It don't seem possible my last post was complaining about the crappy weather. What a huge difference I am now about to moan that it has been to hot for me Ha ha Poor weather it just can not win. Was a tad cooler today though and the sun was still shining so I managed to get some of my garden tubs painted up. They are quite old as is the tub of masonry paint I use on them, but it cheers them up and they keep going for yet another year. So nice also to get the grass cut yesterday.

What a crappy weather week so cold and foggy, We had Mallory for the week as well, still we wrapped up warm and managed a visit to Scarborough and even got on to the beach for a pretty rock and shell hunt. Then another day we went to the museum of childhood which was fun, We had visits to restaurants and even McDonalds, did loads of treat and craft supplies shopping we also planted all our seeds. Made two beautiful pictures using some of the haul from the beach and while I did the ironing Mallory and G/N made a heart shaped clock for Mallory's bedroom. We played so many board games and the usual fun such as decorating our bedroom with light up balloons and glow sticks. It was brighter than day in there !!!. The TV never gets a look in we a...

Dearest Kate and Lynnie, thank you so much for your words and caring. Kate, her hospice carer is hoping the vet will write it up too. Maya's legacy to other kitties.

Neil, I'm so sorry to hear about your job. Does that mean you won't be selling your house and moving? I hope you will find an even better job than the one you have now..and very soon.

I'm so sorry I haven't been around at all lately - just yesterday I had a major life upheaval out of the blue, and Red has had similar ups and downs which hopefully they will fill you in on. I've found out in three months I won't have a job, so it's back to the job market to find the perfect role, if it exists... Of course I'm anxious, stressed and worried, so it's all a bit of a blur at the moment. I'll try to be here more though. And hopefully get the cams back online at some point!

You know how very sorry I am, Diane. I'm so glad that you were able to be with her at the end, she knew how much you loved her. She's with Martin now and I know they are having fun playing together again.

I'm so sorry Diane, but very glad you were able to be with her and hold her at the end. Your vet managed to give you some extra time with her and I'm sure those extra weeks were invaluable. She had a wonderful life with you and would've known how much she was loved. I hope your vet writes up her case for the professional journals so that others can learn from her condition. Sleep soundly Maya.

Her doctor actually got this very rare form of leukemia to go into remission - her lymph count at her first test (at a different vet clinic) was 24,000, in September. 12,000 is as high as that number should get in a healthy cat and the low end is something like 500. All her other organs were in great shape with a very slight issue with her kidneys. Expected in a senior citizen. Her next test was in January, after our new vet did a bunch of research and, months earlier, put her on two medications (Prednisolone 5mg 1x a day and Chlorambucil 2 mg every 48 hours) her lymph count was 79,000. All her other organs still looked amazing for a kitty of 16 years. It clearly seemed like the drugs weren't working. She had also lost a lot of weight.So...

Hi. I wanted to let my dear hencam family know that my sweet beloved Maya passed away in my arms on Friday the 6th at 3:29 am. I am very sad but so grateful that she was in my life for almost two decades of it.

I found pictures of Red, Lyle and some friends that she posted 2 days ago on Facebook, last night while I was looking for her. She seems to be alright and they were outside playing around. So I think she must be OK.

Please let us know if you find anything. Her blog doesn't work any more and "Bipolar and us" has nothing since Feb end. She was having worsening of her condition and little medical care.

How old is Sootz now NN? I love that they settled in so well together. Poor pigeon - one day it's spring and the next we're back to winter. Makes me wonder how our wildlife survive lately!

Kate, Mic knows where you are if he wants you and the door is always open, isn't it? Thinking of you. Hate to say it, NN, but Woody has the look of someone who has picked up an object and is now wondering @Why did I pick this up?' Happens to me frequently...

Woody has chosen a mate and is busy building a nest in the laurel bush just outside the kitchen. I guess he is thinking what a good place right near the source of food !!!

My heart is breaking for you, Diane. I know how much you love Maya and I remember the fight that it took to keep beautiful Holly alive (a fight you won hands down)I hope this will be a positive outcome too. You are one of the best critter Moms that I know. Maya knows how much you love her.

Poor Mickey. I agree about the dogs / kids thing too, behaviour is poor. I'm still completely stressing about Mic moving out. I torture myself about him being alone and cry every morning. I'm missing him a lot which doesn't help, Danny is being a spoilt brat complaining that he hasn't got Mic's room yet and is oblivious to our feelings, but Pete is being really supportive. He probably wants me to get over this but knows it'll take me time.

Oh Diane, I am so sad for you. Has she just hit a rough patch with her illness or is it more serious? It sounds like she wanted the comfort of you being near her. When my Emmett was at the end she waited for Michael, my eldest, to get home. She loved him from day 1 and never waivered on that and I truely believe she wanted to be with him - it has always given me comfort that she was with him and vice versa. I am sending all my positive thoughts to Maya and you, whatever the outcome.
