portent
was the word of the day nov. 18, 2003 and i think is the perfect embodiment for my state of mind at the moment.
i can not properly express my sincerest thanks for the incredible outpouring of love and concern for moe {and me}. i am overwhelmed by those of you that took the time to say something, to comment, to email me, to check in. i am so touched. thank you.
i feel as though i owe you all an update... moe is home now after spending a night in the hospital. she has lymphoma. as the cancer has metastasized all over her internal organs the prognosis is not too good. we have decided to give her one round of chemo which supposedly works wonders with this type of cancer. it's a gamble, but i'm glad we took it. i am extremely happy to have her home. she is weak... but she is eating. and she still wants to sit with me... and is purring and rubbing into the dogs as she always has. i feel lucky to have whatever remaining time that i have with her. our biggest goal is to not let her suffer.... i am hoping that we will be wise enough to notice when it is time. it is so hard with pets since they can't talk and you are ultimately responsible for their quality of life. in the end i would never give up having pets even though losing them is so heartbreaking.
i am so grateful for the understanding and for the shared stories... as i wander around cyberland it's so easy to see how many of us love and treasure our pets.
and so my dear friends... i am going to stay away from the computer for a few more days. between getting ready for my next installtion [starts on wed - i have many things to frame... AND i have to check on the lighting of the doily install on tues] and there is of course the moe factor... time time time is neither friend nor foe... i do know that i am hyper aware of her in the here and now.
on another note :: i am going to send an email out announcing my shows... if i have your email you should be getting it [or you already got it if you signed up for my mailing list via my website]. if you'd like me to send it to you - please email me ....
be well... i'll be back soon!

because they're probably worried about moe too
I'm so glad to hear sweet moe is home and purring next to you. Hope the chemo goes well (it worked wonders with my sweet kitty).
xox, abee
Moe will let you know when she's ready. Spend the time, love her lots, kiss her paws. We're all thinking of you.

my raven is sick as well these days...... gosh, we love our animals don't we?! XXX mav
I'm surprised how many of us are having sad moments to share because of our little pets.
A big hug to you and Moe.
