Blest Sunday’s Inspirations

Meowllo evewypawdy and a happy and Blest Sunday to you all. Yep dat’s wight. It’s time fur ow weekly blest Sunday posty. And OMC Hav fings been on a woller coaster fur us this week. As you know it stawted out wiff Sissy goin’ to da office of torture on Monday and they made us wait all week fur da wesults. Mommy be tweatin’ sissy’s infection wiff sumfin’ naturwal till da Vet calls us back and purrscwibes sumfin’ else. A culture wuz posed to be dun on hers uwine but wiff all da incompetence weez sperienced fwum dat udder Vets office weez guessin’ they didn’t do it. So it’s pawsible dat we may hav to hav Lexi go in fur anudder uwinalysis. Mommy sure hopes not. And it’’s not just cuz of da gween papers, it’s cuz  sissy’s been poked enuff fur a bit mommy sez. So even tho’ this whole sperience wiff this udder Vet wuz pawful, weez coountin’ it as a blessin’ cuz we wuz able to finally get sissy’s wesults. And they be much better than we kuld have hoped fur.

Meowllo evewypawdy and happy Caturday. Well weez didn’t get any visitin’ dun yesfurday, and may not get much dun today eevew. And nope it wusn’t cuz we wuz out stwollin’ eevew. We finally got sis Lexi’s test wesults in da mail. And yous know what? They purrppussly sent them to da wrong addwess. Oh yes they did. And yep yous guessed it, mommy’s livid. Then on top of dat when she opened them da furst page had sissy’s urinalysis on it and It clearly shows an infection. Dat’s wight, there’s an infection. And da VET sed in da email she sent us as well as on da fone when she talked wiff mommy dat there wuz no infection whatsoevew. So sissy be havin an infection and maybe even pain and not getting’ any tweatment whatsoevew. Mommy feels just pawful dat all this be happenin’ to Lexi. Well mommy spent most of da day pourin’ ovew those wesults twyin’ to figger it all out, and postin’ ‘em to Tanya’s site so we kuld get sum help figgewin’ all this out. Weez not postin’ da wesults here as we don’t know how many of ya’ wuld care to see them or unnewstand what yous be lookin’ at.

Weez hav this new foto ap dat mommy found and well, weez kuldn’t even begin to tell ya’ what she did. Da only fing weez member is addin’ watercolor flter to a weally blurry foto.

 

 

 

Da one fing we did learn fur sure is dat sissy’s phosphorous levels dat we wuz so worried ‘bout actually be low, too low in fact. You know what dat means? She can hav any food she wants and as much of it as she wants. Well gotta tell ya’ dat makes sissy happy. Or at least it will when she figgers it out. She just tried a food dat she luvs, luvs, luvs. It’s callled Soulistic Tri-Fusion Tuna wiff Salmon, beef and duck in gravy. Moommy set da plate down and walked into da livin’ room and set meez plate down and walked back to da kitchen to get hers cup of coffee, and sissy’s plate wuz licked clean. Yep, empty, evewyfin’ wuz gone and sissy wuz smackin’ hers lips. And this is a food dat wuz borderline fur her ifin she needed to lower hers phosphorous levels, but now dat she dusn’t have to worry ‘bout dat she kuld have this all day long.

Anyways, wecently sissy posted da horror dat wuz hers VET visit and we actually got a foo comments dat took mommy way back. So we fawt we wuld quickly give you ow take on dat subject. As you know mommy went back wiff Lexi to have hers blood work and uwinalysis. And as you know it didn’t go well. Altho’ da techs didn’t want mommy to come, they allowed it. Now we know why they didn’t want her there. But twuff is, VETs used to tell peeps to let da tech hold their animal or take the animal out of da room fur all shots and tweatments and tests. They wuld telll peeps dat it wuz to keep yous pet fwum associatin’ bad fings wiff you, their hooman. How many of you have heard dat? Purrawlly most of ya’.

 dw Lexi lap3949

Da one we like is, “your pet does so much better without you there.” Ya’ wanna know why? It’s cuz ifin yous not there to speak up and purrtect yous pet, they can do whatever they want or feel they need to in order to make yous pet comply. Da only time dat sayin’ be twu is ifin yous one to fweak out at da sight of blood, needles, or da sound or sight of yous pet squirmin, fightin’ or yelpin’/mewin’. As fur yous pet associatin’ you wiff da bad ifin yous purresent, dat’s just not twu. And ifin these fotos of Lexi don’t purrove It to ya’, well then keep sendin’ yous baby off wiff da tech. Dat’s okay and nopawdy be judgin’ ya’ least of all us. It took evewyfin’ mommy had to maintain her cool and not lose it or jump all ovew those girlies at sissy’s pointment. And twust us, they haven’t heard da last fwum mommy. We just wanted you to know dat yous not have to believe dat myth anymore. We also say no matter how well you like and twust yous VET it nevew hurts to be purresent at least once in a while. Ifin fur no udder weason than to keep them on their toes. We also wanna fank all of ya’ dat be wecommendin’ Tanya’s CRF site to us. Weez awe alweady aware of da site and dat’s da suppowt gwoup we wuz talkin’ ‘bout.

