Chongus

I am so very happy today! My dear sweet Chongus is showing so much improvement I think he really will pull through!!!
Chongus has always enjoyed his outside time. He'll come home for his food and loving and of course prime bed time. Which is usually when he knows no human will be in the way for him to stretch out and enjoy the entire bed. On the 13th when he came to the door around his usual lunch time I thought nothing of it and just let him in and turned to get his soft food. When I turned back to him my heart stopped, poor chongus' whole left side of his head was swollen and blood and some sort of liquid was dripping from his eye. The eye itself was so enlarged you couldn't see any color besides black. I sent Mark a message to head straight home after work and called the vet right away. Thankfully we only had to wait two hours before the vet had an opening. I had mark take him and I stayed home with the girls, pacing with the cell phone in my hand. The messages that I got weren't hopeful. The vet says the injury was from trauma which means, someone or something hit him. I can't imagine who could do that to a cat. The vet gave him two kinds of medicine, one to take twice a day and another in eye drop form that he takes three times a day. She said she'd give him a week but if he didn't show amazing improvement it was probably time to say goodbye. She also said that even if by chance he did improve that he'd probably already lost his vision in that eye. Absolutely broke my heart. I can't imagine him not being around.
Chongus meets me at the door whenever I come home in the car.
Chongus comes when I call him.
Chongus will find me and snuggle me when I cry.
Chongus wont leave my side when I'm sick.
Chongus was my belly warmer during my entire pregnancy.
Without a doubt Chongus is the best cat I've ever had the pleasure of having as a buddy.
And as for today! After his morning drops and medicine he took a little nap and when he woke up.... I could see the beautiful green of his eye! His swelling is almost completely gone! The blood although can still be seen inside his eye has stopped dripping from his eye! He even played with his toy a little! Chongus may not be completely out of the woods but he is doing better than anyone told me he would! And for that I am beyond thankful and so very happy about it that I needed to share with anyone and everyone!

Out Side Time

Yesterday and today were beautiful days. The weather was so nice we got some outside time.

Vera just loved all the pretty flowers.

Justice enjoyed them as well. But, what she had the most fun doing was making the little bits of plants into all kinds of things.

Justice was working very hard on her creations and Vera was helping by gathering more and more flowers for her.

Until she just simply couldn't resist the urge to.........
