11 Mondays 11 weeks ago, we let you go.   Much has changed in those 11 weeks.   And every Monday, at 8:30, time stops, and I see your sweet face, and I feel your fur under my hands, and I whisper … Continue reading →

We picked up Max’s ashes this morning.   I expected to fall completely apart – that happens on a regular basis these days.    Strangely,  I didn’t.   I cried in the car, as Bear held the bag with the two boxes … Continue reading →

Bittersweet and melancholy

Posted on August 21, 2016 by suziecreamcheese

Fourteen years ago I moved to Pennsylvania, leaving behind my entire family.   Most of them didn’t care, and some of them did.   I went back a few times, once a year, for the first few years.  Then life … Continue reading →

I’m a sucker

Posted on May 20, 2016 by suziecreamcheese

Or maybe just a softie.   I’m ruining my reputation.   Sigh Yesterday my husband told me that a cat had been sleeping on the septic cover.   He said, “she looks hungry, but we’re not keeping her.” Last night, … Continue reading →

Cold, damp, ouch

Posted on July 12, 2013 by suziecreamcheese

The good thing about it raining all day is that I don’t have to water the garden. The bad thing is that the damp is making my bones ache – chondritis is not my friend. Chondritis isn’t anyone’s friend! Got … Continue reading →

Max’s lump

Posted on March 19, 2013 by suziecreamcheese

Last week I found a lump under Max’s front right armpit, more on the chest area. Immediate panic set in. I called the vet in the morning, made an appointment. I was taking him to the groomer that day, so … Continue reading →

This and that and then the other

Posted on March 12, 2013 by suziecreamcheese

The groomer is 99% positive it’s a lipoma, but I called the vet anyway.  Can’t hurt to be sure.   He’s very tired now, getting groomed takes a lot out of him.   And we’ve been busy since last Wednesday, … Continue reading →

Posted on March 11, 2013 by suziecreamcheese
