Posting this a bit early, but in about an hour I will be a crazy cat lady with no cats.



My big girl is barely over 8 pounds now and she was over 14 most of her life. The vet about a month and a half ago said it was most likely inflammation or cancer after running some blood tests, but seeing as the steroids didn't help at all makes it more likely that it was cancer. And at her advanced age of 15, chemo or whatnot wasn't really a good choice. She stopped eating properly maybe 5 months ago. It's to the point now where she barely eats or drinks anything.

Rest well, big girl. I hope you once again enjoy eating everything in sight.

And now was not a good time to realize livejournal changed a lot and it sucks now. I can't even figure out how to make the photo show up. Took way too long to get the stupid editor to change back to the old html version.

Current Mood: distressed

Ten years since I've posted here last. I was never much for journaling and didn't have much worth even mentioning.



My 15 year old demon cat is at peace now. It happened so fast; a month ago the only thing we noticed was a change in temperament. She stopped yowling and hissing whenever someone tried to pick her up and pet her. I thought she was just finally mellowing in her old age. But it seems like it was cat dementia. And it hit her hard and fast. A week and a half ago it was like her mind was wiped completely clean overnight. She knew none of us and recognized nothing. She spent most of her remaining time constantly wandering like she was lost. Barely slept, barely ate or drank. She was so lost. And now all I can think of is the same thing happening to Bella.

Current Mood: sad

I really am terrible about updating my journal. Ugh. It just seems like my life is too boring to even bother with updates. But today I actually have something not boring to post about. I was at Target a little bit earlier looking for Halloween candy for my neighbor's patients. Every Halloween I make up little goodie bags for all her patients. She's a pediatric physical therapist. Anyway, Target is apparently slow at getting their Halloween stuff out, cause they had nothing. So I just wandered around for a bit & ended up in the clearance baby section. I couldn't resist buying several cute little baby outfits. I get home expecting my mom to tell me yet again to stop buying baby stuff since we don't know anyone who is expecting, but she didn't. Instead she tells me to look inside the gift bag on the table. I pull out two baby bibs with grandma & grandpa sayings on them. Then I pull out an envelope & inside is my brother & sister-in-law's first baby photo - an ultrasound photo. They're having their first baby in April. I'm gonna be an aunt. =) I've never wanted kids of my own, but being an aunt might be fun. And of course my mom is super excited. She's been wanting grandbabies for years now.

My favorite has always been Goblet of Fire. Loved the whole Triwizard Tournament.

Happy Birthday to Jo & Harry!

RIP Chip
August 20th, 1994 - August 22nd, 2008.

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. I appreciate it. I really should have had this post ready last night. I'm a mess right now. =(

My mom decided to let Chip reach his 14th birthday and scheduled his vet appointment for this morning. I know it was time for him to go, but I'm going to miss him so much. He was my baby... =(

I decided that it was way past time for me to update the look of my journal. I wanted it to be more colorful and I wanted to include my girls in the header up top. My journal is so very purple now. =0 I suppose it doesn't look too bad, but I hate the header. I'll work on a new one later.

ETA: My second attempt at a header turned out better than my first, but I'm still not thrilled with it. I think it needs a different photo of Chip.

ETA: Last time for editing. I changed the photo of Chip and I think it looks much better. I'm sick of messing around with paint shop pro, so no more changes today.

I've been trying to clean my room today, but I haven't gotten very far. I'm taking a break right now and filled out this survey I yanked from starwriterlv.

It's been a while since I've made animated icons, so I went and made some Smurfs icons. The image quality isn't the greatest, but I think the icons turned out okay. They're all from the episode The Most Popular Smurf.



( 22 Smurfy iconsCollapse )

Current Mood: tired

Here are a few more icons from The Last Unicorn that I made for dreamoftomarrow. I also made quite a few simple animal icons - 88 to be exact. I've always wanted to do something with all the photos I've taken at zoos, so I thought making them into icons would be nice.



( lots of iconsCollapse )

I haven't made many icons lately, but I have made several for The Last Unicorn icon contest community dreamoftomarrow. I also made a few zoo animal icons.
