Against my gloomy expectations, Oreo is still with us. Our plucky little barn cat, as thin and weak as she is from not eating and dealing with probable renal failure, still responds to attention. Today Rick started sub-cu fluids and oral antibiotics, and I'm praying those will turn her around rather than adding torture to her final days. She wants out to drink from the hose (even though she has the same well water in a dish in the tack room), and last night she shocked me by finding enough strength to jump up on the hay!
Today, our final cool and cloudy day for the foreseeable future, was going to be perfect for getting the last two sheep sheared. But Rick really wanted me to go with him to the American Association of Woodturners International Symposium and Trade Show in Portland, so my to-do list went undone. I saw lots of pretties and some strange works of "art;" Rick bought some new tools – and a watch for me!
Tonight's "fire in the sky," no enhancements needed:
That's it for now from . . .

Keeping my fingers crossed for your kitty. She is older than Max was when he was diagnosed (he was 3 - very early on in his life,) so maybe that is the difference. He got so dehydrated at 3 (despite drinking gobs) that the tips of his ear dipped. It was the strangest thing. But as soon as we start the fluids, his ears perked up, his energy levels improved and he started eating again. Kidney disease is pretty common in cats. If it isn't going to work you will know pretty soon. And if it does work it will make her feel better and you get some more time with her.
Not good news about Oreo. :o(
Those pieces of art made from wood are amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Hugs for Oreo and all of you. We're pulling for her at least having some additional quality time.
Some amazing wood items. I have favorites! The small 5 pod bowls on wires, the large seed pod /porcupine thingy and the two turned bowls, the first one and the oval with the bark left on. Was it walnut? Your watch is divine! It's good to do something else besides the list especially when it's fun.
What a good day with Rick and his great hobby. Hope Oreo responds well, poor baby.
Fingers and toes are crossed for Oreo.
The wooden works of art are breathtaking! Especially the spheres with doors/drawers. Stunning! And your watch is lovely too. <3
Oh those good old cats. {{{hug}}}
