International Mother Earth Day

April 22 is International Mother Earth Day, or Earth Day for short.

"Libraries are uniquely positioned to act as catalysts for climate action by fostering social cohesion, an important factor in effectively responding to climate change impacts. 

Through diverse programming — such as workshops that bring community members together, services that connect individuals with vital resources, and welcoming spaces that encourage interaction across social divides — libraries cultivate the collaboration and collective energy essential to turning climate action plans into reality. 

Their presence generates the trust, buy-in, and partnerships necessary to drive meaningful environmental change." - EarthDay.org

Henry Update:

The new combo of meds seem to be making a difference, and now we have a schedule (nicely typed up by the vet staff, thankuverramuch!)

Henry and I had a delightful nap together on Tuesday afternoon.

Tea Spot

"National Tea Day was founded by The Tea Group in 2015. 

Their goal was to establish a special day just for tea, bringing together a community to enjoy tea and to unite the tea lovers of Great Britain."

 April 21 is the birthdate of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Now, I know there are plenty of folks in the UK who do NOT drink tea, and that this is stereotype; we mean no harm.

I LURV tea, even had a tea cup tattooed on my skin...twice.

Hope you enjoy some giggles:

Henry Update:

His intestines are inflamed, and have thick walls.

Lymphoma, or Irritable Bowel Disease, or a few other illnesses?

Our goal is to get him to a place where he can eat and wants to eat.

Then to keep him comfortable.

His new meds:

Mirtazapine: appetite stimulant

Metronidazole: antibiotic

Prednisolone: steroid

Proviable: probiotic

Cerenia: anti-nausea

Cobalequin: B12

HIX received another B12 shot, a Cerenia jab, and sub-q fluids.

You all have been hanging on with us, and we so appreciate your love.

❤️❤️❤️

Henry Update:

He's eating better, but still lethargic.

Continued runny poops.

Good thing we have a visit with the veterinarian early today.
