Texas A & M Visit

I had my oncology visit with Dr. Barton on 1-22-08. It was a long day, and lots of tests were done. I was so happy to see Dr. Willard and threw myself into his arms when I saw him. Everyone is still very concerned my lack of appetite, weight loss, and do not have bowel movement for days.

*

I went to see Dr. Young on 1-24-08 as Dr. Willard has given instruction of Palliative and Supportive Care treatment plan for Dr. Young to follow. Dr Willard also instructed everyone in the family needs to do patient calendar and closely monitor my situation.

*

I have my beauty treatment and photos taken by my photographer this morning. It is so kind on both of them willing to do it for me in such a short notice (1 day).

*

It is so kind that everyone asking my health and so supportive.

Dog Misses Feline BFF

This story I want to share with you all. None of my relatives like pets. They do not believe we are intelligent and have feeling. If you (uncle and aunt) read my blog this week, this is a proof to you that we are same as you folks. We are loving and caring. In fact, our passion, love, and forgiven are much bigger than human. Here is the story about a dog misses his campanion so much after his BFF moved on to the rainbow bridge.
*
Oscar, an 18-month-old Lancashire Heeler, missed his best friend so much that he dug up the late cat’s grave and brought the body back into the house to be reunited with him.
The dog saw his owner dig a grave in the garden for Arthur, the 17-year-old family cat, and put him in the hole.
*
When Oscar’s owners woke up the next morning, they found Oscar curled up next to Arthur’s body in his bed.
*
Oscar and Arthur were the best of friends and were inseparable, and Arthur, who was a larger cat, even used to help Oscar onto the sofa.
*
Oscar’s owners said, “He had managed to climb out through the cat flap in the night, obviously with the intent to get Arthur back. Bearing in mind that Arthur was a huge cat, Oscar must have used all the strength he could muster. Then he pulled him into the basket and went to sleep next to him. Arthur’s coat was gleaming white. Oscar had obviously licked him clean. It must have taken him nearly all night.”
