Cleo is somehow better today

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies --

Just when I thought we needed to take her back in and part with her

she is rallying today. I came home from the gym (we take turns going

out so she is not alone) to find her standing at the door almost

prancing (as much as she can now) to let me know that she wanted to

go for a walk. We went for a nice slow walk -- I hoped to see

neighbors so they could say good-bye -- I guess everyone was out

shopping. She is now sleeping peacefully a few feet from me -- after

a nice massage not only down her legs but across her forehead (now

that I know her cancer is near there).

Thank you all so much for your kind words and the massage

suggestion. I have been massaging her already -- I bought one of the

trigger point books for my problem arm/shoulder -- once I looked at

some of the healing arts websites linked to the reiki sites I found a

couple of other hints I had not thought of: in particular, using a

hot pad (I have several as i get shoulder injuries so frequently) for

her and the idea of the light touch (dry bath) in addition to the

massage. I usually whisper how much I love her while I massage her

just as I do when she is resting -- I know this helps her (and me

especially when I see the love in her eyes).

I do not know how long this good time will last -- hopefully long

enough for me to talk the vet into giving me a sedative to give her

for that " last ride to the vet " that I know is in our next few days

or weeks. The vet's asst said one of the signs will be that she will

not eat for several days along with being too listless to get up (she

was definitely like that all day yesterday -- she slept almost non-

stop until 9PM). So I am thankful for this good day and for all of

you.

Regards,

Wonderful News . God Bless you and Little Cleo. maybe she wants to ensure she is around for the holidays. Wouldn’t that be sweet?
