Welcome home Teddy!

A mother is a mother. She will always be one and as far as her children are concerned, her child remains her child eternally. I was in my 60's my mother was still alive and one day I looked at her and she looked back at me, nothing was said, it was always the same way she looked at me(and the way she felt towards me) all my life ever since I could remember, even though I lost sight of that from time to time. Thank you ever so much for that poem Janey.

Hi Janey .. such a worry when our pets are ill...
welcome home Teddy x

So pleased he is back home with you and looking contented in the photo Janey. The poem is lovely and actually brought a lump as I was reading it, thanks for sharing....

Now Snoop, make allowances,lol, he's just been rushed to hospital and is still feeling bit fragile...

Janey I loved this - what a great picture it conjours up. Kids might forget their mothers sometimes but its a rare mother who forgets her chidren;

Yes that's right Loosestrife, no matter how our lives pan out, our children are still our children, and our mums are still our mums, even if we've been married an awful long time. To have their approval is great and not, well....yikes not so good...lol! Pleased you enjoyed the poem. Ted is the only boy I have here now and we have a great bond....:))

It has been Tt....but I'm so pleased he is back here, saying that all the vets and nurses fell in love with him!

Well he does usually Snoop, he is just recuperating right now and probably wondering how I could send him away!

Thanks Lincs....he is so much better now and taking his meds very well....

Hey Stera! That's told you Snoop....I think if you'd had done what he has....you wouldn't be smiling either....!

They are part of us no matter how old....and you never stop worrying do you Stera.....

I'm pleased Teds is back where he belongs Janey he and Tony would have been good company for each other I'm pleased to say Tonys treatment didn't cost as much as Teds , I love the poem its a tear jerker thank you ,I'm going to keep it to read again and again :o)) x

So pleased to read Teddy has made a good recovery, love the poem, one that I don't know, very fond of poetry...take care xx

Oh blimey what a worry for you. So glad to hear he's back home now and we'll on the mend.

so glad Teds on the mend Janey...always so worrying when pets are poorly..x

"Welcome home Teddy"
Lovely poem Janey.

I'm pleased to hear Teddy is better and home with you now.
Lovely poem too :)

So pleased to hear that Teddy is safely back home now and no doubt enjoying all the comforting and care. I thought that poem was a real tear jerker (seems easier to jerk to my tears as I get older!) and I love it :)

I even welled up when I saw that poor little sprout being turned away on the BBC!!

Amy and Dd...Ted is quite back to his old self and very good at taking his pills, which he never was before...lol!
I'm sure he's enjoying the quiet and not being the centre of attention this week....:)). Amy I'm sure Tony and Ted would have lots to discuss,so pleased Tony is doing well....

Yes Sam and Sandra, I was very worried about him as he was well one minute and then very poorly.....so good to see him home again....:))

Thank you Klahanie and Hywel....our pets mean the world to us don't they.....

Ha ha Gee......I do know what you mean!

That's a lovely poem, Janey! Glad that Teddy is back home and on the road to recovery. It's hard to watch them suffer but cats (I find) are stoics by nature. Yesterday was Rufus' fourth birthday! he's grown into a huge fellow (at least 20 lbs.) ...thanks to my hub getting up in the middle of the night to feed him (as Rufus requests). he sits beside me now in his bed near the window looking at the snow and complaining every now and then a brrrup! and a purry trill... I tell him he's my bubs and he looks at me with a raised eyebrow! Hugs to Teddy... and best wishes too.

Lovely poem Janey, good to see Teddy back ....

Hi Lori.... Teddy is so much better now, even though he's picked up a cold now! Rufus sounds beautiful and huge! Teds the largest cat I've had but not as heavy as your Rufus, wow, what a big boy, I can just see him there watching the snow...you paint a lovely picture Lori....:)).
We have had so much rain here, and so much flooding, though where I am is on high ground.....so lucky. We're due for colder weather this next week and may see a flurry of your snow coming, winter at last....:))
Take care Lori, much love to you and yours....

Thanks Stripes.....yes so pleased he is doing well now. Lovely pic of your pusscat Levi there too.....

I don't know how I missed your lovely story and poem so apologies for commenting so late. I can so relate to your story as I am a cat person and have a lovely bond with my cat Fudge who was born 16 years ago on the day my Dad passed away so she is so special. She's getting on a bit and keeping us awake at night howling at times but you can't help but love somebody person or animal who means so much to you. I bet you had a fright but thankfully Teddy is back home back with 'Mum'! Best wishes to Teddy for a full recovery.

Sorry I'm late too Janey..so glad to hear Teddy is doing really well now..such a relief for you..I'm sure he appreciates all your TLC .take care,xx

Hello Amsterdam....Fudge sounds lovely and what an age! No wonder she is so special, they all have their own personalities don't they, I think I took strongly to Teddy as my other puss, Poppy did not like him at all when he arrived and Teddy wanted to cuddle up....lol! Poppy is definitely her own cat flying up and down the garden and keeping out of Ted's way! So pleased he seems back tom his old self now.....

Thanks Sandra.....think he's probably getting a bit bored now...ha ha

Hi Janey! Sorry I'm so late. Ever so glad that Teds is fine now...but do you know what was wrong? It took a couple of weeks for us to get Molly's results back (she had a huge lump on her back leg that came up overnight, and she had a month of antibiotics followed by surgery just before Christmas) but in the end it was some complicated four word name with dermatitis at the end, so no real worry. Shouldn't come back. The vet was funny...I commented on the fact it was her fifth GA, which concerned me...to which the vet replied that wasn't so bad over her nine years!! Lol...I'd consider myself pretty fragile if I'd had an operation every second year of my life I think! Hope he's soon back to his full self. Xx

Oh poor Molly, Karen. That rate does seem to be a bit too frequent doesn't it? Hope she's much better and can use her leg alright now, Jack Russells often live to a ripe old age don't they, so she doesn't want to have to face a few more of those??

Teddy is being very good, a bit quiet which is to be expected and probably bored too as I'm not allowing him outside hardly in the cold and damp. He had a blocked urethra, and had a lot of unpleasant stuff backing up to his kidneys. This problem seems to be in the cat family he came from. Female cats can produce stones too but can pass them easier, whereas males have an S bend in their tubes where the stones or crystals get lodged. He would have died of a burst bladder had I not taken him in then.....

Ah yes...the Bladder stones. Molly's second GA! I'm glad thats sorted out now Janey. Isn't it incredible how stoic animals are? He must have been in pain for a while you'd think. X

Well he had been quiet for a few days, yet we had visitors that afternoon and he let Lexie pick him up....he was quite fussy to see everyone, so it was quite a shock to find out he was so ill.
