My Saturday (this needs its own post)
so saturday morning we went out back and my cat "blue" came up the back hill after playing like always in the morning but right away i noticed something was wrong. before he reached the top i said "oh my god he's been hit by a car!!"i started to freak out, we brought him in and i was sure he was going to die in the livingroom....i went upstair to look up a vet number and the poor guy got up and tried to follow me, so i took him upstairs and he laid on the bed. he was scraped up, had a gash on one thigh and his back leg was stiff and his spine curved badly to one side. he was a mess. his pupils dialated and his ears were cold. (never a good sign with him). he then tried to come off the bed so i let him on the floor and he went under the bed. he just laid there while i called one vet after another. i shone a flashlight on him twice b/c i thought he was dead.christopher was crying. i sat him on my lap after choosing a vet and explained that blue was going to go to the doctor, was hit by a car, and he may not be coming home again. i had to be honest. he was very upset.me and brian took him to the vet. after the painful exam where he was such a good boy the vet said it appeared he was hit...and dragged by his injuries. then said it didnt look very good.they sedated him and took him for x-rays. the girl came back, turns out it is a fractured pelvis and a severely dislocated hip. the doc tried all she could to get his hip back in, and then came to discuss other outlets...surgery on monday...euthanasia...i cried so hard through all of it when i had a moment with the doc not in the room.then she came in to see if we made up our minds...as we were discussing possible euthanasia (the surgery was well into 1000+.00) the tech came in and said "ummm i need you to come look at this, so and so tried to get the hip in and it made a wierd double pop and we are running more x-rays" the doc left to let us wait for x-rays.20 mins later we hear "YAHOOOO" come from the back. i squeezed brians hand, "please God let that be for us...come on blue be ok...be ok!!!"the tech came in..."did you hear me?" she asked smiling.she through up a new picture on the xray board and the hip is in!!!so 576.63 later and a very woozy kitty...and my very best buddy is on the mend!!healing thoughts for blue please!!

Hi Granddaughter, Poor Blue! I remember when we lived on Colfax, that happened to our black Boybay cat Cinder Mittens. She spent an entire month at the hospital and came home in a cast...but lived for several years after that. Out pets are like our family and they give unconditional love. That was nice of Brian's grandparents to help you out, we'll help with gas$ and dinners when you get here. I guess when you only have 2 grandkids it's easier to be generous...I'll keep my 45 and be poor...LOL! .
I guess you're leaving Thurs. arriving Fri. I'm behind schedule with all going on at our house.
Love you, Grandma
