Thatll bulk her up

So amidst all the hectic frenzy of the holiday, I somehow managed to find time to finally take Teaser (my 18 year old Siamese/ragdoll cat) to the vet for a long overdue appointment for shots and blood work. Turns out her hyperthyroidism is on the rise, so that means increasing her meds. This is no big deal really, actually easier to use half pills than quarter pills. But having to give her fluids for her "kitty dialysis" is a whole other story. And yes I am sure many of you will think I am absolutely nuts for being willing to do this for her, but she has spunk and a lot of life left. She's not in pain and the treatments don't seem to bother her...yet. I just can't pat with her when she has all that life left. But there will come a day when it will be time and I know it won't be easy. She's my baby. It takes a pet owner to fully understand that bond. And for today she has spend so much time curled up next to me purring, that I feel like now isn't her time. I feel guilty for leaving her in the hands of my sister while I leave, but know that she will get lots of love and attention. I'm sure she will be around for a while longer with us.
