RIP WYNSTON

(please excuse how badly this post is written, i just wrote it quickly and did not want to reread it)

Today i had plan on doing a Wedding Wednesday, but it just did not seam approriate with all that has been happening this week. Over the weekend by My little Big boy got very sick, and he stop eating which is when i new something was seriously wrong, as i had to work, My fanastic Boy, Dan took him to the Vet. After examination, the vet told him it most likely was nothing to serious and just push fluids and he should be okay in a couple of days, however he said there was a 30 percent chances that it could be something more serious an he wanted to run some blood test as well as some urine test. So we decided that this was the best thing to do, After the test were done Daniel brought Wynston to pick me up from work and we all went home together. Daniel told me how cool and calm Wynie had been at the Vet, and how the vet said they had never had a cat so calm to have his temperature or blood take before. ( He was alway such a good boy). About midnight that night we got a phone call from the vet to say that Wynie was in acute renal failure and could we please bring him back to the vet to discuss treatment options. So we got up and headed back in, on arrival i knew that we were going to have to make a hard option. 

Basically what happened was the vet told us, even with treatment the prognossis was not good due to the extended of the damage, i asked about the blood results  to see how far of the scale they were, and it was extreme. He said if we wanted to go ahead with treatment we could, and wait to see if he improved. However, even if we did this and he did somehow imporve his kideny would be rather damage and he quaility of life would not be good, and he could have a lot of health problems. By this stage Daniel and I were balling our eyes out, Our baby, yes i know he is not our child but he is still our baby was dying and there was nothing we could do.

 Daniel and I decided as hard as it was that we did not Wynie to suffer and decided to put him down. He was a good boy right to the end, the vet told me when i was saying my last good bye, that  he did not make a fuss about having the cannula put in but just sat there. Daniel, also being my white knight did something i could not do, i did not Wynie to be alone when it happened. So he held him to the very last minute while i waited in the waiting room.

So Wynie the Pooh, My little big boy. Mummy and Daddy love you, and RIP. We miss you!

Celine from The Green Frog Studio has a new feature on her blog, called Vintage Wednesday. For the first week she ask us to share a photo of ourselves as a child... so after a quick search I came across this photo of me in the backyard at my grandma and grandpa H's house.

Valentine's special editions of Sunday Music: Dean & Britta-Friday, I'm in Love

Okay it not Sunday, but it is a Valentine's Day. So i am sharing with you a new duo i have just discovered  Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips. They covered The Cures, Friday, I'm in love back in 2008 for the American Laundromat Records tribute compilation "Just Like Heaven - a tribute to The Cure".

Borrowed and Bleu (check them out for other beautiful weddings) featured this wedding back in November last year, but i only come across it today and it complete blew me away. I completely in love with vintage-themed weddings, at the following one of Katie and Dave's at Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois, ticks all the boxes to me of what makes the perfect wedding.

I want to blog

I really want to blog,  I really do want to sit down and share what has been happening BUT when i finally sit down to write i cannot find the words... I type up a message then i deleted, and i go through this process a couple of times until i give up. Why? Because i don't feel as though what i write is good enough, i don't feel what i have to say is important enough. SO much is going on in the world, and my voice is so unimportant (but this post is not about what going on in the world). I don't feel as though i can articulate my self the way I want and I also don't feel as though anyone cares what i have to say or share.

Right now i need to refocus, on what is important to me, what i want from life. I need to find time to do the things i enjoy (including blogging). I need to remind myself, this blog was not for other but for me. It was for me to find my voice, for me to have a place to look at and see who i am, so it does not matter if other read or if they care.

So i am going to really try to make the effort to blog more often, to share my life, loves and hates. Get back into posting regular. 

I promise you this blog, I will write to you. I will share with you.... I might just be a little sluggish for  a little while longer, just until i find my voice again! Just until i find a little bit of passion (and if you know who stole it, tell them to bring it back please).

So until next time
Love
E
