It's so hard to tell with animals. It sounds like a GREAT sign that she seems to be eating better and going back to her regular resting place under the bush. I wonder if she's just achey or sore from the accident. Pain will make an animal temporarily stop eating.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-70497736901211417682020-10-13T09:00:24.856-05:002020-10-13T09:00:24.856-05:00someone gave my mother this luncheon tea set for f...someone gave my mother this luncheon tea set for four...small platter, 4 lunch plates, tea cups, saucers, and a cream and sugar but no teapot. she hated it, thought it was ugly but I love it.

They say that the third day or so after surgery usually is the worst for people -- maybe the same was true with Emma after the accident. In any case, I'm so glad to hear that she seems to have a bit of appetite back, and especially that she's drinking water. That's interesting about your bananas. I tried some off the trees here a couple of years ago, and they clearly couldn't be eaten raw -- or, they could, but they weren't very good. I'll remember about cooking them next year, if we get some more.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-68792062669695832262020-10-11T19:20:00.588-05:002020-10-11T19:20:00.588-05:00I am so sorry that your cat was in the wrong place...I am so sorry that your cat was in the wrong place at the wrong time, trauma.

I worked out of the big room in the house until this year when it's been one building project after another (3 really) one of which was finally rebuilding 2 (into 1) of the 3 the interior rooms in the shop that got torn out after Harvey and that's the room I'm currently setting up, moving all the work stuff out of the house. but to answer your question, yes, we have two glass kilns though one of them needs to be repaired.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-46496307152932449692020-10-11T14:13:35.271-05:002020-10-11T14:13:35.271-05:00I hate to see pets suffer.

She wouldn't come out of my closet for days and would cry so loud every time she tried to go to the bathroom. Why is it that all the cute doctors are so freakin young and we're so freakin old.
