About three weeks ago Yinny past over after a very long illness. Her brother Yanny became very ill last monday. He had neurological problems for awhile. Monday he lost his ability to stand and walk. He has been in terrible pain since then. I've been medicating him and trying everything possible from the vet. As the vet said to us, how can there be a Yin without a Yang and how could there be a Yang without a Yin. They have always loved each other and have never been apart. They are now together forever. Rest in peace my friends. Until we meet again. We will miss them both.

Yanny and Me

This has been a very hard and depressing month.

We had two pekingese dogs Yinny and Yanny. Yin and Yang were their actual names. They're siblings and have always loved each other. They are alittle over 17 years old. Yinny has always been the little nervous one while Yanny has been laid back. They both had arthritis. Yinny developed a degenerative disk and back problem along with kidney failure. I've been going to a holistic vet for acupuncture for months. She has been getting fluids for about a month. For almost 4 weeks she has been in terrible pain, which I was controlling with meds. Lately she's been unable to get up or walk. Yanny her brother, is doing fine. Her and her brother have been like our kids. It was a very painful decision for me to make. I was always hopeful that she would get better. Until we meet again my friend. Rest in peace.

Years go my cousin lost her baby. Not sure what month she was in, probably 3-6 months. She was a practicing catholic. Her and her husband tried to have a mass said for the baby. The church refused. They said it wasn't baptised and therefore no mass could be said for it. She hasn't gone back since. About 5 years. If the church is so set on when life begins, why couldn't a mass have been said?

I posted a question about Max our cat eating the Christmas tree. Got home late and this is what was left.

Munchkin was our only longhair. I think there was main coon in him also. He was a feral we brought in to be an indoor cat. He was about 1 1/2 years old. He loved giving hugs to my wife. He had this high soft voice when he talked. Munchkin was a great at volley ball. We would throw a mouse toy to him in his cat tree and he would spike it straight down. That was one of his favorite games. He became very anemic in a short time. We brought him in and found out it was leukemia. His body was fighting the red blood cells very severely. With great sadness we decided to put him to sleep. He will be greatly missed. Until we meet again. This is a baby picture of him. I'll post a recent picture soon.

Murphy was a feral cat we took in along with his brother Munchkin. They lived and shared life together. Murphy favored my wife. He would love to greet her at the door and would follow her everywhere. He was a big tough male. We thought he was invincible. He gave the impression of being tough but was really a lovable pussycat. He would constantly purr and loved to push his nose into you and give little love bites. He was only 1 1/2 years old but we have many memories in this short time. We brought him in Sunday and he was thought to have crystals in his urine. He also had a slight infection. This morning he seemed plugged up. We brought him to emergency and they were able to unblock him. His blood work showed that he had a very deadly underlying problem. He ended up passing away this morning from this illness. Its hard to lose our furry friends.
