My Birthday week in review ...

Greetings all! Yesterday was my 62nd birthday, but I celebrated it this past weekend with my seester. However, before I get into my birthday weekend I just wanted to post an update on our Charlie. I took him into our vet after noticing a skin irritation on his shoulder blade. It looked much like feline dermatitis. So after having him checked, Dr. Hoy did indeed confirm that he has dermatitis so she gave him a shot of convenia (an antibiotic which lasts approximately two weeks) and a topical dose of Neosporin twice a day. I asked them to run blood work on him since we haven't had that done in a year since we took him in from outside. 

UNFORTUNATELY, we received a call the very next day informing us that he was diagnosed with kidney disease! We were devastated! He is currently on a special RX kidney food diet in hopes we can prolong his life. Now, we already lost TWO cats who have passed away from kidney disease and IT IS NOT PRETTY! In fact, it is utterly heartbreaking! We are doing everything we possibly can for him. :( 


Okay, now that I have told you all about the BAD NEWS, I will move on to the rest of the weekend. 

My seester Aurora Skye treated me to a wonderful birthday lunch at Ganly's Pub and gave me a really COOL set of earrings and a beautitful card ...


We also went shopping where I found these neat little items - a pen with amethyst gemstones and a pava shell bracelet ...


We also stopped off at our local Yankee Candle Store to check out the new Spring items ...
Spring/Ostara Luma Lid.

My co-workers were so kind and surprised me with these cards and gifts! ...
From hubby ...

From my fur babies ... lol!

And from my Twin Soul (sister) Rhiannon and her son ...
And, Blessed Mother's Memorial Day πŸ’–πŸ’”πŸ’–πŸ’”πŸ’–
