Good News

Late Sunday evening,  I tempted Oliver with his favorite food Chicken Florentine, and lo and behold he decided to eat a little.

Each day he has slowly eaten small amounts, nothing huge, but at least it shows he is interested and is gaining strength.

Thank you for all of the suggestions in tempting him to partake, they are truly appreciated.

Oliver Update (2)

SUNDAY UPDATE: June 28 2020

Oliver is still not eating , I am force-feeding with nutritional supplements, he shows interest in strong smelling food, but refuses to partake.

Thankfully he is drinking water, and chicken broth.

No pneumonia, of which I'm grateful.

I've been sitting him in his cage, outside on the covered porch for an hour or two morning and night, it seems to perk him up.

We continue to fight...……

Thank you for your continued healing-wishes.

                                                                          🌻

Thank you for all of your prayers and well-wishes for Oliver's recovery.

I'm ecstatic to share with you the news, that I was able to bring him home last night, his temperature has returned to normal and despite being several pounds lighter, the vet felt it best for him to recuperate in his own familiar environment.

He is not out of the woods yet, I have yet to entice him to eat, although thankfully he is drinking water now.

He returns to the veterinarian's office on Saturday for an examination, and keeping our fingers crossed all goes well.

He's been through the mill this boy, I'm so proud of him.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support.💗💗

Heartbroken

My beautiful Oliver boy is fighting for his life in the veterinary hospital.

He has been diagnosed with , Bobcat fever which is deadly to domestic cats.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

 

 

Summer Days

Summer heat and humidity have already taken over our days here in Middle Tennessee.
Oppressive humidity is hard to tolerate when Norseman blood runs through your veins.
Onwards and Upwards we plod along......

Napping

A lazy sun-filled day, low-humidity and beautiful rolling blue skies.
I've accomplished a few chores on my "to-do" list this morning, and now I'm ready for a sit-down and a nice cup of tea.
Tom-Tilly seems to have the right idea.

Timeless Treasures

 

 

 

You've carried milk from the dairy.

Held daffodils in springtime.

Lived through Victorian days to Cyber days.

Had a mishap now and then.

Been cradled by grandmother's hands.

Traveled an ocean wide.

Is treasured beyond words .

Keep Calm And Carry On

We had a humdinger of a rain late last night, drenching everything in sight.

The ground is still too wet to plant in, so the two new pots of Penstemons will have to wait a little longer to find their new home.

Eight white-tail deer were happily nibbling away on the front lawn this morning, not a care in the world, and no more scared of human presence than the man in the moon.

I wonder sometimes just who owns the property.

The county leaders have decided to cancel our fair this year, the largest in the state.

Times, they are a 'changing.
