We sold the place... it didn't go well, but it's over, and we won't have to carry two places, so I guess it'll be OK.
Went to Alberta for my cousins wedding last month (her wedding was September 16th).
The wedding went well... it was SO cold and wet out there though. It almost never stopped raining. Yeesh! My cousin was resplendant, and Kevin was smitten with his new bride. We had fun visiting and I got to help my mom with flowers. It was a long drive there and back though, and don't want to have to do that too often. :P
It was really good to see everyone again, and get some visiting done, but there was some bad news too. Apparently my cat got into something that made her sick... possibly got poisened by something, and so she quit eating, and my mom was gone for a week, visiting her friend, and when she got back, Sorka had lost alot of weight... because she hadn't been eating or drinking for a while, 'cause she felt sick, Sorka was in danger of liver failure, and we had to get used to the fact that she might not recover. She's was taken to the clinic after we left, but there was not much they could do. My mom tried to feed her and we gave her some fluids while I was there, and the clinic gave her some, but unless she had started eating and drinking on her own again, she was doomed. She's wasn't in pain, just feeling sick, like you would with a bad flu... you don't feel like eating, or moving much... you just want to be still and quiet and rest... so that's what she did for a week after we left, and my mom tried to convince her to get better, but didn't want to stress her either. But she didn't get better, and just got more toxic and more toxic, from liver failure and her body burning up fat without a way to flush it out of the system... so the friday before we moved (September 29th) my mom took her in and had her put down, by our former vet tech Fiona, before my mom headed back to China. That was rough on the whole family... Sorka was born on our farm, and had been a part of the family for 8-10 years. Mookie, the other cat, was looking for her for a while after she was gone...... So I had to deal with that and the move all in one weekend. Not fun. Oh well.....
In remembrance of Sorka (ba dorka) Gale ~ Beloved cat... pet, friend and head of the household.And now for the new house and new job, etc....
