It is a miracle and a special message for you and
all who hear it. Would you rather have a little while feeling wonderful or
eternity feeling miserable? I know which I would chose.
If you have men who will exclude any of God's
creatures
from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their fellow
man.

(was my vet's office called)
Thank you Beth and everyone that has been so supportive about
Spencer. I can't tell you what a difference having you guys to lean on
has made during this very trying time.
It's unbelievable how
well Spencer feels. Last night he took off after my Instigator like a
bolt of lighting. Poor Inst! Spencer has been his arch nemesis and
since he's been so sick, Instigator has finally started feeling comfortable
sharing the premises with him. I even thought that I brought on his
crash because I'd started to scold Spencer and give him time outs for being so
unreasonable about the way he treats Insty. This morning Spence greeted
me by begging for breakfast. His tail is up and he's once again
following me around the house bright eyed. I'm sorry that Instigator has
to deal with Spencer's new found vigor, but I can't wait until he's plaguing
me with his naughty behavior of jumping on the counter and trying to eat
everyone's food before I can dole it out.
I can't help, (like Tad),
thinking of my sweet Jazzy and how I might have been able to have additional
quality time with her. I'm, surprisingly, not beating myself up about my
decision at the time. I did the best I could for her and there's no way
to know if her reaction would have been the same.
I figured when
Spencer came back to me that we must have some unfinished business.
Perhaps this is part of it. Perhaps his experience of new life, (I'm
thinking of nick naming him Lazarus), was to spread the word along with
Michelle about the steroid shots and the quality of life they can provide when
our kitties are seemingly on their death beds. I'm calling my vet clinic
to let them know. I'm not being lulled into a false sense of
complacency; I do realize that this burst of life may very well be short
lived. Given that he was dying on his own and the recommendation from
the vet was to pts, I think his new found vigor qualifies as a miracle,
however long the duration. Hopefully they will spread the word and we
can help others to have the same good fortune.
Love to you and all your
babies,
Nina
