A mixed day...


                       Today has been a mixed day.. I ate a little this morning by myself. A very little but something. I was today mum thinks a little more alert. Mum was in the yard  planting the baskets and I was out with her most of the time. I turned my nose up at fresh cooked fish which I usually love and have not eaten anything since this morning so dad is just about to give me another tablet. I am though drinking lots of water which is helping keep me hydrated.
   I so love you all for keeping the purrs going and mum says it keeps her going too.
                       Love and hugs to all.. GJ xxx

Updates and thanks....

Update on our boy ..
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the thoughts, prayers and purrs for our Jasper. Last night after another day of eating hardly anything Barrie decided he was going to risk  a extra appetite tablet. The tablet seemed to help a little and Jasper ate some food. Today again almost nothing so Barrie is going to try again. Jasper is wanting to stick as close as he can and is sleeping much more. We are still hoping so much that he will start to eat something on his own but we also realise that those levels are all the time creeping up and we fear they will overwhelm our sweet boy. At the moment he is not hiding away which is a good thing and he is still also at the moment still  our sweet boy, we will do whatever needed and fight on. We have had 18 months after there being almost no hope back then so the fight is on to get more months. One of the best things I did way back in 2008 was to start a blog for my sweet boy and through that blog we have made many wonderful friends and shared so many ups and so many downs. I hope we can share much more and I know you all are helping so much. Thank you all so very much..

 Two days ago it was warm enough to sit outside with dad and I sat in the flower barrow with dad in reach to keep stroking me while I got a little sun on my furs. It is now back to cold and the heating on..

Love and hugs to all my friends.. GJ xxx

Hello everyone......


Hello everyone. Sorry I am late with a update but mum was on a long shift and just not had a chance. I have been at home with dad who has been trying his best to get me to eat. I have nibbled small amounts of chicken yesterday and today a few mouthfuls of fish but its slow going as I am just not interested.
 We so want to thank you all for the lovely comments and purrs and woofs as they mean so much and really keep us going. I was doing so well and just two weeks ago we were happy at how well. We knew the levels were creeping up but we discussed with our vet that while I had quality of life we were keeping on top. Suddenly those levels were making a difference and my eating dropped off. We are so worried that the decline has started and don't want to think about that . I just need to start eating properly again because the kidneys  can't cope with non eating and those levels keep creeping up. At the moment I am still moving around and still love my snuggles but sleep more and more. The good news is I am not hiding away and mum and dad think still have quality of life. They are not ready to give up on that so keep those purrs coming please.
   Love and hugs to all. GJ xxxxx

Thank you friends...

                          Thank you all my friends for the purrs and prayers. I came on today to give a little update. I am very up and down with the eating and seem to only want to eat a little at night. Most days I wont take anything no matter what is offered, I will eat a little at night but not enough to be good. I am not hiding away which mum says is good but she also says I don't look well in my face and that worries her. I am always a snuggly cat but am extra so and want to be as close as possible. Mum says that is fine because both her and dad love me to snuggle. Sorry we haven't been to visit much but we will soon..  Love and hugs to all. GJ xx

Hello ......

Hello my friends. Thank you all for the purrs and they are so appreciated. yesterday I ate hardly anything at all and slept the day away. Today was much the same despite mum trying to tempt with all sorts. A while ago dad tried another appetite tablet and I kept it down. I have eaten a little so far and now am back to snoozing. Please keep those purrs, woofs and paws crossed for me.

                                                 yesterday mum was talking to me and saying she loved me and that I should eat please...I listened...
                                                   I will try mum... Promise....
                                                      Love and hugs to all.. GJ xxx

A little blue.....

I am feeling a little blue today.. I have not eaten much at all and dad gave me a appetite tablet which I promptly vomited back up. I have spent most of today sleeping and being quiet. If I don't eat tonight dad will try a tablet again and hope it stays down. Mum is hoping it is a off day and that I start eating again quick smart.


                            I show my tail to illness and hope it goes away..

On another note we wanted to say how sorry we are to see the awful devastation the tornado has caused in Oklahoma. Our hearts go out to everyone and to the families who have lost everything.
  Today in London a senseless act of terrorism lost a young soldier his life. We pray that one day there will be no such acts and that peace will take its place.
Love and hugs to all.. GJ xx

They are back......

