Sunday Selfies: Week #103
Today I have a two-fur of the most gorgeous sisters, Fiona and Giulietta. I selected this frame in PhotoFunia not knowing the photo would be turned into a painting as well. Aren’t they exquisite? It makes me sad to know they will not grow old together. They love each other so much. Even on these hot days they can be found cuddled together.
Today I worked in the yard for a couple of hours. Even though it was super H-O-T, I allowed Fiona to join me as she loves it so much. It was wonderful to see her exploring and enjoying herself. Watching her roll around on the driveway relishing the coolness of the concrete warmed my heart. She is truly a special girl.
Seven months have now passed since Fiona was diagnosed with Stage 4 CKD. When we left our vet’s office that day, I was not optimistic about her chances to survive for anything more than a very short time. In the scheme of things, seven months is a very short time but more than I expected. Many of you have written me about your cats. Some have survived as many as three years with CKD. We are blessed to have had these seven months, but I want more and pray she can survive as long as others have. So I continue to ask for your purrs, prayers and POTP for my sweet girl.

Treasuring every moment and praying you are granted many more.
love that picture, it looks like a painting. Sending continued purrs and prayers to Fiona
Wow! That turned out to be a beautiful “painting!” Prayers go out for your little Fiona that her time will be extended. Blessings.
That really is a beautiful picture. Do you have a way to print it out? I know I’d want to keep it. And I know what you mean about chronic illnesses. It’s hard to just watch and wait and wonder. I know you’re doing all you can, and I hope your kitty feels well enough to stay with you for a long time yet. She really is special.

What a lovely selfie of two lovely girls. We continue to send purrs of healing to Fiona. We’re sorry we haven’t been around lately. We are getting back to visiting our friends. Happy Selfie Sunday!
I know what it is like, waiting and praying for one more month, one more year. It makes us appreciate our precious ones even more, making the most of the time we have together. You and Fiona will be in my prayers. Amy, willing servant of Lexi

Fiona and Guilietta this reminds us of all the antique paintings we have seen and we can’t help but think how gorgeous this selfie is of the two of you. Fiona we are glad you are doing so well and we purr & pray that you continue to have many many many good days ahead.
Fiona and Guilietta, this is beyond gorgeous! I’m certain it was a beautiful photo to begin with, but the painting effect is so purrfect.
Fiona, I am so glad that you enjoyed some outdoor time with your mom! I know CKD is a scary diagnosis and disease. But, you’re a tough girl, Fiona, with your mom and dad and a whole army of friends behind you. We never know what tomorrow holds, but we will continue to purr and pray every day that you will indeed grow old with your sister.
That art belongs in a museum- beautiful kitties. I pray for Fiona daily and I hope you get many more years together. XO
This is a stunning picture of your two beautiful girls. We cared for our Simba for well over three years and his quality of life was very good until just the very end. He ended up having fluids daily among a few other things added at the later stages.
How lovely that she spent time with you outdoors enjoying herself. I truly hope she has much more time with her family.
The girls make for a beautiful piece of art! We’ve never used that website, we’ll have to give it a try.
We are so happy for you that Fiona is still doing well, and we hope and pray that it continues for a long time!
Fiona and Giulietta are beautiful & I like the Photofunia look, too. Have a great day!
And huge purrs and POTP and pawyers for Fiona. ((((( ♥ )))))
That is one of the most lovely portraits we have evfur seen. Simply lovely. To be hung up in your den to always admire.
What a gorgeous selfie! We send lots of purrs to Fiona and hope you have many more months with her. One of the cats that came before us lived with CKD for over 5 years.
That duo-selfie is absolutely gorgeous! Purrs and prayers to you dear Fiona.
That’s a beautiful photo. We continue to send purrs and prayers to Fiona. We hope she is around for a long, long time.

Beautiful photo! We are purring and praying for Fiona. And we totally understand what you are going through. They said Merlin had 1-3 months to live and it’s now been almost 6 months since his diagnosis, so we are delighted! When we lose him it will be too soon, but we are just enjoying however much time we have left together.
Gorgeous pictures. Sending lots of prayers for sweet Fiona.
Gosh … this pictures is so, so beautiful! Just love it.
What a photo! Dad promised to make a special painting for each of the family.
We send purrs and prayers for Fiona and the family. Love you all!
Timmy, Dad and Family
Beautiful picture, players and purrs continue for Fiona
It truly is an exquisite photo. My heart goes out to you and your beloved Fiona… Such a strong, gracious, and beautiful girl she is. Purrs from Deb and the Zee/Zoey gang
What a gorgeous photo effect AND frame for the girls……in fact, it’s the kind of photo that really COULD be an actual “on the wall” work of art. They are beautiful together. We hope you have Fiona in the family for a LONG time to come – she just might beat all odds…..there is always, ALWAYS hope. We send POTP and keep her on our prayer list always.
Love, Sammy
Gorgeous girl selfies today! I love the painting effect! (and NO groundhogs!!!)
Adorable picture of you two, Fiona and Giuletta. It has something very nostaligic. We keep sending Healing Pawkisses and Purrayers to you, Fiona and hope you will have a long quality time to be here with your beloved peeps and furriends <3 <3 <3
This is such a beautiful picture of your girls. I will of course continue to purr for her.
That is one of the nicest pictures I have seen, they look wonderful together, and one to cherish. Heres to many more with you all together. purrs ERin
What a beautiful picture of the girls – I love the painting effect, and it may have been a surprise, but it was no accident! I’m sending purrs always to Fiona and I’m so glad she is still with you and enjoying life and I want to see that last for a very long time.
I can understand your fears only too well ! This week my 18 year old Pookie had all the signs that she would die, I called the vet and she got up, walked to her food bowl and the vet decided that she could still make it for a while. What a shock !
That is a stunning treasure forever. Btw, CKD is easier to treat than ever and more options. Our Merlin lived for 5 years after the diagnosis and died at age 21 and 7 months. We used homeopathy, RenAvast and other supplements. Some raw, some prescription food, no fish. Eventually daily sub-q and Reiki.
That is beautiful,we hope you get so much more time with fiona,xx Speedy
What a GORGEOUS photo!
My prayers are with precious Fiona.
Cherish every moment you have – praying for many many more!
What a gorgeous picture of Fiona and Giulietta! And when mes says my purrayers, mes ALWAYS includes Fiona!
Kisses

Beautiful selfie graphic!!!!
Our purrs are always with the lovely Fiona.
XOXO
They’re beautiful. Sending purrs your way for healing and recovery.
What a happy surprise to get such a lovely result! You know we have many many many purrs sent to Fiona. Each day is a gift.
Our Stanley survived four years after being diagnosed at the age of 21, so we hope Fiona is young and strong enough that she just keeps on enjoying life for years to come.
YOur lovely portrait is so beautiful and we send our best love to you. Fiona ia wonderful, she has the best care and she has YOU. She will be with us for a while yet I think 🙂
What a beautiful painting and thanks for sharing how you did it! What a sweet picture with both cuties! Good luck Fiona, sending healing thoughts.
Of course we will purr and pray every day that you and Fiona have more happy and quality years together. Your photo of her and Giulietta is so beautiful.
Hugs and love to you, dear friends.
This is just beautiful beyond words. I pray that your sweet girl has many, many more months with her loving family.
