Today is the 25th Anniversary of our legal handfasting ceremony! My hubby surprised me with these little gifts after I arrived home from work tonight ...
Greetings all. Well, this has been a bit of a rollercoaster of a week for us. It all began on Monday with Ginger's annual vet check up and ended with some very devastating news about our fur baby Charlie. If you have been following my blog then you already know that we had to rush our kitty Charlie to our local Pet Urgent Care two weeks ago to get what ended up to be a tumor mass removed from the inside of his leg. The Pet Urgent Care sent his tumor tissue out for a biopsy and it came back malignant. They did not know the origin of the cancer (apparently there are three types of which he could have been diagnosed with). So they suggested another specific type of test using the same tumor tissue in order to get more information about what we are dealing with. I called them on Wednesday to find out the results and they came back that Charlie has renal lymphoma. Our only options are to either attempt chemotherapy or continue with palliative care (keeping him comfortable).
As far as Ginger is concerned, we had her annual check up and her blood work came back good. She has been taking Prednisolone ever since she was diagnosed with one lung larger than the other which caused her to have respiratory problems. So far the meds have helped her and so we will continue with them.
I have a YouTube Channel where I posted a little video of Miss Ginger fetching her nerf ball, but YouTube would not allow me to share it directly and so I posted the link to my video underneath Ginger's pic below. By the fifth try she dropped the ball right into my hand. Please click on the link to watch it! 💕💕💕

HAPPY LABOR DAY, friends! We had a rather nice holiday weekend beginning with a lovely dinner at a new restaurant called, "Black Sheep Tavern" ...
Afterward, we stopped off at The Sinking Spring VFW for a nightcap or two. While there, we ran into our friend (and my "dance partner" Walt's youngest son), Billy ... 💙💚💛
On Sunday, we spent the afternoon at my hubby's cousin's house for a family cookout and the weather was gorgeous! 🌞

Blessed Sunday, friends! Yesterday my "seester" and I spent the afternoon having lunch and, of course, shopping - lol! ...
A little over two weeks ago, I woke up and began feeding the cats as usual when I turned around and saw what I can only describe as a HORROR in front of my refrigerator on my kitchen floor - two huge puddles of blood! And, sitting close by was my fur baby Charlie. I picked him up and saw that he had blood all over the inside of his left leg and it would NOT stop bleeding! Lo and behold my hubby just happened to pull into the driveway and when I showed him Charlie's leg he said, "We need to get him to the emergency vet right away!" And so we called the closest pet urgent care facility that we could get him to called, "PetHealth Urgent Care of Wyomissing". They immediately took care of him and showed us that - despite the fact that we had just had his annual check up at our own vet in February - he had a tumor mass which had apparently burst. They surgically removed his tumor that afternoon and we picked him up later that night. They sent his tumor tissue out for a biopsy to find out if it was malignant or benign. We are still awaiting those results ...
