You just can't hide. The computer posts it is going to rain and you bet, it rains. Autumn is here at my house today. Heavy rain at times and gusting wind. Today was kitty Beau Teak's next time to have fluid taken from his chest. It went differently today- Vet helper said I should go home after the Vet examined him cause it would be a few hours before they did anything. So I had a split day. Its about a fifteen minute drive to the Vet but not on the highway. I am grateful for that. Beau gained about four ounces- a good sign. About 4 I called and told the clinic that I was heading over. I took Rufus with me for company. He was good and patiently waited with me in the lobby for Beau. Vet clinics can be so slow. I figured he needed the social time. He sat nicely by me though he for sure was nervous and not sleeping. I had falafa mix soaking at home but by the time I again got home I did not want to mess with making it into balls and waiting for it to bake. I scrambled two eggs with milk and nutritional yeast, fried that up, toasted bread and buttered that and cooked some cauliflower from the freezer. Supper and glad of it!! Beau had more fluid in his chest than last time. Right now he is curled up on the bathroom's heated floor, snoozing. I hope he perks up soon. He is such a good boy.

We would gladly take some of that extra rain. None in sight any time soon, and it is so, so dry and dusty here. I am glad Beau's treament went well and he is safely home again. He is lucky to have you to love and care for him. Sometimes, an easy dinner is just what works well. You can have your falafa tomorrow. Glad you are home safely.

Thanks @MarieCoyle Both of us have had long days. I hate that my mind is turning toward the inevitable with Beau. He must not suffer.

@sallypup I've gone through this so much over the years...the final times with them, we don't want them to suffer but we don't want to give them up, either. It's such a hard call. And such a loss, many people never realize just how much a special pet can really mean to someone. Hang in there, sweetie!

@MarieCoyle Thank you. Many times Beau has reached his front limbs up to me when he wants to be held. So human like.

I am glad you have a warm place for BeauTeak to recover from his vet trip. Yes, he must not suffer.

Poor Beau..my previous kitty went through the same. You might want to keep some oxygen on hand.

I love the rain as long as it does not flood.

@jstory07 I don't mind rain if I don't have to drive on the freeway in it.
