I put up Oreo's pic as my default pic on myspace. I also put youtube videos of the songs Looking Through Your Eyes & How Do I Live on my profile, both by Leann Rimes. At some point this year I was listening to a cd that I found that had some Leann Rimes songs on it and I happened to be holding Oreo over my shoulder when Looking Through Your Eyes came on. As I was holding her and loving on her I started to cry, when I put her down on the couch I was singing it to her and I was crying, but she just kept looking at me. I thought, "most of the lyrics are for her" and I don't have many songs that are for her. Me and my husband come up with alot that are perfect for Cookie but never find any for Oreo. So I made that HER song, and since it makes me cry because I am so emotional when it comes to her because I love her SO much, I tried not to listen to it again. It was not that I didn't want to but gosh am I emotional just thinking about how much I love her.

Although the vet is closed Sunday, they check on the animals that are there, twice on Sundays. Dr. Simon checked on Oreo around 2pm and called me to let me know that she just wasn't improving and she peed on her self again. She did put her in the sink and cleaned the bottom half of her up and I was so thankful for that. Oreo wouldn't really let her force feed her, she just did not want to eat. Oreo lives to eat so you know something is wrong if she wont eat. She said she was also getting Jaundice so she is starting to go into liver failure. Talk about devastating. All week I thought that Oreo will not be coming home ever again and this news just makes me realize I maybe right. But there is still that hope.

When ever I read about the Pancreatitis it gives me hope cause there is a treatment although it may not work all the time, it is comforting to know that there is a treatment and recovery is possible. But she has pretty much been doing the treatment with no improvment. :-( It may not be Pancreatitis at all we just don't know and that test wont go out to Texas til Monday. I don't want to have her suffer any longer but I do want her to wait it out for the results if possible. I prayed that maybe there will be some improvment Monday morning.

During Oreo's days at the vet, Cookie who is not the type to want to be kissed and loved on, nor does she ever sleep with us, she has changed, it's almost as if Oreo was going into Cookie. The weirdest thing of all is that Oreo has super soft fur and Cookie's is really coarse. Well since Oreo has been at the vets Cookie's hair also has gotton alot softer. Very strange! Cookie has become more needy, whinny, loving, softer, and she sleeps with us now. My cousin Kathleen told me a story about when her beloved dog passed that her cat started doing all the same stuff the dog used to do. Maybe to help them heal. I can't help but wonder if Cookie is doing ghis stuff for us, but then I also worry that what if she is just lonely and/or scared and needs comfort herself.

She does NOT like to be alone anymore thats for sure. If we both leave and go to the store when we come back she has a whole lot to say to us and she doesn't just say it she yells it. She doesn't even like if we are in a different room of the house, and she does follow us around more.

Poor Cookie, I hope she is ok!
