Thankful Thursday
Each Thursday, the kitties and I like to share things for which we are thankful. Voicing gratitude is important in order to keep a positive outlook on life.
This week I am thankful that our wonderful vet, Dr. Neel, recommended Dr. McBane as her replacement. Calista Jo and I had an appointment with her yesterday. She is thorough, friendly and kind, and I really like her. Unfortunately C.J. was not pleased with being in the PTU or traveling in the car. I was nearly deaf from all the meyowling and caterwauling there and back.
She was mostly well behaved while we were in the exam room, as she did a lot of self-soothing purring.
Calista Jo may have eosinophilic granuloma. She received an antibiotic injection and will be on steroids for the next three weeks.
I got several photos of her while she was quiet. Unfortunately, I cut the tips of her ears off in the best one.
I also am thankful Dad Tom and I were able to attend two concerts this past week. The first featured Cote Deonath, The Ultimate Elvis, which Periwinkle & Stinky shared with you on their adventure. If you missed that, click on the link in the previous sentence. We also attended a wonderful concert by Graham Nash.
As always, Kitties Blue and I appreciate your friendship, support and comments.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Each week our dear friends, Teddy and Angel Sammy, (Two Spoiled Cats) share an inspiration photo with the hope that some of their followers will write a poem about it. This week’s photo is totally precious. It looks so much like our Cooper Murphy and Lisbeth; though, we would never find the two of them in a such an embrace.
Love’s Embrace
Love is not partial to any gender
or species. It is universal and meant
to be shared. A smile, warm hug, kind word—
each has its place and time; is
appreciated and reciprocated if the
heart is pure, the intention true.

This poem is definitely unfinished, but I have been unable to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion. If I can complete it, I will share it again in a future post.
Each week Angel Sammy transmits his poem from the Rainbow Bridge to Teddy for publication. He is a masterful poet, and his weekly creation is always worth reading. Pop on over to Two Spoiled Cats, by clicking on the poetry badge, to check out Sammy’s poem and get the photo for next week’s challenge.
Thanks for joining us today. The kitties and I will be back tomorrow with some Fill-ins.
I’m glad you have a good vet and hope the treatment does wonders.
Your poem is just right to me.
A good vet is worth their weight in gold. I’m glad you found one! I hope the steroids help Calista Jo feel better fast. <3
I hope Calista Jo is better soon. She is a beauty. Cute poem. XO

Great Thankfuls. We’re glad you like the new Vet and we hope the meds help Calista Jo.
We loved this week’s photo and your poem is great.

Chia: Calista Jo’s Mom cut her ears off!! *gasp*
Lucy: No, Chia, she meant she just didn’t get them as part of the picture. Her ears are fine.
Chia: Wow, that was scary. I shoulda known C.J. was OK when Miss Janet then wrote a pretty poem about love, right? And I hope C.J. gets better real soon.
I am glad your new vet seems good and caring. That is a lovely poem.
So happy your wonderful Dr. Neel has recommended another wonderful vet for your kitty family and that you like her. We sure hope the med Calista Jo will be on will keep her stable and happy. We’ve got her on our prayer list! Sounds like a couple of fabulous concerts and lots of fun going on there…………that makes me happy for you – just as the poem you wrote for Poetry Thursday makes me happy………………
Love, Pam
Oh, Calisto Jo, so sad that you have to take meds but hope they WORK….And you are to be commended on your purrs and perfect behavior with your nice new vet!
Hopefully the medicine will help Calista Jo. She looks like such a sweetie! That’s also a really cute photo this week, and I love the poetry you wrote about it!
I sure hope that CJ will heal up with that treatment regime.
I loved your poem, its so sweet just like those kitties!
