Can the Adults Please Smoke? Part 24, Drunk on Guinness — Page 113

DG, the appropriate response is "Good, Shira! This FGF is very proud of you!"

---

Good point, Gracie! Let's hope he comes out of his stupor soon. (P.S. I love hiking.)

---

"Good, Shira! This FGF is very proud of you!"

DG, isn't it great that we can be there for each other? Love you!

Shira, that is gorgeous! (The waterfalls, too. )

Well done Shira - both you and the scenery look beautiful!

Yep.

She says her experience is that odds are, it is bad, very bad. I said that the Vet thought it could be a form of pancreatitis, but she thought it was doubtful, and that I should call her after I get the ultrasound back.

She said if it is cancer, no chemo, and if they suggest invasive surgery, say no. Neither really benefits the cat, and only makes the owner feel like they have done all that they can.

And, she said once I knew what was going on for sure, if it is the worst, feed him whatever he wants, and spoil him rotten. Ignore the "special diet" stuff the vets will push. And, that if it is bad, she will keep an eye out for a companion for Zorra when the time is right.

I adopted Zorra from her, and she runs one of the largest rescue programs in my area. She said some cats just have bad genetics, and that at this age, things like this can crop up. There is really nothing you can do to prevent it.

I am hoping against hope that this is just me planning for the worst (which is a bad trait I have, reinforced by some things in my past) and wasting a lot of energy on something simple and easy...

***big big hugs** Best wishes!!!!


So my first big night out since being single....and I get groped by a woman. Only me.

---

Yeah, Chris & I are no longer together. Everything is fine though.

---

Wow. Sorry to hear that, Tink

Not that I want to go into publicly....but I can say that everything is very amicable and ok. I harbor absolutely no hard feelings or anything. It is just part of life.

and....sooo....what else is new and exciting?

I had a big old glass of Bombay Sapphire last night, and promptly went to sleep at about 9... DG has a cell phone camera. Miss P survived and ant attack and demographic challenges from those who consider Virginia to be part of DC. DGG's boy has a cold. Girly turned her A/C on and is having her cable installed. Shameless saw Idina and no police report was filed. DD is getting to direct a show he has always wanted to (I think it was direct)...

Other add on where appropriate.

Oh, and Shira went on a hike and communed with nature, but then demanded a day spa for compensation.

The Vet just called... the blood work was not that bad, so they have no idea until they do the Ultrasound and maybe pull a tissue sample. Some evidence of infection, but no rampant cancer.

And now, for an awwww moment.

I took this earlier today - what a pile of feline fur:
