You'll be as shocked and sad as I was.....

Honestly, I'm gonna make this as quick-ish as possible... As you all know we came to Dallas and of course have our kennel with us. Well, Shiloh is still currently in heat so we chose to keep her at a separate house form Shiner and Beaux has joined her, as did Hidey our cat. Just so we don't have to haul them all to and fro!

Anyways, since we've been here I've noticed Hidey had not been acting quite like herself... things like eating like a pig, coming when I call her, stuff like that. Which is totally weird because when I talk to her she looks at me and meows or at night when I call her she comes to bed!! So earlier in the week I noticed this and said something to Micah and my mom, then yesterday I stopped by to let the doggies out and she was still acting this way. So I called my mom real quick to see if Dr. Hernandez could squeeze us in to check her out. Well, my worst fears were confirmed, she had quite a few things going on (she had a very low temp, ulcers in the mouth and we all know she's tiny but, she weighed 6 1/4- way too low for her) . The big picture is that it was renal (kidney) failure.

At the point she was at, there wasn't much of a chance of a positive recovery. I say that because it would either be try and get her better overnight with heating pads and iv's then see how she does on her own to even doing kitty dialysis for the rest of her life. That's just sounds miserable and unfair to do to such a fragile little thing and I didn't want her to suffer-- anymore. It's difficult because it was just so quick since she wasn't showing any signs of illness at home but, as Dr. Hernandez explained she was probably climbing to the top of this illness and everything finally hit all at once and she could not "act normal" anymore.

I know this probably shocked some of you that know Hidey (as it did me) but, I had to fill you all in because this blog is really I guess, about my life and what's going on and unfortunately this is something that's going on in my life :( I'm gonna miss my little kitten kaboodle though....
