What day is it?!

23/04/2024

Mom and I were scrolling facebook, as people will, and we came across this fabulous story. We appreciate you so much for taking the initiative to learn how to rescue not just the people. What a kind, compassionate, and well trained group of people!❤️

Tiny Peggy goes to college!

Went on a little outing today! First we had to get a new adventure vehicle (stroller) for Peggy, some rodents went in our garage and chewed holes in her old one!! As much as she loves being held it wears her out after awhile and she needs a comfy place to lay. We went with a stroller made for children instead of pets this time. It’s big, but it worked out great! Tiny P carried the picnic! We took her because with travel time added to activity time we wouldn’t be home in time for her 6 hour window. She gets her bladder expressed every 6 hours, we were gone 9 + hours! She did great! She met lots of nice people, had a tasty picnic, did a little exploring and took some great naps. ❤️

We hadn’t done a weigh day in awhile. Tiny Peggy’s usual weight is 4 pounds 11 ounces or 2126 grams.
This evening I got out the food scale and a wide flat bowl, lined it with a little towel and laid her in it. Peggy has been weighed LOTS of times in her life. When she was a kitten she was weighed multiple times per day! It has always been a bit of a challenge to keep her weight up.
She has a minimum of 4 meals per day and at least one snack. One of her favorite snacks is plain white chicken meat that mom cans/bottles at home with no salt. Peggy eats a special diet because she had crystals in her bladder when she was a year old. The food has worked wonders and at a recent vet appointment there were no crystals!

Today’s weight 4 pounds 10 ounces or 2116 grams.❤️

I have been as excited as a seagull with a french fry to share this throwback video! Micro Peggy grooming. This was seven years ago when she was about six weeks old. This video has been hiding in someone’s phone all this time!

New treats for Tiny P today. Will she like it? How will she react?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure chicken is a hit!! Interesting fact about Peggy, she doesn’t usually purr. Never has.

It’s Tiny Peggy gotcha day!!!
7 years ago we made a 3 hour (one way) drive to scoop up a litter of kittens and their mama that were in need of a soft landing in a foster home. The rest is history.❤️

Welcome Coco ❤️

We’ve had a run on standard poodles lately, possibly because of the Doodle craze. Handsome Coco is 4 years old, 48 pounds and was previously a breeder. He’s people friendly and playful and respectful with other dogs. We’ll update more as we get to know him. Available soon.

I wanted to show off my skill at drinking water from a syringe. No bowls for me!! Good job mom, taking video and getting me a beverage.❤️

This is the way we take pills around here.❤️ Peggy was having some out of the ordinary symptoms so yesterday we ran her to the vet. She had some tests done and we learned that due to her paralysis her gut is not as active as it could be. There is a medication that can help and I will be learning more about that and other options as well. She also has a UTI that we will be addressing as soon as the results from the urine culture come in. The uti is most likely also a result of her paralysis. Since we are chatting about her health it seems like a good time for a whole update. Tiny Peggy is a 4 year, 7month old cat. She currently weighs 5.1 pounds. Her weight was one of the symptoms that alerted us to a problem. Her usual weight is 4lbs 11 ounces. Suddenly she had a bit of a belly! At 15 months old Peggy started having neurological and mobility issues that progressed to total paralysis from her shoulders back. That paralysis remains. Many illnesses were ruled out, and no cause was officially ever identified. We worked with a team of veterinarians that ranged from our much loved and trusted general veterinarian to a neurologist, internist and rehab specialist. We have been assured on a number of occasions that she is not in any pain. Due to her paralysis we have learned how to express her bladder and bowel, this is done at least 4 times per day. Since her care is so complicated any people only outings are limited to about 6 hours, or she goes with us. Later this year we are hoping to visit the home of the biggest mouse and his friends, thank goodness for pet friendly hotels!! A little known fact, Peggy stopped drinking water a few years ago. We have supplemented her food with water ever since. On extra warm days she also enjoys sips of water from a syringe. Peggy is a super snuggler, enjoys naps in the sun, loves her people and her Mary Alice dog. She is also a big fan of her meals, which she gets 4 times per day! Tiny Peggy is adored, cherished valued and
