What a Day...
Well, today has pretty much sucked so far...
It started last night at about 9... and its not going to be over until tonight after 11 or so...
Last night my cat got hurt and nobody knows how it happened or what happened for that matter... he was basically skinned on the shoulder... so I had to call the emergency non-vet (my best friend Laura) to come over and help me take care of him... we got that all taken care of and his skin back on his body... then we started feeding him electrolyte solution (Pedolyte) to get his strength back and get him hydrated again (he didn't lose any blood as there really is none between the skin and the flesh of a cat)
I stayed up with him all night and watched him only sleeping about an hour and a half... I just talked to him and tried to make him feel better and fed him the stuff... and at about 4:30 am he stopped letting me give it to him... I couldn't get anymore in no matter how hard I tried... I couldn't get him to open even when I tried to pry his mouth open... that's when I knew that he was going...
So this morning at 7 I got up and went to the bathroom... then I came back and Laura had text messaged me and asked how he was... I proceeded to call her and let her know what I new... then I asked her about a vet to take him to as I knew he wasn't going to make it and I didn't want him to suffer and I was afraid that he was... so we talked about this vet in New Baltimore and I got the info I needed and called... at 7:40 I called and they got me in at 8:45 (they would have gotten me in earlier but I couldn't get there earlier...)
They were awesome there... they treated me SOOOO nice when I got there... they got me into a room immediately and someone was with me just about the whole time... and they took care of Smudge like he was the only cat in the world... and that really made me feel good...
The really long story above has a moral though... but I can't tell you what it is... because I don't know...
or maybe I do...
Cats... the little fluffy things that we all love to hate and hate to love... no matter how little time we have them (Smudge was only about 7 months) can get to you SO much in the time that are with you... and it really makes you realize how important the things you have are...
Funny thing is... its Thanksgiving... that time of year when we are to give thanks for the things that we are thankful for... and I am here being thankful for the little cat who taught me a lesson in love...
Until the next time we meet...
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!
