Sam is getting better by the day ..but Zack now has conjunctivitis ...! and he is such a baby
thankfully what ever was wronge with Sam hasnt passed ..just the poorly eyes ..which my Vet suspects Sam got easy as he was so ill and week , she told me not to worry he was so young ...he is gaingin weight and comming on in leaps and bounds
.with what ever respiritory illness he had ..he is one lucky kitty and responded really well to TLC and antibiotics
.thankfully its not Catflu ..so far I have been to the Vets 3 times this week and I have to take them both tommorow ....expensive game this Kits ...but worth it
but both kittys are on the mend
my Vet has told me not to worry about my old cat ...as she is most likey imune as she is showing no symptoms
Both have wonderful characters ..they are my pride and joy
Im teaching them to leave wigs and dollys alone !
right now Im off to bathe Zacks eyes ...feed them both ..dye wigs and take those Bracken pictures ...and sneek in a coffee
WIGS ..My hand is much worse ...and I now have symptoms in my other hand ..so I am being careful ...wigs are going out OK ..if a little slower ..but I am starting to stress .....expext a month and if you get them sooner ..its a bonus :)
trying not to get stressed ( I can feel the muscles in my neck ache and I have another headache ) ..but they are all ticking over nicely
growing so fast
tiny Sam
my poor little mite is pooley
I gave him 4 days , like his last vet said ..and he dose look 100 times better ,,,but I was still not happy
although he is much much better his eyes started to glue up again
and he snezzes like anything when I clean them .so I got him into the vet
he has an infection and conjunctivitis ..the Vet also thinks he has got a respiratory infection , although his lungs sound clear he is snufly
vets have told me we have watch him closely , these next couple of days he should improve
but is he stops eating at all he has to be admited as he will need to go on a drip
he has had an antibiotic jab today ..and antibiotic eyecream
and I have to take him back Monday for another injection,
After being given the worse news then she gave me the good news
he hasnt got a temperature , and
the Vet dosnt think he has flu , he hasnt got the mouth ulcers , is eating well and isnt lethargic
and the Vet finding out he was a Maine Coon also checked his heart ..thats fine too
so Im pampering him to pieces ,
Zack should be Ok ..although he may catch the conjunctivitis
...but as he is a strong healthy kitten , he could be Ok
and a Sams infection is through the cut ..Zack cant catch that
I will try and answer mails tommorow ..but I didnt want to leave Sam today
I have to keep a close eye on him , make sure he eats and gets his eyedrops ..so I will sit ..feed him chicken and sew up the Snoinks Im working on for Charles
Ive missed the post today , but Pete is taking them up tommorow
hopefully with the Anti-b`s and cream we will see an improvement tommorow xx
Sam sitting pretty
I love this little boy
comparing him now , to the pictures when he first arrived , I can hardly believe the change ...he has doubled in a week ,I swear he has
he is eating well ..and holding his own with Zack ..although I cant leave them alone yet ..Zack is far too boisterous ..and Zack far too tiny
I miss my Stan so much ..but these 2 make it bearable
UPDATE ON WIGS
The repeat strain in my hand isnt good, BUT , I am being sensible and timeing myself working
so I am getting the orders out ..only a little later than normal
Post is being sent FRIDAY and Tuesday
NO DELAYS at the momment ..it takes between 2 and 3 weeks to ship
Sam comes home
Ok I am running about a week to 2 behind ...I have a lot of pain in my left wrist due to "Tendon " inflammation
Im on drugs ..and pain killers and have to see a Physio ...but at least I can use it again
I am still working ...but I have to be careful and not overdo it ...and no knitting or crochet ..that makes it much much worse
Its a beautiful day ..and I marvelled at the colours when we went out
blue blue sky and green fields and the yellow of the rapeseed flowers ..its just been a perfect day ...Oh yeah paid for my mew Mini Riz too ..I just had to have another ..love the tan one
well we went to collect Sam today , and here is is
Zack jumped on him straight away ..and we are having to be watchful ..Zack will be 10 weeks Tuesday and he is HUGE next to tiny Sam ,
Sam is timid and so far much quieter ...Maddie has taken to him straight away
She has really surprised me ..she has gone so loving since Stan passed
Pete made an amazing wire screen to put up the french doors, so we can have some air as its so hot ... the sun shone in . the cats all lay in it ..we had ice lolly and the foot ball droned away in the back ground ...and its is beautiful
a far cry form how lousy the beginning of the month was
Zack
Im trying to get a picture ,of Zack ..that is him ..his personality ...this sums him up!
I get the camera and he charges at me
Yesterday he learnt how to growl ...today he was spitting ...whilst skidding up and down my kitchen , playing
I had to take him to the Vets today , he has a pooly tummy , bless him
Vets given him the once over ..and thinks its just the change of food and worms ..so he has been de-wormed ..sprays for fleas and now he is sleeping
cant believe how much he has grwon in a few days
Zack comes home 17 May 2009
Production is at an all time low this weekend
when I could go get my Zack ...a week early than I thought
but I am so inlove with my little boy
he loves hands and toes ..so I am trying to teach him now to play with ribbon and a mouse that squeeks ...so far its working ...and he loves cuddles
so he is actually getting me to sit and relax a little ...
