I've been struggling, managing, but today there is no drop or gel that is allowing my eyes the slightest relief. Almost completed the tree, I chose DMC 22 for the berries/apples, but the rest will have to wait. Of course the errors I chose not to correct have trickled down, but wonky branches and long legged figures hide them well.
I appreciate all the suggestions and information you've been offering for Budman. The other vet is just so swamped with patients and does surgeries two days a week. They may allow a visit on one of those days, and are trying to squeeze him in. He is still losing, sometimes succeeding in eating soft pate food, and believing he remains ruler of the brat pack. The vet warned us of the pain and suffering that could come quickly with a failing heart. I certainly do not want this, and Bud deserves to leave in peace. Several times we witnessed him going in tight circles, seeming as if he is confused which the vet said may be small strokes. Another one today, so we need to have a realistic conversation with both vets.
I hope you had a nice end to January.
Seeing any winter month leave is a cause for celebration.
Thanks for visiting.

in my community we have a hospice vet who will come to your home and help you, our hospice vet gave our cat another good seven months before it was time to say good bye, I hope you and Bud can get some help quickly

Marly: I am so sorry, poor Bud and my heart goes out to you and your husband.
I hope Bud is not suffering.
Love the Sampler so pretty.
Good luck on the eye drops, I cannot imagine how hard it must be to have to do drops.

So very to hear about poor Bud. It is so hard to watch an animal that is ill. Even with your eye problems , that sampler looks very good to me!
Poor Budman. Sending him pug hugs ;-)
I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
Thinking of you as well as Bud and wish the news all around was better. I think your sampler is really looking super in spite of what you think might be off -- makes it truly yours! keep it up!!!! Look forward to your blogs as always :)
Wishing for you and Bud better tomorrows. Sometimes life really stinks. Ok...most times. ~Robin~
It is so hard to see them unwell. It's a tough decision no matter what. Hope eyes are better tomorrow.

Letting go of our pets is one of the hardest things we have to do. We certainly don't want them to suffer. We don't know how they are feeling. Praying for you and Mark to have the strength to do what needs to be done for sweet "Budman". I know it's a heartbreaking decision. God bless you for the good care you've given Bud and all of the kitties in your lives.
Looking forward to a nice warm day. I know you are too.
So sorry about your eyes....I'm in a similar situation......Stitching would be much more enjoyable if this problem didn't exist.
Take care, dear friend.

I'm so sorry to see how much you suffer and that it prevents you from doing something that brings you joy. I hope that the sun will shine soon this week and that you and your sweet Budman are comfortable.
I am so sorry that your eyes are giving you so much trouble. I hope that both you and Budman can get some relief.
I feel so badly for you about Budman. Had to put my 21 (poss 22) year old cat down in November - the arthritis got so bad I just had to face facts that it was no kindness to keep him going any more. It is always so hard... Here's hoping you can get into the vet's soon. Be good to you...
Hope you eyes feel or get better soon, it must be frustrating. I get cranky when my glasses need cleaning! Bud will be one of the most difficult decisions you have to make, but you will know when it is time . We pet owners have done it before it is never easy but it is right. Take care .
Between your eye issues and watching Budman fail, you must be feeling frustrated and defeated, Marly. I sure hope some good news comes your way soon--sending a hug ♥
Marly dear you are surrounded by love and prayers as you meet the many challenges you face.You will know when Bud's look at you tells you to
let him rest from his struggle and with love and determination,you will
find the strength to allow him to be released. Cannot think of a better
place than with you and Mark, but there is that glorious place where he
can live freely and happily once again and I believe you will find the generosity and courage to gift it to him.
Marly, we love our furrbabies so much, I too have had to make that decision. It is gut-wrenching. As long as he is eating some, enjoying sitting and being with you, then he is enjoying his day. Glad he is home with his family. Your sampler is lovely and with your eye issues, that you are stitching is amazing. Wishing you all comfort.
Hoping the Little Bud gets better !
Praying and Wishing for a Miracle.
One never knows.
