The Coffee House

Best wishes, then. Take the cat along, next time.

Buenas Tardes Coffee Hosers. We are in a heat wave ... maybe 100F. Didn't bother me, but I turned on the A/C for Cook. After some blood tests, the Vet felt that it was kidneys malfunctioning causing her malaise and the root of not eating. We are subq-ing fluids and hoping all the extra fluids will jumpstart her kidneys. If not then maybe iv's ... but at her age, nothing may work. She is getting two treatments a day. Sunday Gary cooked up a chicken, a la smoke ... she ate a few bites. She didn't eat Monday or today.

miss my cat

I actually prefer my F350 dually to a car. Comfortable, with all bells and whistles. Didn't mind driving a tractor/trailer combination when I had to in years past.

Hate to head that about Cook. Been down that road with our previous fur kids and it's not easy

Proverbs 12:10 (NIV) “The righteous care for the needs of their animals,but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.”

Psalm 145:9 (NIV) “The Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made.”

Exodus 23:12 (NIV) “Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the slave born in your household and the foreigner living among you may be refreshed.”

Ponder these 3 prior to praying for Cook. Put her name on them and speak them out.

The good thing is that there is no oblivious pain.

I am so sorry to hear this. I have a charcoal sketch of Cook that I am not happy with at all, but I will forward out. I'm still going to do the acrylic or watercolor - MLW has to do some shopping this weekend so that will give me some time.

@Leo: LOL ... Mary Lou is like you ... she loves San Francisco (per Samuel Clemens - "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."). It was rather odd being chased inside for dinner.

@smoke: Gary cooked the chicken until the meat fell off the bones then mixed the remaining liquid with the chicken ... it was quite tasty without seasoning. It would be great as a starter for tacos and enchiladas.

OMG- That Tarragon Pork was sooooooo good. (and easy to make)

I'm trying it this weekend - we have a little to celebrate.

 

[Gary A.]

Gary paired it with a dry Riesling, which is an odd combo (dry and Riesling) but it's a great wine and paired nicely.
