I’m sitting here with Miz Jazz in my lap, and we are both watching the other three cats tear back and forth through the house. Guido is the oldest of the three, and he seemed to be winning at first. Then Miss Lucy got into it, and Guido dropped out somewhere. Now Theo is running…

I just realized that I haven’t updated y’all about Miz Jazz’s progress. She’s doing pretty good! The vet decided that the best course of action was to start with her teeth. She extracted four teeth – leaving her with only four teeth including two fangs. Jazz had broken two teeth and two teeth were badly…

First, a Miz Jazz report. I forgot about her possible hyperthyroidism. The vet probably missed it when she was talking to us. It may be a good thing in a way because it would keep her appetite up. The fluids absolutely definitely help and I’m glad that Sandy was talked into it. He was basing…

Miss Jazz saw Dr. Hunt this morning. We both needed to be reassured that it was time to let her go. She didn’t seem ready to die. We asked Dr. Hunt to tell us why we needed to do it again. Dr. Hunt said that she remembered seeing her when she was last in (she…

Angst alert – there will be much of it in today’s post. I just fired up another pot of coffee. Sandy scheduled an appointment at the vet for Miss Jazz’s euthanasia at 10:30 this morning. It is now 8:00. Yesterday and the night before I moaned and cried because I was so sure of the…

“Hmm, passes the crunch test, but not very tasty.” “Looks good, I’d say go with it.” “I’m taking this piece of lettuce back to the lab for analysis.”

We decided that this big fella, whose sunbathing was captured by Sandy as we drove home Sunday from Lake Waccamaw, was blogworthy.

What are these flowers called? They are my favorite flowers and must be an old-fashioned favorite because you see them in the yards of old houses around here. Theo is mesmerized by the sparrow cheeping just outside the window. He just realized in the past couple of weeks that there is an real outside out…

Miss Jazz is hanging out on Sandy’s lap as usual… Theo and I are playing with the camera. I have not changed out of my pajamas or brushed my hair today. I made my bread dough in the bread machine and let it rise, shaped it, and baked it in the oven. I’ll make cauliflower…
