I had to have my Gypsy put to sleep yesterday. She started getting sick May 23rd and after many many trips to 2 different vets and lots of $$$$'s and no really clear answers, it had to be done. The very nice doctor who handled everything told me that it was FIP (feline intestinal peritonitis) which there is no cure for. Apparently cats with really healthy immune systems are able to fight off the corona virus, which is the virus that causes fip.
I really will miss this cat. We connected more that I ever have with any other animal in my life. She was a great comfort to me when my Dad died and she was very calming when she would sit on my lap and purr. She was also a mess...very, very ornery. I don't think I'll be getting another cat for quite some time. Plus there's always Baron (the dog) to pet.
My friends Sharon and Kathy and I took off and had a really good day. We went to several quilt shops (no big purchases), had lunch at Schlotsky's and ended up at Sam's. I was dreading coming home because I knew that I'd have to take care of getting all of the cat stuff picked up and taken care of, but my sweet, sweet hubby had done it all. He even had flowers waiting for me. He really is a sweet guy!
Today will be a good and busy day. After work I'm going to try and get borders on a new fall quilt that I'm working on....woohoo! I'll post pics before I take it to the quilters.
