Secret Sister
At church, instead of Secret Pals, we have Secret Sisters. My secret sister didn’t really do much early in the year, but she’s been spot on for a while now. I was also sadly negligent to my secret sister in the beginning because I mis-placed the sheet of paper, so I have no ill will toward the one with my name in her pocket.
For my birthday, this secret sister gave me an incredible gift! I not only adore cats, but also the artist Charles Wysocki. He created fun cat art and many other enchanting paintings over his career. Yet, I am highly doubtful my secret sister knows this. I don’t hide my appreciation of cats, so that part of the gift might be expected. I was truly delighted to find the two together: Wysocki and a cat. Hmmmm…. who is this sensational sister?!?!
Even my deary appreciates such a fun gift! Thank you, secret sister!
Recovery
These lovely ladies had a difficult day. After the one lost a canine tooth recently, I felt it was long past due for a dental cleaning.
They were not pleased when bedtime came and the water was removed and no meal was offered. They spent the night continuing the check their dishes in shock that they were empty. How could someone who loves them leave them empty? Then this morning there was much crying from the moment they were zipped into carriers until we reached the office of the vet. I finally stopped when I got to work.
I was a nervous Nelly all day. I want nothing but the best for them, and I fear them picking something up from the other patients at the vet. People do it in hospitals, and it can happen to pets at the vet too.
Fortunately, they did great! Only one tooth needed pulling and their blood panel was amazingly good for their age. The vet explained how it all went to me when I picked them up. After some stumbling around tonight and slowly deciding it was okay to eat with those aching jaws, they are content little ladies this evening.
I do have to admit that it was cute to watch them walk on unsteady feet from the anesthesia, which had not yet worn off. But not cute enough to take photos. They deserve some privacy during recovery.
Moral of the Story: Sometimes we do things we don’t like for the benefit of those we love. And visits to the dentist are NOT something I enjoy either!
360 Degrees
Sometimes, what you need to see is behind you, beside you, or over you. Don’t forget to take a spin around and look up and down to see all there is to see. You will usually be all the better for it.
Just look at this gorgeous picture I was able to capture when this little lady turned around to inspect her environment. She knows where we all are at any time, and she even knows when someone is coming to our front door before they get there.
Moral of the Story: If you turn around, you may know things that others miss out on.
The Care Giver
Yet again with the nasty migraines. Today was another dreadful one, but I had help getting through.
This little Miss saw me through. She put her paw on my cheek now and again and licked my forehead, I believe to make sure I didn’t also have a fever. She is such a good care giver!
Moral of the Story: No matter how bad you feel or how sick you might get, someone wants you well.
