 in response to harley21...   Hello harley21 long time no see. A friend has a new puppy and is not suppose to let it go out till it has all of it shots so it doesn't catch pavo and she is out going for walks. How is the stop smoking going? It has been a while since you have been here. Sunny my cat had kidney failure in June and vet did no blood work but gave him hairball crap. Sunny basically was starving to death. I was livid as I had to learn from Becky on another site organ failure. He got treatment and was good for two months. but the second time the creatine levels were high but he wasn't starving like the first time. Got him into the vet he came home after 5-6 days and the medicine or treatments just didn't hold. He was hyper on the on Sunday June 19th then that night didn't want too much food ate some on Monday slept with me then went to the bathroom got sick a little . Vet visit on the 21st and he came home and hid which broke my heart. He had had it and always fought certain types of medicine , it was a struggle for both of us. I woke Wednesday morning heart racing at 6am and knew he had moved and he did under the bed. It took till 11AM to get him out said my good byes and man next door took him to vet's office and I had him put to sleep. I know the vet who treated Sunny has two expensive beautiful cats he had brought in long ago. They were cool and Sunny in his cardboard container when he was younger hissed at these cats along with two other cats that stay roaming the clinic.
It has not been easy to say the least and I have learned so much more about kidney failure and what to feed cats from the beginning. They say you learn the hard way and this was too of a hard way for Sunny and me. I want to get the place de cluttered and move from here really bad. Seems like not much has gone right since the move here. Wish I had more great news and did work part time for a while.
love and miss you .

Hi harley21

I am thinking you working on stopping smoking. Can you chew gum instead of eat or eat celery and other rabbit food? I can't believe this week flew by..I am working on getting caught up decluttering. Have a great week...Starshine

Hi harley21

My hand is okay. Nothing major going on yet. Cat is the only one that sleeps!! But we are due for a heat wave and got some laundry down. I was up till late last night but had taken a nap..My mom use to smoke and stopped. She ate stick pretzels and nibbled. Stopping smoking is hard as I have been around people trying to do it. LOL about the dogs and I can picture you giving the dogs a bath..

How are you ??

Take care ok

Hi Harley21........ I couldn't help but give you an idea for not eating while stopping smoking.  I smoked for 30 years until the doc said stop.  So I did.  But like you said it is extremely hard to do and the feeling for food increases.

What I did was get a huge box of low calorie straight old popsicles.  Every time I wanted a smoke, I would get a popsicle instead.  It would satisfy my craving for food, it lasted as long as a smoke, and it made my mouth cold.  At first I was going through a lot of popsicles but then it started curbing itself and now I am pretty much broke from them.

At first it was hard, because my husband also smokes.  He will die before he stops.  But as time went by, it got easier.  I have not smoked now for 5 months.

Not saying this method will work for everyone, but it does work.

Hi Luellasue

I am sorry about your dog and I know it can be hard. My cat bit the heck out of my hand last night and I have to find out what medicine to give him or find no kill shelter which is hard as they want money to take him or another option as I just can't take being attacked when I am sleeping. I will pray for you and pray for me as I lost my part time job. Need to order food and just a lot of things...Starshine

Keep in touch ok..
