So sad but glad to hear she's comfortable at home, poor thing.<br /><br />I'm so sad to be missing Christmas with you two but let out a little happy yelp when I read that one of those puddings is to be saved for a belated celebration at Easter!

Hopefully we will have her for a few more days or even a couple of weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-33232357187143989242013-12-08T16:28:45.585-08:002013-12-08T16:28:45.585-08:00She is such a brave little cat, she does not like ...She is such a brave little cat, she does not like her special diet but did enjoy some Organic lamb tonight although she is not supposed to have any protein, as there is nothing more the vet can do we think it best to let her have what she wants rather than starving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-3817088852956102232013-12-08T16:25:46.336-08:002013-12-08T16:25:46.336-08:00We love our Xmas puddings, one thing we wont give ...We love our Xmas puddings, one thing we wont give up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-31075236872593754902013-12-08T14:40:11.491-08:002013-12-08T14:40:11.491-08:00I'm sure Monkey is glad to be back home again....I'm sure Monkey is glad to be back home again. Could'nt agree more about all that imported tat people spend money on. The planet's resources should'nt be wasted on this crap.

And I've even seen in two shops here in Ireland already that there are Valentine's Day cards out on display.<br /><br />I'm so sorry and saddened to read about your beautiful Monkey's health problems. I'm hoping that she'll be with you and Simon for a long time still to come. - Junewomanbreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067040898288898749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-785772247629966652013-12-08T09:07:26.834-08:002013-12-08T09:07:26.834-08:00Sorry to hear about Monkey.
