September 9, 2021 - One decade... be present.

It’s been a decade since I got sick. I didn’t know then, that night, that my life was dramatically changed. I’ve done therapies, and they’ve...

Sept 8th 2014 - Meet Maisy

Meet Maisy
She's healthy enough now that I'm ready to introduce the newest member of the Schwartz household - our kitty Maisy.  We adopted her over the summer from Orphans of the Storm - or more accurately she adopted us.  Leena and Ron were in the cat room, Maisy found Leena, Leena picked her up and Maisy stayed contentedly in Leena's arms.  Cara and I were not in the cat room, so I spoke to Ron by phone, who told me about Leena and the as yet unnamed kitty in Leena's arms.
We requested some private time with Maisy, who was curious and very sweet, rubbing against us and walking from one lap to another.  She's petite - full weight will probably be about nine pounds - and the girls and I call her our tiger baby because she is golden brown, black, with a bit of grayish white (not a traditional calico look), and has black stripes on her long front legs.   She looks as unique as her personality.
She was VERY thin when we got her - at her lowest weight when she was sick with a respiratory infection, she was 4 1/2 pounds.  At her worst when she had no interest in eating or drinking, Leena and I spent 1 1/2 days hydrating her with a dropper.  But with lots of TLC, our wonderful vet Dr. Key of Rivertrails, and the right meds, she is now a healthy little girl - about 1 1/2 years old - who is building muscle and loves to play!  She chases her tail, is forever hunting imaginary enemies and loves to chase a ball.  Cosmo (our dog) was very good about welcoming his new little sister, and would be thrilled if she played with him...we'll see.   Maisy is now an adorable, quirky member of our family.
