BlackJack as a kitten, December 2007.
Just a quick post today. BlackJack, our 3 year old black and white cat, had to be put down yesterday. The crystals in his bladder hadn't shifted and he also had stones in there and eventually he couldn't wee at all, so he was in pain. The last day and night he kept crying and had stopped purring. Jim and I took him to the vets, who agreed there was nothing further to be done for him. I held and stroked him and the vet was very kind and gave him a sedative first. He was only 3 but was very friendly and home loving and we miss him. Poor Sandy doesn't know what to do with himself as they've been together since birth. He has given us a lot of pleasure in his short life and we did all we could for him.
We buried BlackJack in our rose garden, where a rose had died and we will buy a new one to put on top of him.
On a happier note, it's Jim's 65th birthday on March 6th and we are going to Athens next Thursday (from the UK, where we go on Tuesday) for a few days, which should be lovely. I have never been. Jim's been before and it was his choice to re-visit.
Crafts
I have made 3 bookmarks and 2 Artist Trading Cards for a swap:
And the ATCs:
The theme was 'Spring' as I hope you can see!
So that's about it for now. I'm off into the garden as the sun is shining.
