  • And we spend another birthday at the pet hospital...

    Well, Crookshanks has taken a turn for the worse. Jeremy is with him at another animal hospital. Our vet is out of town. I'm too upset to be of much use so I'm at home sobbing. When we woke up this morning he wasn't in bed with us, which was strange. He was out in the living room and as soon as we got near him he started screaming. He had pooed on the carpet, and vomited on the carpet in Joey's room. When Jeremy moved him, he crawled back to where he was by dragging himself on his front paws. (That's when I really lost it. I just kept thinking, 'He's gonna end up like me, he's gonna end up like me.') Crying and being sick at the same time really make it difficult to breathe. I just can't take it. He already went through so much last weekend. Jeremy says it looks like he is using his right foot a little bit so I'm praying it's just a problem with his left foot.

    I just can't bear to watch him suffer anymore. I hope Jeremy brings good news home. I just don't get it. He was doing fine yesterday. He's been eating and drinking and going to the bathroom. I thought he was all better so I don't know if this is related or not.

    Today is Joey's birthday. I hope we can make it special later today. I definitely don't feel like celebrating but I'm gonna take a shower and hopefully I can put on a brave face and continue all the birthday festivities with a smile on my face.

    But first I have to stop crying.
