THE THREAD!!!

Thanks for all the good wishes Brothers. Since there are so many pet owners, vets and their hangers on I'll share the outcome. My cat had been suffering from reduced kidney function for about a year. We treated this with frequent sub cu Normasol injections. This last round with the vets added a heart murmur that was identified as Hypertrophic Myopathy. The kidney showed deformation and stones were found. Given all this we helped our old friend into Cat Valhalla. At the moment I am at peace and toasting my friend with a dram of single malt.


My wife (who lurks The Thread) and I thank you all for allowing us to share.

John,

Sounds like you both did the right thing. Old cats with kidney disease are one thing. Old cats with simultaneous kidney disease AND additive heart disease are quite another. Basically, the treatment for the one is counterproductive for the other problem. We've had two cats with these classic 'old cat diseases'. It's a fast spiral down for them when they can no longer compensate.[:(]

Appreciate the nice comment about our profession too. Thanks for the kind words.

A just under the wire morning tithe, gentlemen. [8D]

[Chickenboy]

Wonder how Steve's weekend is going? [;)]

A very leisurely morning , ebelskievers and coffee ala fresco on our patio, watching the wild life and air show planes go by. Then champagne and kirs. More airplanes. A "Zero" (one of the Tora,Tora,Tora converts) a TBF (real low level) a C-130, a flight of six T-28's, an OV-10a, a low level B-25, and in the distance chasing a AT-6 was the P-38. Even my wife I'd that one (It and the SR-71 are her favorite planes). A biplane towing a glider and several "new" biplanes have also made their appearances. No jets yet. Tomorrow the air show up front. I'll try and get photo's.

This afternoon, spending money (shopping in the "Old Market") and trying to find a good sushi restaurant 1200 miles from ocean! [X(][:D]

I rarely play the American side in games. I prefer playing the bad guys.

So you would play the Brits? [&:]






ETA: KIDDING!

[:D] Not at Kasserine, no...I would play the Germans.

In Market Garden too.....

I did like playing the Amis in Victory Games Vietnam. What a great game....too bad it is so hard to find opponents.

I loved that game.

And I sent one back

In that case, it's not arrived. The last one I've got was sent on the 27th at 1700. It's not in my junk folder either.
