Patti-tat-too's horrible 'welcome home'...

Hello my dear friends!  I enjoyed a fabulous (albeit brisk!) week at MS Camp at Camp Courage last Sunday until Friday afternoon .Returned home to a totally silent apartment. My cat Chloe did not come running to greet me  like she's done the past nine years, and all I heard was a weak 'meaaaw', sounding like she was stuck somewhere.  I finally found her lying on the floor in the bathroom. As it goes, she was severely dehydrated and was kept overnight for IV fluids and observation.  She's not at anywhere near 100%, perhaps about 60%, though she just needs tons of TLC and soft food and fresh water. 

 I was and remain livid that my self-medicating bi-polar ex-boyfriend lied all week about how well Chloe was doing and how much time he'd spent up here with her.  Then I find out the good news(!): He's thisclose to being evicted, which I sure hope happens because I've GOT TO free myself from that sick 'relationship'. (We've been nothing more than very casual friends for almost two months now--he's left me feeling totally  sucked dry emotionally and financially).

 I am getting Broadband installed Monday, so will wait until then to change my avatar and post an update.  Will thankfully  save mucho buckos since the sick ******** ex-boyfriend got me a Quest modem and will do the installation. Don't flame me, he owes me a ton of money I'll likely never see, so will resume computer expertise through Quest. Aaaaacccchhhhhh! 

Gotta get to bed here, as I'm working for a vacationing gal this weekend, which is actually very  good, as I really need the extra bucks after the vet bill plus Chloe's follow-up appointment Monday. 

Ooopsie, it's Mother's Day--Happy Mother's Day to all you moms and I'll go to work, then come home and snuggle up with Chloe.  Wow, she is so not a 'lap cat', but now stays on my lap plus stays in bed with me.   This is way too long, though I'll post once I get Broadband set up--got some awesome CLOSE-UP face shots for new avatars.  Thanks for letting me vent...catch 'ya later;   you're  awesome people and I will never even threaten to leave this board--getting online really, truly feels like'coming home'!!  Hugs galore, Patti

Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.

Pattie, I'm sorry you're going through all this after a good week at camp. Hopefully things will mend quickly.

OMG!!!  Can't you call the police and have animal cruelty charges brought against him?  What an ass.  Next time you need pet care -- come to one of us!!!  I'll drive to your house and care for Chloe if it means she'll be safe!!! Glad you are back and had a good camping time any way!!!  Missed you... XXOO

You are handling that much better than I would have.  Somebody did that to my cat and I'd probably make the 6:00 news!  Give the poor fur baby a gentle hug from Ms. Sassy Pants (our cat) and me.

ohh Poor Poor kitty!!!!! My heart goes out to both of you. Because of an ex of mine..(see recent break up posts 2+ weeks back) my kitty was in kitty prison, had to move so I could spring her. She's much better and happier now. Hope Chloe's doing 100% soon!!!!

 I am not short... I am fun sized!!

Awww-so sorry to hear about Cloe-hopefully she will be better soon.  Shame on the XB for neglecting her....hopefully he will fade away one of these days and you will be able to get him gone for good!  Glad you had a good week at camp-what a great time to be there, with spring starting to bust out all over. Enjoy your mommy day-hug your little baby!! hugs- lynn

Hello Patti....I was wondering where you have been. You were missed!! Glad you had fun at Camp!! As for your ex I would report him to the humane society or someone. That was so cruel. He needs to be  whipped for his actions!!  Glad you are back ....hugs......connie sd
