Right, it is now well after New Year and this is my first post. I did sort of promise myself to keep this up to date but over Christmas and New Year I seem to have forgotten. Anyway, would not be bothering with the Resolutions as I never keep them and don't know if anyone manages past January anyway.
Well the most exciting thing that has happened in recent times was last week. I had a tiny bit of a pain in the throat on the Monday and by Tuesday I was not at all well. I staying in bed all week but by Saturday I was nearly OK and went out. Rather nasty though so I hope that doesn't happen again for a while.
We had two cats who were about 14 years old but the smaller one, Mika, was found to have a large growth in his abdomen and he had to be 'put down' on Christmas Eve. We were all quite sad as you would expect but it set me and my wife wondering. If it had been one of us, there Health Service would have gone all out to fix it. There would have been tests, operation, drugs, you name it. In fact everything to keep the person alive. Yet if a person has very little time to live and medicine can't help, ought not we have the choice to be treated like our cat and helped out of this world? We really do treat animals much better than ourselves feel.
Well, Pickle, pictured above, is now having the time of his life as he gets more human company, the nice warm spots to sleep. I do wonder if life as a cat in a good home would be a better choice that being human - no work, no housework, lots of sleep and meals provided. What else could anyone want?
