Melbcat, my dear familiar girl.

One or two good friends to talk me down.

Melbcat’s results are back and she does have a uti still and it is enterococcus. Vets have finally given in on the antibiotics and agreed to an extended course. I’m hoping it’s ready by tomorrow.

She’s such a trooper. She’s still happily eating, curious about outside, still affectionate… it’s just so hard to get rid of this single issue.

I have walkened and showered

Do you remember that Paul Jennings story Singenpoo

Yeah I tried a boil to bite one and it forced my jaw into a weird strained position

Yeah, personalities change. Stubbornness, even rage. :( It’s really hard. I’m glad you’re getting a break.

Maybe get her one of those comfy hanging egg chairs but somehow suspend it with a luggage scale in the mix? Or hide a weight-remembering scale under her seat cushion? I KID, I KID.

For serious though you may be able to sub in neutral Ensure or protein powder for part or all of the milk powder in cream stew and it might not be noticed. Maybe even add some actual cream and/or cheese right at the end before whizzing it up. Just don’t let her catch you doing it 😏

Dementia support forums might also be really helpful and supportive during this time.

Lucky!

It looks like he’s sulking

I don’t have Shudder or places to find these but I’ll watch a random B grade horror in solidarity!

I wish I could trade, but somehow I don’t think you want this kind of chaos

I’ve been a sad slug today. No walk, no pull downs. Trying to at least do some chores to not fall behind.

That one was interesting. I remember him hiding what happened on the pony ride to school

We sang the song that reminds you of the good times

Oh man that book was painful

Is it the most brain dominating toe tappinating song in the history of the universe?

Ugh. I haven’t been able to find the restavit so my sleep is still kaos
