Until they die and throw you into the worst depression of your life.

Until they die and throw you into the worst depression of your life. I went from walking depression to "I need help" real fast when my pack of old-timers started leaving me.

This is cute, but not accurate. Sadness and depression aren't the same. Pets can cheer you up out of sadness. Medication and therapy are needed for depression. Full stop. No shame. Get the help you need and hang in there. ❤

Spring Break isn't off to a good start.

Spring Break isn't off to a good start. When I got home from school I could tell that ADDC was in bad shape. I rushed her to the vet and she was put to sleep.

I asked the vet after it was done if we could see inside her mouth. He showed us and it was rough. He said it looked like cancer and that operating would have been nearly impossible without sending her off to a larger hospital. We really had no choice - especially given the shape she was in today.

Now looking back I'm wondering if she always had a mouth problem. Shadow named her ADDC (A Dumb Drooling Cat) because she was pretty slobbery when she was excited. We adopted her from a reputable rescue and she had been vetted. She didn't show signs of having problems eating and drinking until recently, but something not good could have been the cause of her drooling. We all thought she was just quirky. She was also pretty wiley so we mostly just petted her when she wanted it; otherwise, you'd get scratched and she'd hide. It took me, Shaun, and Kira just to get her in a carrier the other day. 

I don't know. After the vet trip the other day she seemed to be on the upswing. I am really shocked and sad that our drooly, scrappy cat didn't make it.

I am one Advanced Calculus exam away from spring break.

Plant-loving friends:

Plant-loving friends:  I joined a group called Broke Plant Traders and my experience there has been so amazing.  You can trade with anyone, anytime, but they also have a Wish Wednesday where you can post one plant you are looking for and someone might grant your wish.  OR, you can read the comments and grant wishes if you have plants to share.  I. AM. DIGGING. IT.  I'm sending out some plant babies tomorrow and it honestly makes my whole day that they will be loved and treasured by someone who wants them.  ALSO... someone granted my String of Pearls wish (and is being so generous as to include a piece of Variegated Watch Chain) and I am OVER THE MOON right now.  💚💚💚

I took Booka and one of my cats...

I took Booka and one of my cats to the vet today. Our cat, ADDC (pronounced "Addsie" - Shadow named her when he was younger, 😂) has an infection / possible tumor in her mouth. She got some medication and if that doesn't help we'll have to have a tooth extracted or tumor removed.  Super fun.

The doctor said that it sounded like my little Booka Bear had a true seizure. He wants me to call if he has another; if they are not frequent he will be ok without medication. He mentioned epilepsy so I need to research that and get myself acquainted with that condition. So as of now he seems ok. His seizure was short and he returned to normal a few minutes afterwards. I am grateful he's ok for now. I really thought he was dying on me the other night. I've never seen anything like that before.
