms. Quit calling for his back. He knows it, too. That bastard's bound to lose.

Trying to distract us from the Epstein files. You guys [singing] from beating murderers, protecting pedophiles.

Let's turn the screws. You pervs loose.

All you fascist bound lose.

 

 

No Kings! Today!

 

Today is NO KINGS day!   
 
Find a protest!
Join a protest!
Do something! 
Make some good trouble!  

Saturday Morning Sip

Wow!  The final weekend of March!  

I can see that. 
 
 


Thank you, Wiley! 

...campaign ads are starting again... 

Another coping mechanism. Thank you, Scotty! 

 

 

I dare everyone - work for an hour in a field. Dare ya! 
Went ONCE... ONCE to a "Pick Your Own Strawberries" farm.
Spent ONE hour to pick ONE quart of strawberries
and I was COOKED.  I will ALWAYS honor 
and respect the migrant workers who are willing
to toil for our food!  

They go in, but never come out... 

Leave my fucking sparkle alone!!! 

Not redacted... edited. 

Because they are gagged and bagged in a 
sealed drawer deep in the fridge. 

Oh... Ivan.  I needed something 
cute to gaze at today. 
 
Now to revisit my childhood memories...
