4th Day of Thanksgiving

I have a feeling I'll be going back and forth between #th Day of and T-Minus. I like them both.

Today I'm thankful for our pets. We've had many cats and dogs since we've been married, and I've loved them all quite unreasonably. Right now we're fortunate enough to have two dogs who are both happy all the time, and three cats. The cats are quirky and have tons of personality and, for the most part, demand attention. (No aloof cats at our house. Ever.)


Biddy, though, is sick. Very sick. We're waiting on results of her bloodwork to see what's going on, and what we can do about it, but she's very sick. Say a prayer for her, okay? (I know some people think that's silly. I won't tell you what I think of those people, and that's really very virtuous of me. Maybe even Christian.)

So all of them, since they're here for me to love with all my heart. And I do. But especially Biddy, right now. Please help me worry about and pray for her!

  1. Prayers going out to Biddy. I hope she will feel better soon.

  2. It turns out that her problem is a kidney infection that's apparently been building for a while. The vet will be treating her pretty aggressively with antibiotics and fluids, and we're hoping for the best in terms of resulting kidney damage (as in none). But she's already acting like she's not feeling as terrible as she was — coming out from under the bed, asking to be petted — and that's a great thing! So today I'm thankful for that!
