A little light in the tunnel

Today is the first day of fall and September is moving at the speed of light.
I don't know where the last week has gone.
 Audrey is top priority these days and only yesterday, after days of worry, I saw her health take a turn for the better. She is now finished with antibiotics and seems not to need the meticam for the last two days. She is eating well; more with gusto, and is once again moving around the mouse-house. But, she still walks in circles; moving constantly to the right. You can imagine how frustrating this is for her; and so tiring. It tears me apart.
Because of this I am carrying her around much of the day and keeping her beside me by brushing her gently with her favorite brush.
Her next appt. will tell us if the infection is completely gone. We then have to discuss what to do about the polyp in her ear canal. Until it is removed the vet does not expect to see an improvement in her movement. This is far from over, even though I thank God and You for all your good thoughts and prayers, and I am so thankful that she is feeling better.
She joined her mom in a sun-puddle today.


Still loves her hidey-hole.

The house-building carries on. The house is wrapped in insulation and the roof-trusses arrived today. 
It will soon look like a real house.



David has been by to check on the construction, being a guy and all.

Look at that mug. lol
 He is just here for a belly-rub, shameless fella that he is, and it is always fun to have him drop by. I never let him near the old pump where Simon lives. He's a Mighty Hunter, as you know.

Our garden won't quit. 
No one visits the mouse-house and goes home empty-handed. 

My web cam has revealed our mystery visitors; three very big and very healthy-looking raccoons.
I'm pretty sure it is the mom and two babes that started coming for food last winter. By the looks of them they should do well this coming winter with the extra weight they have on their chubby bodies. 
No cat.

Have a good weekend, everyone.
Please keep Audrey in your thoughts and prayers.
hugs, Deb

  3. I can't imagine how hard this has been with Audrey and her illness. We love our fur babies so much. I am so glad she is doing a bit better and I'm keeping her and you in my thoughts and prayers. The new house is making great progress!

  4. That is very good news to read about Audrey. I am so grateful and happy that she appears to be making improvements in several areas and being more herself. You must be feeling such relief, even knowing that this isn't over yet. I am just so happy and relieved myself.

    I love the care you have been giving her. She must know she is loved beyond measure.

    I will continue to lift little AA to our Lord asking for his healing for her.

    Thanks, Deb, for the update.

    Love and hugs to all,
    Lily

  5. Hi Deb,
    One of my cats had to have a polyp removed from her ear canal and now she is completely healed. I hope the same goes for your Audacious Audrey. It was quite scary and I was so relieved when it was over! Sending healing prayers your way.

  8. Audrey is indeed in my prayers as are you and Annie and all who love her. I'm so glad there is some improvement and I'm hoping you can deal with the polyp soon enough. Meanwhile, you are being a good cat mom and taking such wonderful care of her. I know that has to mean the world to her.

    Good news on the house! But better news for Audrey.

  9. I was thinking of Audrey today and hoping there would be news of an improvement. What a scary time. It is heart-wrenching to see an animal in pain or confusion--we do our best to love and comfort them. I hope the polyp can be safely removed.

  19. Such good news - any improvement is cause for celebration. My Slimbo had vertigo two years ago - it was terrifying. He recovered, but still has a slight head tilt. Will be keeping Audrey in my thoughts.

  27. It must indeed be frustrating for Audrey; I find it frustrating when I can't explain to my poor cats when there is something wrong with them. But things are improving, and will continue to do so. The best of luck to Audrey.

  28. Glad to hear that Audrey is showing some improvement!

  29. Sun Puddle, I love that. You're house is really looking GREAT! Maybe you'll be in before Christmas? Simon is just darling, he would not stand a chance here, as my cat Claudette is a notorious chipmunk hunter!

  30. Glad to hear that Audrey is feeling a bit better. When our fur-babies are not feeling good, it is hard on us, too. It must be stressful worrying about her while your house is going up, but exciting, too. It looks wonderful! I love raccoons, but they do decimate a bird feeder at night! xx K