I miss my old Stan so much ...Zack is certainly keeping us all on our toes ..now to dye some wigs whilst he is asleep
Zack ...
Zackhe has always said when STAN went I couldn't have another cat ...but I feel as though Im missing something ...Maddie and I have go closer ..she has always been Rosies cat ...but I guess were both missing Stan ,
so Pete told me to go ahead and start looking ..but I couldn't have a black one ...so I dug in my heals ...and this is Zack ..his full name ..Zachary Binks
he isnt old enough yet ...but he is 6 week old Maine Coone x
and a handfull ...
I cant believe he is mine ...Im dreading it ..in a way ..he loves running up legs !
I have to kitty proof the house ...and get little tray and close all the windows for a while ..
he wont be home for a few weeks yet ..and I cant wait
Imp ..my red bracken
Im so glad he has arrived ..I LOVE this boy
the reed is gorgeous ..love the girls too ...but Bracken is so HOT ! red
I had the tiny brownie arrive last week and Ippo today ...so Im going to take some pictures ....it will take my mind of Stan a bit
its so lonely without him in the say ...
Maddie is still sulking about ..she keeps looking for him ..and wont eat
sigh ...
lousy week
we had a wonderful time in Hey ..when I came home Stan was sulking ..he hated me going away ..always did ...over the next week we noticed him getting slower and slower ..untill he didnt have the energy to walk ...or eat ...the same time ..I had a HUGE Bobobie Bill topay ..all my limmited editions to pay for ...and Lloyds ..bless them ...I hope they fester ..decided I didnt need an overdraft on my new bussiness account ..this is AFTER the interview at my local branch were they promised me the earth and more ...if I didnt use my PayPal and credit card and went with them ...now they tell me ..when I have a monster bill ..and another due in a few weeks ..I couldnt have a bloody overdraft
this is after waiting 3 weeks for a return phone call ....so they called to tell me after I had settled my bill ...by selling my soul and wacking up my Card ....
So I told them ...to stick their account ...NEVER take their advice ...still angry ..still smarting and very broke ..my Cat went down hill ...so with the last of our Holiday money ...I got Stan to the Vets May 1st .....
its still to painfull ..and too raw ...but an hour later ..they called me with the worse news ever
they had found he had a huge shadow in his lungs ...and blood tests had confirmed the worse ...I dashed up to him ..and gave the consent ..he died in my arms ...and my heart broke
I bought him home ...when I walked into the front door the phone rang ...and it was UPS ...with a £150.00 Import charge ...I dont think the poor girl knew what was going on ...I broke down in tears ...appologised ,she has to wait 5 mins untill I stopped crying ....
what a bloody shit day ...
I got the post out on the Saturday ...its Rosies birthday today ...
I never thought I could feel this sad over a Pet , but Stan was my shadow ..and Im missing him so much
Maddie is pineing ...she is my other cat ...but very much my daughters ...and its horrible :(
Moona
I think I may have just finished the washing from when we went away the weekend ...what a lovely break ..,we bought a gorgeous porcelain roses chandelier for our next project
we have quite a nice downstairs extension which is a big shower ..so that's all being ripped out ..and french doors put into the garden ...and its going to be a breakfast room ...we got a lovely little old pine farmhouse table and matching chairs ...and I have been buying the old Crinoline lady tableware ..I cant wait ,,its the only room in the house that has the sun on it all day ..and It going to brighten and warm up the whole kitchen ....
then the upstairs bathroom is going to be ripped out ..and the new toilet ..which is living under my dining room table ..and the shower ...in the garage ..is going to be installed
THEN ,,,and I knew it would get around to work ...then Pete is installing a downstairs loo ,,in the Garage ..with the tumble dryer and washer ...and a BIG BIG sink and draining board ..so I can keep the fur ..outside the house ..the family arnt too keen in it turning up in the meals ..and the dye all over the kitchen tops ,...personally I cant see a problem LOL
then the house should be finished !
on a wigs note ..I'm up todate..but I'm starting to run dangerously short of Blond and Ginger Nut ...
the demand is huge ...I have got through 6 months of materials in the first 3 months of the year ..and thats in blonde and white alone
and every day there are more ...Im thrilled to bits ...and now I have given up teaching but my 1 class I can get the wigs out in about 2 weeks ..but its taken me since Christmas to get organised
and the dolls are on the way ...a HUGE amount of stock .. including the tiny Bracken, Mina and Moona in red resin ...I cant wait to see those ! Im trying to get enough stock in so there wont be a wait when anyone wants to order
Camera is on charge ..and I cant wait to see them!
snap shot driving back
I just wrote a big long post and bloody deleted it !
Bugger
