Thank you all for sharing your babies with us! Love the puppers and kitties, but sorry, Norest4thewicked, snakes and spiders are not faves of mine. Wonderful and good for you, though, to Love them as you do! Good Daddy! :-)
Let's see what I can share here:
The Siamese girl is Meri
The all black girl talking is Maggie Mae, her sister
The handsome tux boy is Ringo
The pretty black girl is Roxy
The handsome orange boy is Mickey
The cutie gray boy is Monk
The black silky boy is Shane
Meri, Maggie, Ringo and Roxy have all transitioned within the last 5 years, and not a day goes by that I don't miss them, and talk with them. I dream of them from time to time and consider those to be visitations, so I always welcome that!
The three boys who are still with us are all in their teens now, Mickey is the youngest but we're not sure exactly how old he is, 13 now I think. Shane will be 15 in March, and Monk is the oldest at 19 this spring. I think he's getting a touch of dementia as he's taken to howling at nothing any time of the day or night. I'm not sure how much longer he'll be with us, I think he's just starting to fail a bit lately.
But it's Shane, my boy, I'm most concerned about. He's been my sole reason for still being here as these last years have gotten so bad for me. I'm looking to rehome him but I'm so conflicted about it. Today, I went to check out a place I'd called, a kind of sanctuary for sick elderly kitties, but I have some serious qualms about the place, so I don't know if I'll bring him there after all. But bringing him to a shelter, even for a short time just fills me with such dread. Even with my intent to be with him in spirit after I ctb, I just hate the idea of him being in a place like that. And being an older CKD kitty with one eye doesn't make him the most desirable of kitties for most people, so he could be in the shelter for a long time, maybe even the rest of his life. He'd never get to even see outside again, unless they take him out for a bit. I suppose I could ask if they do that, it would relieve me a little. I can't leave him here with husband as he's threatened to kill him twice (for no good reason, of course), not that he ever really would, but I wouldn't take any chances with my baby's life. And with his hatred of me these days, maybe he would kill Shane out of spite and resentment when he realizes I ctb'd and lay the blame at his feet. So, no, can't leave Shane here, that's for sure. If anyone has any suggestions here, please do share with me. I'm kinda getting desperate and crazed about what I'm going to do for my baby. Thanks! :-) Peace.
