Another day at the clinic and some of the sick pets are starting to look, and smell, too familiar. 
Fluffy, the white wonder dog, comes in every day now to get her wounds cleaned and new bandages put on.  Mother has some crazy way of tying the bandages on so they don't slip off.  Fluffy says she's tried to get them off, but it's no use.  She says it feels good when the bandages get changed because things are starting to get itchy.  Mother says that's a good sign.  The Fluffster definitely has more spring in her step, so I think she's "out of the woods" so to bark.  But to me, being a dog and all, I think I'd rather be in the woods.  There's so much more to sniff and chase in the woods, it just sounds like good times.

In the afternoon, a shrunken little cat named Lady came for a visit.   She smelled sweeter than red syrup, or yummy lean treats.  She had a smell like the crunchy crumbs from the muffins on Friday mornings.  During her visit with mother, she kept yowling, " I"m so hungry and so thirsty, all I do is eat and drink and still I'm soo hungry. "  Apparently the shrunken cat used to be twice her size and the reason for the visit was to find her missing half.  Mother looked in the red syrup and the marking yellow juice and found her answer.  "Diabetes" she said, as if that word made any sense to me.
Hearing mother explain it, the problem has something to do with sugar, and Lady not being able to use the sugar.  Sadly, Lady's parents were too upset about the news to learn how to help her, so they took Lady home leaving mother with the worried look.  I do not like the worried look. 

Next, Candi came for her last visit.  She had fought the battle against the thing trying to take over her tongue, and lost.  Mother helped Candi and her mom say good-bye one last time.  I know that I would be sad to never see my mom again, but the people are always talking of the Rainbow Bridge and about everything being peaceful and getting to chase rabbits, so I don't think it can be all bad.  Of course, I'm in no rush to find out either.
