And there is sun!! Though it is only supposed to last another hour or so, boooo. Longer days do me no good when there is all this cloud cover, dammit. I do at least have some sunshine in a vase - so love that I can get sunflowers right at the grocery store. (I am old enough to remember when grocery stores didn't have floral departments.)
We'll be doing our usual brunch and of course I made up Easter baskets because I am an overgrown kid who is a sucker for candy in shiny pastel wrappers. And it wouldn't be Easter without the Easter Lily!
An oldie but a goodie for Easter.
The vet did confirm that the growth in her mouth is a carcinoma, which sucks, but I have been preparing myself for it. I've looked at what we can do (there is no cure) and honestly, the ratio of trauma to extra time would be too much to put her through, so she's on comfort care. Though the vet said he'd not been able to remove it all, he did a damn fine job, because right now, she's doing great. Eating well, happy, and getting on with a half of a gabapentin a day. The vet said as time goes on, we can get stronger pain management if needed, but for now, we've got a good routine going and she's gonna be spoiled rotten for the rest of her days - which is basically like any other day for her.
We've had almost 15 years with this awesome, wonderful, amazing cat, and though no amount of time is enough - the very least I can do is spare her more trips to the vet and let her live out whatever time she has left at home with good meds and tons of love.
So, it's sad, but I feel good that I can make sure she's content and pain free in whatever time she has left.
Go hug your pets.
