Awww Watson dog says hi.
hi watson! hope he is doing well 
it looks like taranga is having surgery next tuesday 
to remove the lump. it seems to never end …all i want is her to be home and cancer free. she is a trooper and acting her normal self. at least it wont be a major surgery unless he sees something else. i just wanna cry. i love my baby so much. she means the world to me. but why does this have to happen. she was fine for 6 years. and now this. sigh think positive, think positive

Have you thought about getting another little critter? Having one more might bring you both some comfort 
We’re both wishing you the best!

your cat looks like mine except taranga is long haired or medium haired. i want another one but my boyfriend said its not the best time as we are bringing taranga to the vet quite a few times, etc. i miss having two cats to love. when i had my older one when he died taranga was there for me. filling in the paws and making sure i was ok. im just a cat lover. ill be the one that collects them…i look at the local shelters website all the time. it hink once taranga is better then i can think about another cat. but my boyfriend says no just because of everything that is going on

Ah well, I know a shelter near me is always looking for volunteers to help with the cats they’re housing. It might be fun to volunteer! Though I think some of those cats can be pretty vicious.

i dont drive so i cant get to the shelter. i rely on others to get me to places when they are available. plus then i would want to take home all of the cats

Haha. Yes! I suppose that would just add to your yearning. Best steer clear of the shelter then

Next week, we are getting ready to bring our 3 cats to a friend’s farm in Maine for the next 18 months, while we are away. This is a stressful moment for us My son is flying back from California this weekend for two days to say goodbye to the cats.
We are worried that something will happen to them up there. They are accustomed to the wildlife here (foxes, coyote, raccoons etc.), but it will be a new, somewhat dangerous environment there (as it is here, but new to them). And we are uprooting them, so they will be stressed So this may be the last time we see them.
My wife will spend several days with them in Maine to facilitate adaptation.
No easy choices! We still don’t have a good solution ready for my sweet big dog Bailey.
where are you going for 18 months? that seems to be a long time away from your babies? taranga doesnt like it when i leave for a weekend and when i was gone for a month in 2013 due to my disability she wasnt happy.
