Betsey, a cat living with seizures

Betsey was found and rescued from the streets on March 5, 2015. Two months later, she began having seizures.

Yesterday made 10 days since Bobby and Betsey had their surgery. Bobby was supposed to keep his cone for 10 days but I made him a padded collar so he’d be more comfortable and still keep his stitches safe. For the whole 10 days, he never took it off even though he easily could have removed it himself by either sliding it off or pulling on the velcro . Then yesterday, I figured I would wait until evening to remove it from him, but, in the middle of the afternoon, this is what was found on the floor. Apparently he decided that it was time to remove it and didn’t want to wait for someone to do it for him. Funny how he just nicely put it on the floor and showed how proud he was of himself. What a smart little stinker!

Fourteen years ago today, this amazing, wonderful dog joined the family. She had been transferred from a shelter in Georgia to one in Florida had wasn’t having any luck getting adopted. She was very shy and skittish after being abused. She fit in this family right away, loved her cats, loved wearing her clothes, and got to live an exiting life. She was quick to adjust to the move from Florida to Utah, she loved hiking in the mountains and absolutely enjoyed the snow. She could never get enough of hiking and would drag us all over the mountain. When we weren’t hiking, she loved riding in her golf cart. Now my hiking backpack is lighter without her water bottle, dish, treats, a mat for her to lay on during snack breaks, and a dog jacket just in case, and her golf cart feels so empty without her in it. I love you my Elizabeth, I’m so thankful for the 13 wonderful years we had together but that wasn’t long enough, you were an awesome dog and you are very much missed.

Bobby and Betsey in recovery mode. Their pain pills make them very sleepy.

Bobby and Betsey are happy to be back home, it’s such a relief. Everything went well, they are both quite tired but Bobby absolutely wanted to eat and watch his minions and Betsey tried playing. I’m so thankful for their wonderful vet and his team for the great job that they did with these two.

Spending the day at the vet’s today, Bobby and Betsey are both having surgery. Bobby’s cyst has gotten bigger and could rupture so it needs to go and Betsey has a bad tooth causing a lot of pain, this time all her teeth are coming out since it’s happened before and can affect her diabetes.

It’s a cold and rainy day today and the cats can’t go on their patio, so Bobby is watching a movie.

One year ago, Anastasia went to the rainbow bridge, she was 17 1/2 and suffering from advanced kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Anastasia joined the family in the spring of 2008. I went to Petsmart with my mom on a Saturday to get some food for the three cats that I already had. There was a rescue group with animals to adopt and I noticed this beautiful white cat with bright pink ears and a small gray spot on her head. The owner of the rescue said that the cat along with her sister had been adopted but returned because it was an abusive family (the cats were not the ones abused). She was hoping to get them adopted together but at that time, we couldn’t adopt two cats. We left the home phone number with the lady in case someone only wanted to adopt one of the girls. The next day, my mom and I were supposed to go to a concert but it was canceled so we stayed home. The phone rang when we should have been on the way to the concert and it was the lady from the rescue group saying that one of the girls had been adopted and if we still wanted the other one, she’d wait for us at the store. I grabbed the cat carrier and was surprised to see that the cat that was waiting for us was the very one I had noticed the day before. Thanks to Elton John postponing his concert, Anastasia became a part of the family, if it wasn’t for that, we would not have been home to get the phone call.
I miss you my “polar bear”.

Bobby had his check up at his cardiologist on Monday for his congestive heart failure and except for his potassium being a bit low due to being on his meds for almost 3 years, everything else is great. He just needs a potassium supplement. This is such a relief!

There is never a dull moment with these cats. Bobby had a lump on his neck that had me quite worried. Luckily, after testing it, his vet said it was just a cyst like a pimple. Then there’s Betsey, she’s been wanting to eat only kibbles lately, she is not easy when it comes to food. I started her on probiotics just in case she has some stomach issues and hopefully she’ll be fine without having to go to the vet. She does have her yearly check up in June, so if need be, we’ll have that done early. Then Bobby is going to his cardiologist on Monday for his checkup, so I’m hoping for some good news.

Eleven years ago, she had spent her last night on the streets, her days of being unsafe and starving were over. She was starting a new chapter in her life, one with a family, a roof over head, her own dishes with food in them, toys to play with in the safety of her home, a comfortable bed and blanket, and lots of love. Happy Gotcha Day my sweet Betsey, I love you, thank you for trusting me when you didn’t even know me.
