Hi Girls,

Oh my, The Old Guy is not doing very well!    He has, for the last two days, barely been moving. He just lays on the couch and I bring his food to him and he only jumps off when he needs the LitterMaid!

He is not loosing weight and he was checked by the vet, nothing wrong, but he seems to be even older than we originally thought, not 10 or 11, more like 16-17 years.I have no idea how the Docs can tell this but apparently, teeth and bone structure tells the story,I mean, we all know THAT. He Purrrrrrrrrrrs all the time, and as y'all know, it can also mean distress, but nothing is hurting! I think he is just feeling safe and happy, lounging around, being loved and cared for! And he loves the fact that he does not have to go far for water or to peepee. His leggs are very stiff and wobbly..... arthritis! Poor little Guy! It is hard for him to walk

Huggs, Mari.

Oh Brandy,
Hon, you said what I was thinking! You are right! I know, but it will hurt when he cross over. At least, again, I know, his last days were happy, secure and he was very, very, loved :!:
 Did you find the other Persians avoiding Butter before he passed? I am having that now, it is as if no one comes close to him and there is no running and jumping!  There is always somebody playing or chasing a toy or just being busy, but all the kids are very subdued for now!

What do you think?
Huggs, Mari.

Brandy,

I think that is happening here. I just picked him up and he is sitting on my lap, normally I have a brigade round me, but it is only the two of us at the computor. Lucky Charm is on his coach with his head under a pillow :!:

I do not want my OLD Guy, Sir Lancelot to leave just yet! I need to spend more time with him! You know, Jazzy was the first, adult, Persian I lost since 1994, when my Odd eyed Presious passed!

Huggs, Mari.

Dear Brandy,

It nearly kills me, every time I receive a broken, sick, mistreated Persian. It takes time and lots of love to get then to be the Beautifull Persians they are, I can take them to a point, and they are happy living with me, but then comes adoption, and we start again, not as bad as when I got them, but they still need SPECIAL people, people, like Vanessa and Geoff and my beautifull Katie.  Devoted, loving, caring and understanding people! They go the extra mile, nothing will stop them.

I keep the sick and old Persians, I have to go through the pain of loosing them, but, at least, I have not passed that pain onto a Persian lover, who adopted a companion, only to loose them after a short time! That is cruel and terrible! I have a problem with the rescue group, they do not share my code of conduct! Tough! I am not a sheister,I love and respect the Persian Breed far too much, to ever sinc to those levels!

Ooooh dear, there I go again! Sorry!
I am gratefull that God allows me to take care of these little ones, HE trust me with them, that is the biggest reward ever!
Huggs, Mari.

Mari, sending you big hugs, what a difficult
path you are on.  I know that all of your resuces
will appreciate that even in their golden
years they were loved and had the very
best of care.

Girls, you all know how I believe in Prayer and good thoughts  You did it again :!:  The Old Sir Lancelot, is doing Great, even chasing the lazer light! Can you believe that :?:  :lol:  maybe he was just having a bit of a bad time, but he is doing so well :!:  He is gaining weight amd begged a piece of cold turkey today.... a first and good thing!

Must say, Katmandu, my beautifull HUGE Fluff, just jumps up on the couch and sits next to him, so cute, kind of, OK, Uncle, I'll help you Isn't that sweet :!: Mind you, Kat is about 4 times his size, maybe, the old boy desided to start moving before Kat lands ..on top.. of him...ouch. :!: Kat's kitty psychology :!:  :lol: Move your butt ...orrrrr...:lol:

As always, thank you so very much for the love and understanding!

Bigg Huggs,
Mari and all the Florida Fluffs  :!:  

  Mari, ek is so bly dit gaan beter.


(So glad it is going better for Sir Lancelot!)
