Waiting Always Is Hard!

I took Annie in early, but they weren't busy, so while I went to a nearby coffee shop for a cup of Darjeeling tea, they got her urine sample, the blood for a full panel (including the T4), got her armpits and chest shaved and her claws clipped. I had a list of items/concerns, had said if she needed sub-qs to go ahead, but they either forgot or she didn't need the fluid. She has lost weight since her previous recorded weigh-in (last winter); she's down to 7.6 pounds, so she's lost about half a pound.

Now comes the waiting. They vet clinic is open only until noon tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I'll hear anything before the new year. I'm scared to talk to the vet, frankly. Afraid it will be worse than I'm imagining...and my thoughts aren't happy happy joy joy right now. But c'est la vie, as the expression goes.

I appreciate the comments very much, so appreciate the understanding and support.

I think the best I can hope for is that it's early stage CRF, manageable for the time being with a change of diet and a renal support supplement. I don't want to hear anything worse than that.

So after I brought Annie home I headed downtown with my camera, needed a distraction. I got lots of shots of the windmills over on Wolfe Island, and a slew of duck pics. What else would I take? LOL. I'll get around to posting some of those another time.

Today, here are a few more snapshots from yesterday's walk in the conservation area.

There's a private farm at the airport entrance to the Point; they keep sheep. I covet their land!

 I don't know if they still use this old tower, doesn't look like it!

Someone decorated this tree at the parking lot adjacent to the airport property (there are two entrances to the Point--this and the one at Rotary Park by the marina).
