We had to put our cat Ben down. He had gotten sick in the spring- what seemed like the flu- and we were just about to take him into the vet when he got better. He started eating again and was back to his "old" self. But then a month or so later he seemed to be drinking alot and we suspected he had diabetes.In the end, we found out he did have diabetes, but seemingly as a result of a virus that had attacked his pancreas. His kidneys and liver had also been affected as a result and so there really were no options. It was heartbreaking and with the decision to put him down came the guilt of wondering what would have been the result if we would have taken him in way back in spring.
Ben was a wonderful cat- very gentle and patient and loving. We rescued him from the Humane Society before we were even married- and he led a full and happy life. Still, even though he was a "grandpa" and we knew his time would come, it was so very hard to let him go. We miss him.
We've had some fun days at the beach- playing in the sand- what could be better?
This is my June CMP ATC- the theme was "Ingredients" which was very tough. But in the end, I thought about this sock yarn I've been knitting with- it's so soft and I love the fact that it's got Chitin in it. So I decided to use that as my inspiration.
I managed to finish piecing a quilt I started, like, over 6 years ago. It's all put together but needs the borders. Haven't been able to do as much quilting as I'd like because my Bernina's in the shop for cleaning and maintenance.
Luckily I still have my Kenmore, so I have been able to finish some sewing projects.
