I Love Lucy


My cat, Lucy is:

Old
Demanding
Ancient
Lovable
Getting On
Sweet
Mature
Opinionated
Finely-Aged
Sensitive
Older and Wiser
Part of me

and.....




sick.

Poor Lucy is not feeling well, and doesn't seem to be getting better too quickly! The bounceback from illness doesn't come as easy when you are 21 in cat years.

Get better soon Lucy!

Mom said Lucy wasn't feeling well...That cat has had an amazing run. It will be hard when Lucy isn' around anymore....but, then you can get a couple of crack cats like Weezer!!!!!
Let us know if Lucy needs to come to Viroqua when you guys are in Scotland.

This is the tough part of pets. Remember you have given your pet the best life you could, so you have done well. It still does not make it any easier when dealing with a geriatric pet. Hang in there, the sun will come up tomorrow.

Is Scotland near Ireland???
Hopefully Lucy is feeling a little better. Maybe she was just missing Nate.
Take care,
Love, Mom

I definitely think that is the case, Nanc. I had to strong arm a few pills down her throat, but she didn't throw up and was more demanding than ever last night. I predict a full recovery by the time we leave for Ireland. And if I were a betting man I would say Lucy will live to see at least 28!

and btw, she is so dramatic. This morning she took her pill just fine then more or less induced herself to vomit not once but three times to make sure she spit up the pill... She does what she wants, when she wants.
