I swore: NO MORE PETSMy friend Ashleigh had a problem with Pineapple and a neighbor cat, and Pineapple had to go. He is 6 years old, neutered and declawed and formerly an outdoor kitty. Not anymore. I don't want fleas so he's gonna be King of the House indoors and also be the only kitty, which will be new, for him and for me. We always had multiple cats, but unless another one like Pineapple shows up at my door, it will be only him.

Diana asked about Dave in a comment. He is in bed ridden, is so thin despite eating all the time, has beginnings of bed sores, and sleeps most of the time, or lies awake staring at imaginary things. He wants to know the work schedule frequently so he is not late for work. He's been retired for 20 years but these things still haunt him. His legs are pulled up tightly to his body and it hurts him to move them when I change him. This is a terrible way to exist. I pray that God will have mercy and take him home soon.
Oh Melody, I'm so happy for your kitty and so so sorry for Dave. I have watched family members die slowly with dementia and it's so o heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteThis is so hard. . . Thinking of my dad, it was like his body was a prison, with no means of release or escape. All that one can do is see that there is loving care--for the one who has the disease and for their caregivers, who need care too. . . My heart goes out to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update on Dave. I join you in your prayer that God will have mercy and take him home soon. It will be a great blessing for him. Your Pineapple is precious and will be a great comfort for you. Many blessings to you, amazing lady.
ReplyDeletePineapple is so cute! And he will be a great comfort for you. I am so sorry to hear the update on Dave. It is heartbreaking to see someone you love decline and be in pain. I join you in your prayer for God to have mercy and take him home soon. Many blessings to you all.
