Not around....

 I haven't been around due to a stroke and a too long stay in the hospital.... yuck to it all! I am hope and hopefully recuperating!

Tigger not sure with his no Jack being going... 

better...

Tigger seems a little better....he actually ate wet food for the first time and finished a small thing of Sheba!  He still is keeping track of us!

Brought out two scratching pads which we had saved when Jack started using them for litter trays. Tigger used  them to work on his super sharp nails right away!!

Here's hoping he's  getting used to being a solitary cat ( as long as he can keep track of us!) 

grieving?

 Yes we miss Jack the gray stiped cat but I think Tigger is missing him even more and confused . He is not eating much and wants us in sight. Bob is going to empty his boxes daily to monitor things. He will check with the vet if too worrisome.

No ... not another cat!! 

 

 

Back pack time

 Bob and I have been helping financially with Phoenix Family's backpack giveaway.... here's a photo of one of the recipients!!!

By the way.. 1000 backpacks were given out!!

check up etc

This morning  was check up time for my cardiologist.... everything fine and we, the doctor and I enjoyed a discussion about the primary elections last! Heart doing fine...

Then it was off to Hobby Lobby to pick up some holiday floral-type accessories... couldn't find where the polymer resin (Sculpey) had been moved to ...so will pick up some at Michael's  on my next visit...

Convinced Bob to stop at LaMar's donuts ... just had to have an apple fritter. Bob's Father really enjoyed them... The La Mar's weren't quite a good as Topp's in Geneva, NY ! 

I have really decided to "retire" from bear making..... December will be my last show. So I emailed another bear maker out in WA to find out it she wanted my mohair scraps! She was delighted and I am filling a box! This will help with the decluttering!!

Made a blueberry crostata...one of the best good looking ones... gorgeous brown crust and raw sugar sprinkles! 

Tigger

This is Tigger a long time ago! Robb found him at Wayside Waifs at 7 weeks as a friend for Jack! He is feeling a little unsure now that Jack is gone.... and wants to know where Bob and I are ( unless he's sleeping!).

He isn't eating any wet food just his dry.

Hope he will settle into his new position as "only"
 

Jack

 Jack the 20 plus striped cat took a turn for the worse yesterday... He didn't seem to know where he was or how to get up onto the couch When Bob put him on a blanket  on the couch when we went to bed , he was sure Jack would be gone this morning. But no! But he didn't eat anything... Bob took him to the vet for a quality of life check this afternoon and it was decided to put Jack to sleep. The process went painlessly.

We have not recognized that it was time with other pets but this time we did...  Nice to have a picture of him when he was younger!!
