Poop, Poopy Doop and Sofie's Plastic Prison

Poop is not my very favorite thing. It is not the very favorite thing of My Darling, but quite often, in the early morning hours, we find that someone has left us an offering. We are not pleased. Not ever.

Our dear Oreo Cookie is not feeling well at all. Kidney failure can be a long cruel disease. He has been leaving almost nightly "offerings" and they are highly unpleasant. Today he is having a rather difficult time ambulating and I fear his remaining time with us is short. Poor old guy.

Sofie-the-naughty-dog has also fallen into the habit of offering up small stinky gifts when left home alone too often. (Lately she has been left alone too often.) She is now condemned to the Plastic Prison at bedtime. It's a good thing for her that Grandma's Princess Cushion fits so nicely under the laundry basket otherwise it would be a long, cold night on the floor. Thankfully, the Plastic Prison treatment works well and she can be out on patrol during the daytime.

  3. Oh so sad for poor Oreo, sounds like I won't get to meet my favorite kitty before he passes. :-( Good thing there are tons of cute pictures to remember him by.

    1. It is sad to watch our pets get old and sick. He's had a good long life and been healthy for most of it. He's loved puppies and children, chased birds and mice, soaked up sunshine and frolicked in the snow. We'll always love him, or at least I will. Hannah might not.

  4. Poor Oreo.
    Sounds like what our big, gray K.C. went through the last months we had her. She was over 14 years old when it finally was just too much for her this past Easter.

    1. I really struggle when it comes to putting them down... I always regret it, even though I know death is inevitable anyway and can't help but think God has lessons to teach us that are totally missed when we do it the other way. And then I look at my long loved pet and regret that they are hurting. He's still eating, still looking for a pat on the head, and still loving us back like he always has.
