Little Missy Molly was a topic of conversation yesterday at the vet's office. I sent her x-rays over and two of the docs took a look. Here's the worried part--she's only 1.07 now.
Our treatment is 1 of 3 choices:
1--do the surgery and pin the leg. The risk is very high, worried about respiratory distress because of her very low weight/age. Possibly may lose her.
2--do nothing (except bed rest). It's possible that the leg will heal in a fairly normal position, may have a distinct limp, wondering about the pain level for this ???
3--do nothing now, sit back and wait and see. If the leg doesn't heal in a comfortable way, can do a leg amputation when she has more body weight. Better to be 3 legged, than not to survive the surgery.
So, my call is option 2 or 3, preferably 2 will work! So, for now, she's resting, making friends with Emma Jo. She's another purr-in-izer kitty!
We had our wreath sale yesterday. Oh my--it was wonderful. It had a bit of a slow start, but by the time we were done, all the wreaths were sold. My deep thanks! Total intake for the wreaths is: $1,772. The cost of making the wreaths was $750. Boxes and mailing will be approximately $375. So our profit will be about $647. Many thanks to Angie for creating these beautiful wreaths.

Pat & Ellen left today to go back to Florida with their 2 cats that they brought with them. We sure did enjoy their visit. We have more guests coming up!
Little quirky kitty things: Weeja loves to follow Sarah around box to box--she even waits for her at the beginning of the litterbox trail! Merri loves Elizabeth and gets a bit disgruntled when she is put down, Octavia snagged 3 Appetizers last night, Cutie has a bit of a round tummy, Kukster loves to get inside the dry kitten big container and pop up when it's opened. Joline so enjoys "asking" to go into Thumper's Room, then the back Thumper's Room, then into the Mail Room, then thru that door onto the porch, to go into the front Welcome Room office and then do it all over again! Porchie Hank is wonderful and so smart. He likes to have his Porchie breakfast and then go out to the farmyard for 2 more breakfasts! Tabitha made a new paper-nest this morning. Just gotta love these cats!
It's her eyes, her beautiful eyes! Tabitha
