Yesterday was an FFRC surgery day. We did 2 males, 7 spays and 1 amputation. All of the surgery physicals were good!
Neuters: Cohen and a public kitten
Spays: Terri, Traverse, Tippy Toe, Djinn, Boom Boom, Smokey and a public cat
We also did the left leg amputation on Cohen. He did great. Dr. Darcy is superb. This morning, Cohen is already moving about but is resting alot too which is what we want him to do. He is of course, on antibiotics and soreness meds.
Dr. Darcy also did some physicals: Dominic, McSplash, McSplish, Hensley, Coralie, Zelda, Coralie and Lucas. All are good. I'm glad to say Coralie's ears are clear and look great. We'll just keep up on maintenance now for her.
A big thanks to Joyce D for our pizza and bread sticks lunch and to MLS for providing the drinks. Much appreciated
Dr. Darcy also took a look at Jessie. Things have changed for our sweet girl. Her tumor has grown and yesterday it was painful upon palpation. She had also lost a bit more weight. Because we love Jessie so much and respect her, the decision was made to let her pass over to the Rainbow Bridge. It was the right decision. Remember, my feelings are always---it's better to let go 10 days too early than to be one day too late. Jessie was at that point of being tired and the tumor was a problem. So....our dear sweet 21 1/2 year old girl is resting peacefully now. She arrived here 5/26/14 after her long time mom could no longer care for her due to her own health. She was 15 then. I remember her mom told me stories about Jessie. Before she came here, she was an inside/outside cat and would present "presents' to her mom at the door. Our sweet Jessie actually brought up a 4 foot snake to the door and wanted to bring it in! The answer was--you're a good girl but no snakes in the house. The snake went back into the woods unharmed. That's our hunter Jessie. We all loved her so much and would answer to her beck and call. Thank you all too for being a part of our Jessie's life.
McSplish, McSplash and Dominic are doing better each day. McSplash is rubbing on my legs right now--he's such a baby! I feel he will lose some weight just by being active here.
We have thanks to give!

Remember our little Owen that was adopted! His mama sure dos love him. She says he is a lover, an angel and such a good boy. He enjoys being brushed and is an eating machine!
Another adoption! Mooi has went into her new home. She will also have 2 older kittens to play with. We know that Mooi is a bit shy but her new mama has tons of patience to work with her! Mooi was purring in the carrier so that was a good beginning!
Ramsay so loves his Ferrari car! It's perfect for him. You've seen the headrests on it? He can put his head right between that and it holds his head steady! It's also the perfect height for resting his head along the sides. He loves it.
Today we have the door open between the two Thumper's Room--hoping to get the 4 kittens of Smokey/Shadow to be adventurous. Jersey, Frankie and now Buddy are eating from the plate. Roosevelt is thinking about it! Smokey is spayed now and will go back to her original family as soon as the kittens are all eating good.
Irene and her 4 kittens are also doing great. They aren't thinking of plate food yet but they sure are playing hard and are now all over their Paddy's Place room. So sweet!
Take good care! Stay healthy. And give your pets some extra huggings today.
