We're fortunate this year, hope we can do this again.....


 
 
Last year when we celebrated Kitty’s 17th Birthday, we were afraid that it could be the last one. Thank God, we made it through 2012. It sure was a rough and tough year. Kitty’s kidney condition was largely stable, as she is a good girl, and accepts renal food. However, her health condition had weakened, partly due to ageing. She is often being confronted with mouth ulcers, ruining her appetite and those “breast lumps” are recurring at a faster pace because of her weak defense system.

This year, we took the chance and continue to celebrate her birthday with KFC, her favorite food, but as you could see, it’s Goldie who seems to be enjoying it more. Unfortunately after the recent operation in last October, we found another breast lump. Lately, the vet’s advice had totally changed. He is against surgery, on the consideration of Kitty’s age and the high risk of recurrence. Unfortunately, we have that thought too, though I would still keep an open mind on the issue. My heartaches and …. What a useless me!!

The clock is ticking against us. In the meantime, we would concentrate on keeping her kidney condition stable and take her for regular acupuncture for which she enjoys. We would try our best to lead a normal life with the hope that Kitty could continue to enjoy her time with us in a peaceful, warm, loving, happy and relaxed way…… Take care my girl, please do not give up, but if you are really tired, do let us know. We sure would treasure the moments together, and give it our very best effort to make it a painless and memorable one…. May the Lord guide us, guard us and lead us through the time ahead…
