  1. Poor Charlies, bless his heart! I do hope he gets better and that the acupuncture gives him some relief! LOL @ IVY…she shouldn’t be so nosy, but that is the nature of a cat…LOL Love and hugs!

  2. Something you might try in the evening for Charlie to help with restlessness is something called Quiet Moments. I believe it is an all natural calming supplement. My Edie Rufus suffered from seizures, and the aftermath of those was always moderate pacing and inability to settle. I starting giving it to her every evening about 7 pm (seizure or not) and really noticed a difference in her behaviour. It might be something that could be given with the RX you got from the vet, you could ask?
    After 2 years of bravely dealing with the seizures(Edie and I both!) we said goodbye to her on May 10. She was 13, and I miss her so terribly. I had been away from reading blogs for a good bit; but my evenings are empty and I caught up on your blog, realizing that you had lost Abi on May 10 a year ago! Your posts on pets and grief gave me comfort, so thank you.
    Prayers as you care for and love your Charlie.

  3. it is good news that Charlie’s heart and lungs are okay. I know the panic when you think a pet is sick, its horrible, usually I just can’t eat until things are resolved.
    I don’t comment much Brenda but I usually read everyone of your posts. I think about you often and send good thoughts your way.

  4. I’m glad you found Ivy so quickly. Cats are bad to explore and get locked up in closets, bathrooms and under houses. I hope the acupuncture helps Charlie. Don’t tell Ivy but he’s my favorite. Felt guilty even typing that but there’s always been something about that sweet boy that tugs at my heart strings. Maybe it’s his shy ways or maybe it’s his teddy bear face. I hope you get another good night of rest so you have the strength to care for yourself and your fu babies too.

  5. Wow. So sweet that Charlie got up on his wee legs to reach out for Ivy. Yes they have bonded beautifully and are obviously good company for each other. I’m glad you both got more sleep with Charlie’s new sedative. Best wishes to all of you.

  6. How sweet that Charlie made a little overature toward Ivy. Maybe they are starting to really bond with each other.

    I’m glad Charlie’s tests were okay. Hope that helps you relax a little about his health.

    That’s amusing about Ivy getting locked in the air conditioner closet. That nosiness can sometimes get you in a pickle, Ivy.

    Sorry about Nathan’s garden. That’s terrible. Wonder what caused the limb to drop. Maybe an old tree.

    Well, it’s hotter than Hades here again. I was outside a bit today and the mosquito population has dipped but I was drenched with sweat a_ter only a little while.

    Hugs to all, ’til tomorrow. Tell Ivy to try to stay outa trouble!

  7. I know you are so anxious about Charlie ~ I am the very same way about our little pup-o. Our little girl would shake with anxiety and sometimes her teeth would chatter. We started her on Prozac and she’s been okay on it, but we haven’t been thrilled with it. She’s had involuntary jerking movements and still seemed stressed at times. A couple weeks ago our vet recommended a probiotic called Calming Care. It’s made by Purina. I can’t believe it’s worked that quickly, but I will say that taking her off Prozac and starting her on Calming Care has resulted in a whole new pup! And she’s 13. She’s frisky and playful and I haven’t noticed any jerking movements and no shaking either. Please consider asking your vet what he thinks…and no, I don’t work for Purina.

  8. Hang in there, Brenda! We’re all thinking of you and the sweet pets!

  9. Some good news today..Thank goodness. Great to hear Charlies heart and lungs are “GOOD”. Also, fun to hear that Charlie wanted to get up next to Ivy, even for a moment. Little by little, good things happen too. Hugs from HOT Wi, Bonnie

  10. I love hearing about how Charlie and Ivy are bonding. So precious! And I feel so badly about Charlie being so anxious. At least you were with him so he knew you were there for him.

  11. Poor sweet Charlie. They are all so anxious too which makes it harder to take them to vet or someplace. Can you see any results with accupuncture or is it too early? I hope it is doing something. Ivy certainly doesn’t leave you lacking in entertainment.

  12. Yay Charlie,on his health check! ?
    Brenda, try not to worry much bc you are doing everything you can for Charlie! All his vitals are good, so that’s a great sign! ?
    Have a great rest of the week and weekend coming up!

  13. Awww, your sweet babies are bonding! Molly and the Monkey are like twins, inseparable….although sometimes Molly’s energy level and excitement gets on Monkey’s nerves. It’s awfully cute to watch them together, though….one all sleek and muscled and one all fluffy and smiling!
