Journal of Love

It was a difficult week emotionally because we had to take our beloved dog to the vet with a urine sample to check for the possibility of a urinary tract infection. It turns out she may have one since they found bacteria. It is also possible that the urine sample was contaminated, which can happen. She's on an antibiotic for ten days.

Wednesday our cat was not at all himself. We coaxed him to eat. Then he stopped eating on Thursday but the following day he began eating while we pet him and today he ate normally by himself. Whatever got him seems to have left him. Today we are rejoicing that our cat is back to his monster self. Our beloved creatures are woven deeply into our life.

We visited Mary last night and she is lovely as always but a little disoriented by the big changes. This week she moved into a memory-care facility. Everyone loves her and says how sweet she is. I hope she will start to connect with the other residents. It may help her feel better about being there. The place was colorful and had a good vibe.