Now today be shoppin’ wound da world wiff Bacon and Fozziemum. Twuff is mommy hasn’t bought gwocewies in quite sum time, so weez gunna give ya’ da purrices we found in da local stowre here. Which by da way now has a new owner. They purrawmissed lower purrices, but most peeps be complainin’ dat they waised da purrices. We didn’t find dat to be da case, but it’s not owned by a local anymowe and in a town this size, dat be enuff to cause peeps not to like anyfin’ ‘bout it. Anyways, on wiff da shoppin’ list.

Da furst item up is Milk. A gallon of da off/stowre bwand at da Dollaw Genewal be $4.65 and .10 cents mowe at Fwamily Dollaw and da gwocewy.

Da next item is tomatoes. Romas wuz on sale this week and da only ones da stowre had in stock. They wuz .79 cents a pound We don’t know how many dat wuld get ya’ as there’s no scale at da gwocewy store. So yous kinda take yous chances on by da pound stuffs.  

Da next item…a canned purroduct. Da stowre bwand of corn, gween beans, peas, etc. be $1.29.  

Then Bacon asked fur a Random item and a homemade dish. Mommy dusn’t make much these days, but she checked da purrices fur a one of hers favowit meals fwum her yunger days when she worked and had munny. She luvved a good ole steak dinner. So, da NY stwip(small) wuz: $11.69, da Filet wuz: $12.58. A nice size bakin’ potato wuz: $2.00. Butter be $4.25 fur a pound and mommy weally likes da butter so fur a nice big tater she wuld need at least a 1/2 stick so ‘bout .60 cents fur butter and she likes cheese on hers tater. Hers favowit cheese is Cabot Sharp cheddar at $9.75 fur 2 lbs. so it wuld cost ‘bout $1.21 fur cheese. And she ‘cided a package of dinner rolls wuld be cheaper than makin’ ‘em herselff, so they wuld cost $1.89 fur da stowre bwand. This be way too much munny so mommy didn’t add in a salad or any udder sides. So a homemade dinner wuld cost $17.39 to $18.28.  OMC dat’s one meal. No wunnew mommy dusn’t buy gwocewies.

You wuld be wight ‘bout boff those fings, but it seems eeven tho’ mommy dusn’t work anymowe hers still kinda wuns like she duz. She twies to put in hers 12 hours on da puter evewyday workin’ on meez bloggy and visitin’ wiff ow furiends, and facebook and all da udder stuffs we do. And now hers puttin’ in extwa time wesearchin’ fings ‘bout sis Lexi’s CKD/CRF. So when da weekend comes, she usually spends mowe time wiff us and less on da puter. It keeps us behind in ow visitin’, but she sez all this wuz stawted fur us, and ifin she dusn’t spend time wiff us, then all this wuz fur naught. So dat’s why meez so happy ‘bout it bein’ da weekend. And meez hostin’ a dance at Cat Scouts tomowwo. Yeah me be a little nervous cuz meez never dun this afur, but meez still ‘cited cuz it’s gunna be so much fun. Ifin yous been finkin’ ‘bout joinin’ up, no time like da purresent. Just click on da link (cat scouts) above.

As you all know weez now 7 weeks into sis Lexi’s diagnosis of early stage Renal Failure. Hers diagnosis wuz made wiff a simple urinalysis and altho’ mommy asked fur bloodwork to be dun, ow Vet found dat unnecessary. Dat did bodder mommy a bit, but she wuz so shocked by da diagnosis she kuldn’t weally fink very clearly and let it go. She came home and dug in and stawted wesearchin’. Evewy where she looked, blood work seemed very purrtant. Has sumfin’ to do wiff da nummews and all. So when mommy took Lexi in fur hers 6 week check up, she again asked fur a blood work up. Da Vet completely ignored mommy and sed she wuz duin’ what she needed to be duin’ and dat sissy looked gweat. Now mommy wuz fwustwated. We like ow Vet and we get a small discount which weally helps, but mommy feels she weally needs mowe infurmation to manage sissy’s illness. Specially when we heard fwum ow sweet furiend Brian dat Zoe had beat this pawful fing based on hers nummews. So mommy set out to learn how to make Lexi da next one to beat this pawfull disease. Turns out dat wuz easier sed then dun.

Don’t know what’s up wiff da Vets wound here, but getting’ one to do a CBC/Sr. Blood Panel wuz hawder than we evew spected. Evewy time we turn wound one of ow furiends is havin’ their blood stolen, but dat’s not sumfin’ kitties wound here have to deal wiff pawently. But yesfurday we finally found a vet dat wuld do just dat. Now we need to find da munny to pay fur it afur ow pointment on Monday. Da cost is gunna be $132.00. Dat wuld include da office visit, Full CBC and a new urinalysis. We kuld get by wiff $100.00 and skip da urinalysis, but mommy wuld like to get furesh tests as ifin it wuz da furst time so she wuld have a complete picture of where sissy be at. Mommy found dat there awe noms out there dat sissy will eat dat not be outwageously purriced. They awen’t purrscwiption, but mommy hasn’t had any kitty dat wuld eat those purrscwiption diets. As weez sed afur, it be da phosphowous content dat needs to be low, not da purrotien. Altho’ da purrotien needs to be fwum a “good” source. Ifin you can help wiff da Vet cost we wuld sure purreciate it. Ow PayPal addwess be on da PayPal link on ow sidebaw.
