This one is one of my favorites of this series right now. Just adore it.

Forgot to do one critical task yesterday, due to rushing Pumpkin to the 24 Hr. emergency vet. The Mouse came running out around 2 pm or so to tell me that he had red liquid running from his nose. I go in and poor Pumpkin's nose was just blood.

Didn't wait. Grabbed him, had the husband call his mom, shoved him in one of the crates and drove.

We think it's just a chronic sinus infection, but the frank truth is, he's too small to do a blood draw on. He only weighs 1.14 pounds, compared to his brothers who are easily three times his size. The vet confirmed that he is just a straight up failure to thrive and if he doesn't start putting on weight and very soon... Well, let's just say that the hideous conversation was started and words like congenital difficulties, FIP, FLV, among others were used.

We're dosing with antibiotics and giving him maximum caloric food and I'm not thinking about those things. I'm just NOT.

And other horrible things are running around my head too. The brutality of this economy hits me on an almost daily basis.

And in this, I got incredible news that sent me over the moon, before it got squashed by not crying in the car, driving a tiny kitten to the vet.

Prayers, wishes, donations for the expensive max cal cat food, Reiki (seriously), anything are all incredibly appreciated. Pumpkin is dear to us. I'm not giving him up without a fight. I'm NOT.

And along with the news that sent me over the moon, the project continues to go. You guys are awesome. 16%. 84% to go. *gets behind it and pushes*
