Magic has always had a love for the great outdoors so this is something we’ve been treating him to each day. This morning as I was coming back for my camera, Bobby at that same time was on the way with the camera. It’s something that we were both thinking this at the same time. Here are a few pictures of Magic in the great outdoors.
Magic our kitty is not doing well since his last visit to the vet. When we took him in to get his shots (for the flight), we learned that he lost another pound in the last 4 months bringing him down to 4.5 lbs. And Magic seems to be going down hill so fast from the time he had his shots and the trip didn’t help either. Bobby weighed him again just a few days ago and he had lost another half pound from the time we arrived. I weighed him again this evening and he’s down more than one pound in the last three days. He weighed in this evening at 2.4 pounds. He’s sleeping almost 100% of the day now and doesn’t appear to be eating anything at all. Bobby has been trying to get him to eat some chicken, tuna, broth, kitty treats and Bob’s been trying anything and everything that he can possibly try to get his poor kitty to eat something, anything.
The vet told us that Magic would eventually get to this point but it is so hard to accept. Today Bobby purchased Magic’s little box and our hearts just about broke. Bobby’s found a little pet cemetery where they will cremate. And we’ve already made plans to have him cremated and we’ll keep him with us until the day we retire. We have plans to eventually burry him in our backyard one day and we’ll plant a tree in honor of him. He’s been Bobby’s friend going on 18 years and it’s so hard to say goodbye.
We started off the day by sleeping in. There was no alarm or wake up call to jolt us out of bed. And the blinds in our bedroom were pulled tight the night before. They’re the kind that make our room blacker than black long after the sun rise! Let’s just say I may consider this type of blind for our next bedroom.
We made it down to breakfast around 9:45 AM. Rochelle, you will appreciate this… I’ve already purchased a large bottle Crème Brulèe coffee cream to carry down to breakfast each day. And to top if off, Bobby gave me a nice coffee thermos that he received from work. They keep fresh coffee down there all day so I’ve been known to make a few coffee runs throughout the day.
We were finally ready to leave the hotel in search of a home/lot around noon. Can you tell we were not rushing around at all this morning? We Drove to PA and looked at some property. (The property in PA we were looking at would only be a half hour drive to work for Bobby.) To make a long story short, we didn’t find what we wanted there.
We’ve got this ‘lofty’ idea that we want a view. This land is so breathtaking and it would be so nice to have a home planted right on the top of a hill. The beautiful thing about this area is that it’s not all built up with lots of developments. The silly thing is that most of my readers already know this and Jennifer has lived here for what, 17 + years now? But this is the first time for us to experience this and I’m truly in love here.
After our trip to PA we stopped by downtown Owego for a very late afternoon lunch/dinner. We ate at a nice little Italian restaurant and the stuffed shells were out of this world! Then we leisurely strolled down the streets window shopping and found some charming quaint little shops. What a nice mellow day and we let it unfold without a rush.
We got home late afternoon and we were able to once again pull those blinds to make the bedroom dark and took a nice little siesta. Ah, we continue the relaxing pace into the evening hours.
