Life is a combination of magic and pasta.

Firstly, a very happy birthday to spikes ! I hope today is a fun and fabulous one.

Secondly, good luck vibes to halfmoon_mollie at getting the tummy checked today. Hope all is well

Update-ish on JuneBug. We didn't have a good night. I was almost ready to drive to the emergency vet at 1am but since I can't really safely drive in the dark and especially not when it's somewhat rainy, I just kept up with care as I could. She did eat little bits before and I thought her litter box deposits were improving but then at 1, she didn't have a good litter box deposit and didn't even cover it which was unlike her because she got out and had a bile barfing. Poor kiddo.

A little while after she still wanted some food but only picked at it. Then around 2 I remembered I had a prescription gel from last year that I hadn't used and found. It's an appetite stimulant and also supposed to help with nausea/vomiting. It didn't expire until 2026 so I found my disposable gloves and put a dose on her ear. I'll have to say, it works quickly. About half an hour later she was sitting and staring at me for food so I gave her a little food with topper which she at about 1/4 of it. But then it really kicked in and each hour she was waking me up for more. She managed to much up the equivalent of half a can of food with some pumpkin mixed in before she finally allowed me to sleep a little. I'll be home today but I do need to try to get work done since there's a deadline today.

If can manage to slow down any more vomiting and if her litterbox deposits aren't as bad, I'll hold off on the trauma of a vet visit. When it comes to pancreatitis, managing symptoms is about the only real treatment.

Even though the poor thing hit all kinds of traffic and got in later than she'd expected, it was so nice to have motherofjedi  over for an all-too-brief visit on her trek up to see her guru in CT. I ordered us a delicious dinner to be delivered from Veganized and we hung out and chatted while she tried to track down the information for her Airbnb place a few streets away.

The place she's in was really nice. I swear if it were offered as a 1BR apartment for rent, I'd seriously consider it after my lease is up in 2019. Even though it was somewhat swampy this morning, I drove us over to the rose garden at Colonial Park since I thought it would be a nice place to stroll while many of the roses were in bloom. I'll have to visit again this summer to see if other pretty roses bloom but here's a few pictures from today's visit:( Pretty flowers )

After the short walk, we stopped back by so she could "check out" as it were and we went for lunch at Noodle GoGo where we stuffed ourselves silly. One thing that was especially delicious was a Peppercorn Tofu which was more of a salt-and-pepper tofu similar to this recipe. I am SO getting that again. It was crispy and flavorful on the outside and creamy on the inside. 

Then it was time to see her off for her trip. Hope all goes well on the rest of your journey, Mojo!