Mum and dad are back from their 40's weekend. Tristan and Sue sent reports on me back to them. The first day I didn't eat a lot but second day ate much better and this morning ate my breakfast. I didn't eat anything else today so dad gave me a tablet tonight to give a boost. I enjoyed playing with the beans at the weekend too and got out in the yard with them for a while so I was ok.
  Now for a few of mums silly pictures...
                                                This chap had the crowd very emotional. He was helped up on the stage and sang with them. Harry is a veteran and it was quite emotional.. Paul ( who plays George Formby) said this man is why I do what I do.
                                                    Two book ends...
                                                         Just managed to catch the spitfire on its fly past..
                                                       The children love getting involved..
                                                   Mum always does it.. Just look....
                                                      
                                            When mum asked the triplets for a photo one said oh another that is 39 now.. They were keeping tally but looking like this no wonder as they were so cute...
                                                 These two just loved posing for pictures...
                                                     Asleep on the job...
                                                     He was so cute and loved all the attention...
                                                       More silliness...
                                                  This is Nugget he and his brother go to many events and they are gorgeous..
                                                  Nugget and Coco with their mum Karen and mum..
                                                     Nugget and his ice cream. He loved it..

 

                                                     Just look at this handsome horse..



                                This always makes us smile...
   More fun and games...


                                                    He came out of his cottage and saw all the people and wondered what was going on.. In two minutes he was rolling over for mum to rub his tummy.

 
                                                 After a lovely meal on the last evening...
                                                  This car had a notice on saying I am not abandoned but rescued and being restored..
                                                     Look she found another one...

                                                 Yet another.. This one wanted to go with mum...
Hope you liked a little look at some of mum's pictures. Hopefully we will get a chance to catch up tomorrow with our friends..
                               We send out love, purrs and prayers for all in Oklahoma . We have been watching the news and are so sad at what is happening..
                                           Love and hugs GJ xx

My vet update......

                                     Hello everyone. Firstly thank you all so much for the good wishes you left me. I went to see the nice vet man yesterday tea time and he did all the checks. he stole my bloods again and said the results would be in today. Mum and dad talked to him about me and how was I doing. The vet man said he was so  pleased with how I had beaten the odds and had kept going when they had not expected me to. It was now 18 months since I was so very ill.  He did say that my levels had been creeping up each time recently and that the appetite loss was also a little decline. Mum called for the results and the vet man said the levels had once again gone up, but more worrying was that the phosphorous levels were very high and this was not good at all, he prescribed some powder that has to go on my food twice a day and should hopefully help with that. Mum spoke to him again and he did say I was showing signs of decline but they would do their best to keep me stable as long as  possible and that at the moment I am enjoying a good quality of life. Mum agreed and both her and dad and the vet will do their utmost to keep that as long as possible.
  Mum and dad are at a wedding tomorrow and the rest of the weekend at a 40's weekend at Howarth. The first big event of the year. I will be at home with Tristan, Sue and the girls coming in to me. Mum and dad will worry but the vet said as long as I am in my own home I should be OK and will sleep a lot.
   Love and hugs to all.. GJ xx

I am back.............

Before mum went I sat on her suitcase but she still went..
                                                  Mum and her friends on the first day...
                                                 Chilling at lunch 0ne day..
                                                 The bride to be and mum  one of her hens..
                                                   All the hens...
                                                            Flat me went too..
                                                         Mum got Sue a cake and as you can see it went well..
                                                   Sue and flat me...
                                                           A yummy cocktail...
                                                     She always does it... Mum and a little friend...
                                                   Waiting for a meal...
                                                On the last day .. Yesterday was mum and dads anniversary.. this is their wedding day.
                                                     When mum got home this morning I sniffed her case all over for signs of strangers...
                            While mum was away dad was worried because my eating dropped right off. I had been eating less than normal for a couple of days before mum went but it dropped right off . Dad gave me one of the tablets we still have from when I was ill before. They are appetite tablets. I ate better with these. Today though not eating again so dad is going to give me another tablet and hopes it will kick start again my eating. Dad says it should do as it did a couple days ago.
                         I saw when mum got back that there has been more sadness around the blogs with friends both human and kitty going to the rainbow bridge and we sent love and hugs to the families.
                        I hope you all my friends are well.. Love and hugs GJ xx
