That time is drawing near
Back during the summer of 2007 I came to you all (My LJ Family and friends) about my beloved Fannie being diagnosed with liver and kidney failure. During that time the Vet said she’ll live for only 3 more months. I took her to another vet and she diagnosed her the same but didn’t give her a “death sentence” because I warned her that she’s not GOD (along with a bitch slapping if she said that bullshit to me)!!!!
Both Vet Doctors wanted me to pay for all kinds of treatments that will possibly prolong Fannies life. Treatments that would have cost me $2,300 - $3,000 a month. Since I’m a Holistic Doctor I decided to help Fannie myself with my own treatment which has worked beautifully. She was 13 when her liver started failing and last week my precious fur ball made it to 16!!!!! Talk about a big FUCK YOU to the veterinarians who thought she wouldn’t last past 3 months in 2007.
A friend of mine told me that Fannie is my spiritual guide and she will not leave me until I am heading in the direction I’m suppose to. When I start moving in a new direction with a new purpose along with goals my Fannie would have accomplished her purpose for being in my life and leave. She will no longer be needed here in the physical and thus make that transition into the spiritual world. For selfish reasons I refused to accept Fannie leaving me. I didn’t want her to die because it wouldn’t be the best for me. I want her to be here with me for always and I could careless what she wanted or why she was here in my life in the first place.
Now that she has turned 16 the selfish part of me is gone. I have accepted the fact that Fannie will make her transition this year. She gave me signs 3 weeks ago and I am preparing myself for that moment. It’s not an easy pill to swallow but I managing.
For some reason Fannie is really showing her age this week. Her meow is softer, she walks slower, she is more affectionate and constantly sits in front on my electric heater. Hell! I even brought her an electric blanket last year to lay in while I’m away at the gym or running errands because I don’t want the electric heater to run while I’m not home. Right now she is lying in the sun and looks so peaceful. I don’t feed her any medicated food anymore. She refuse to eat it and that shit is expensive so why waste my money? Instead, 90% of her diet consist of cooked fish like tilapia, salmon, cod or flounder. Yes, my boo is eating like a Queen and I budgeted my finances last year and this year so that I can continue to feed her this way.
Words can not express how much I love this cat. I have altered my enter life/lifestyle for the past three years due to her illness. She has had more good days than bad until recently. Now her bad days are more frequent. Before March she would have one bad day every other week. Now it’s twice a week every week. I know she’s preparing me for that time and I can honestly say that I’m more prepared for it now than I was in 2007 and 2008.
Pets are the best thing that “The Higher Power” has ever created for humans. I am very grateful to have Fannie in my life and I’m glad that she’s been in my life for the past 16 years. No other pet will be able to meet the high standards that she set and when that dreaded moment comes when she make her transition from the physical to the spiritual world I will not replace her. No other pet could give me the satisfaction or joy that Fannie has given me and I refuse to get another.
I just wanted to take some time to express my feelings and to share with you all what’s going on with “Miss Thang”. I did throw a mini birthday party for Fannie last week minus the hat, candles and banner but don’t you worry…………FANNIE’S BIRTHDAY PART TWO IS COMING THIS WEEKEND and you better believe all that stuff will be included.
Of course pics will be posted for your (and my amusement) HA!
Cya!
