  1. Even though it is technically the next day now, I post when I get the opportunity. Yesterday (Friday) I had an in-depth conversation with Cheri's mom. She spoke with the NY vet, who spoke with the PA vet and consulted on Velvet's new medication regime and the current records were faxed and reviewed. Both concur and agree that she is getting the proper meds now including the antiboitic and the tummy med. Daily subq fluids are now in the mix too. I was instructed on how to use them and given a weeks supply. Velvet fought with me putting her in the carrier which was a great sign! She has put on 2oz since last visit and is getting very fiesty. All signs point to a full recovery and lots of sunshine, smiles, and happy dancing!

    All roads now lead to the wonderful reunion party on 2/28! Anyone who can make the party, please drop me an e-mail so I can give you directions on how to get here. I'm so looking forward too this day! While I will miss the girls very much, it will be wonderful to see this whole wild ride come full circle and I would love to share this with all of you as well. We did this amazing thing together litter mates and we should all take a bow! I've always said that while I can stand on my own to acomplish any task, but I stand stronger when I have my loving family standing with me!

    Lets keep this bumped till monday when the weekday crew can check in, I look forward to the party plans!

  2. Deb I think what you have done is absolutely incredible and you deserve a lot of credit for it. You have done more than a lot of people do for their own family. It does my heart good to know there are people like you around. The world is definitely a better place.

    I am sorry I am too far away for the reunion but I do hope you have a camera handy. I want to see lots of pictures please.

  5. I am sooooo pleased Velvet is putting on weight and that the vets agree on her treatment. Well done, Debs. I'll be there in spirit for the reunion, but it's a bit far to get there in fact.

  6. Glad to hear that Velvet is getting back to being her fiesty self. I've given Sub-Q fluids many times and as you will see it is not too hard. Just don't laugh at Velvet's "hump" after she gets her fluids! It does make them look a little funny, but it surely makes them feel better. I will add to the "please takes lots of pictures" request.

  9. Good morning! What a wonderful morning it is. Our Velvet is doing so great! I cooked a turkey on Saturday and I think she thought I did it just for her........well, maybe I did! In any event she is spending lots of time now roaming like she used to, looking for attention and lots of treats. She is shining like a new penny! I had to forwarn Cheri that she will be getting back one very spoiled little girl. I've also been spending extra time with our Spicy girl as she seems to be feeling left out with Velvet getting so much extra attention right now. Thank goodness both girls are doing very well. I think they know something is up with the excetement in the air with the upcoming party plans buzzing all around now. We are going to have the greatest time on the 28th.

  14. Hooray for Velvet! That must have been pretty scary for you, Deb. I'm glad she is doing so much better.

  15. Yes, it will be very bittersweet for me. While I am looking forward to Cheri having her girls and her life back, I will miss these special little girls. I have grown very attached to them. My zoo crew on the other hand will be thrilled to see them go. Try as they might, Velvet & Spice want nothing to do with my crew. Spice won't let any of my crew on my bed as she has claimed it for herself. She will let Velvet on but that is it. The only one of my crew now getting on the bed is Milo. He looks at Spice while she is hissing and spitting at him like "Hey, your old news, get over yourself"! Thats my Milo!

  16. Milo will be one very happy kitty in a few weeks! Velvet and Spice will be very happy too.
