banky



this is my kitty banky, I have chatted alot about him I am sure. sooo I thought hey probably about time I put face to information.

we got this bundle of terror from this woman (who was a probably a little questionable) who worked in the price chopper deli ohhhh ages ago. Her cat had 6 kittens, banky is one of the two boys.

sooo after begging RJ for oh probably about a goood two weeks we said we could have him. since of course the cat would have to live with him, hello I have a crazzy cocker spaniel, who thinks he owns the world (that is a later story). anyways, we get this cat, probably a lot younger then we should have. first, we find out he has fleas ahhhhhhhh. now those of you who know rj, know that hey he is not the neatest person, but there is one thing even he can not tolerate that is bugs. he flipped out, everything in the apartment had to be washed and banky immediately got meds. then next we find out that the food we are buying him is making him to heavy so we switch to healthier brand. then, he is finally healthy for about a year. just around the time RJ and I got engaged RJ's parents asked him if he would like to move back in and save up some money, from that moment on my little banky has been very sick. first they thought, he had a urinary tract infection, nope nothing help, he would just pee everyone, he had no control and it seemed to hurt.

soooo we have put up with mis-diagnosis for oh about 7 months now. we spent sooo much money on new food, shots for the inflamation and even x-rays and nothing seemed to work. once RJ moved out to burlington with his parents we began taking him to see a new vet. they pretty much gave us the worst news possible that he might have bladder cancer or that the linning of his bladder was too weak.....or the 3rd option which was that he would be on this type of medication that helps his bladder function normally for the rest of his life.

this was definitely the hardest decision we have had to make......i mean if we could we would spend every cent on this cat, he means the world to us...........so we decided to take a risk and just try the medication and soooo far cross your fingers it has been working. he has been on the medication for ooooo about a month and he has had no accidents........we are soooooo happy. Banky does have to return to the vet to see if there is anymore blood in his urine and if not this medication is working perfectly!!! I hope soooo....i dunno what I would do with out this little guy!!

soooo ya thats the banky health update heheh!!

chat with ya'll later :)

just chattin

hey all,
sooo long no chat. things have just been going to quickly. it just never feels like there is enough time in the day.
- store closed in march and now we are re-opening this thursday at 9am, as a new sobey's wohoo!! so far not a lot of work has gone on in the deli because my specialist is useless, soooo it will be a very sleepless week for me I know it!!
- other news-- wedding stuff: we had a fabulous engagement party. thanks to our pals lins and gregg. everyone had sooo much fun. at first we were like eh party for us I dunno -- well more me then rj, I always have that dreaded fear that no one will show, I guess it comes from childhood, who knows -- anywho, lots of friends and family were there...it was great -- so much chatting, and have a great time, and oh of course awesome food heheh!!!
- wedding plans are continuing on really well -- we have our hall, church, dj all booked. at the moment we are looking for a cake or I should say bakery, which we think we found today and looking at photographers as we speak. ummm we have decided on the honeymoon, now its just getting the down payment together and then we will be all set.
-wedding dress situation, still havem't gone looking. I know what I like, trust me I have the magazines to back that up, but the shopping part I know will get me down. but hopefully once work calms down i can get out there!!
-ummm what else can't think of anything else at the moment -- i will definitely post an rj/lins b-day update, because that was also a great night!!
gotta sleep
