Nina's Kitty Pile

Nina sent me some pix to make me smile and they did.  Here's one.  Only instead of kitties, I think they look like little old men.  And they all have loving homes.  Thanks Nina.

A Musing I will go

See Ya Gert

I said goodbye to Gertie this morning.  Monday evening and Tuesday I tried force feeding her the food.  She was just so unhappy.  I called the vet and she said it was time.  So I took her in this morning and it was very hard.  Leo and Zoe were both at the vet when I made the decision.  But Gertie, I had to take to the vet.  After the vet said she was so tired, it went very quickly and I had made the right decision.  I wanted her to go before the pain and she did.

I guess it must seem odd to people who've never had a pet.  The thing is that they're not pets, they're family.  The kind that doesn't judge you, that loves you unconditionally and that kind of love is very precious, in lovers or little furry creatures.

I have over 50 drawings I did of Gertie in the last few days.  Here are a few.

The apartment is very quiet now and I miss her very much.  My little muse.

My Goodbye Girl

I took Gertie to the vet today.  She hasn't been drinking or eating much.  I fully expected to come home alone.  But the vet said let's try one more time, that way you'll know you did everything you could.  So I came home with Gert and syringes to force feed her and special food that smells something awful.  I'm to give her 2 syringes full of food 3x a day and IV fluids everyday.  If she doesn't start to drink and eat on her own then we get back to the vet on Friday and we say goodbye.

I've been saying goodbye to Gert for months now and she always seems to bounce back.  But the vet said her kidneys are shutting down.  I told the vet that it would be so much easier if she looked sick but she walks around with her tail up and follows me around the apt.  She gets up (which is kind of hard for her) and meets at the door when I come home.  She's there in the kitchen meowing for her food only she doesn't eat it.  

Maybe she'll bounce back, she could.

An Unfinished Pillow

Unfinished projects just clog up your life don't they?

My Pink Camera

I like drawing odd angles.

My Wonderful Book Press

Better then any on Ebay.  Watercolor pencil without the water.

And Olive the Pup

And here's the inspiration for olive.
