The Things You do for Love

Sure, he's just a cat, but when we were willing to spend $950 to cure his hyperthyroidism, what does it cost us to send me home using sky miles to help him find his rest. I talked to the specialist early last week. The x-rays showed growths throughout his lungs and a bone tumor on his rear leg. Cancer has taken members of my family before. You just don't think about it in cats. My friends had a cat that died of cancer. He was a younger cat. But my cats had always been healthy. I don't believe we would have spotted it any earlier if we had been there. It is what it is.

So spending almost 4 months abroad, tomorrow I get to go home. I'll have a full day to spend with my beloved cat and then I'll take him in and have him put to sleep. Then he gets one more trip and is laid to rest with all the other pets I've lost in my life. Then I'll spend some time with my family who I won't see for another 6 months.

I'm definitely getting either Denny's or Applebee's boneless buffalo wings and steak probably from Off the Grill. I have no intentions of leaving my house except for runs for food and essentials from Target, but if anyone wants to visit, they're more than welcome to come over. I'll have to stock up on tea and biscuits and lots and lots of chocolate. The home phone number is still connected if you want to reach me.
