In fact it is thawing coming down through the clouds as it is cold heavy drops. Sort of like standing under the dripping icicles.

I should put the full size over on Flickr as you lose all the detail by the sizing to fit here. That bird bath is frozen solid! That shrub is covered in ice. It's almost pretty but hard to photograph when you don't want your camera getting wet.  No matter your glasses need windshield wipers.

This morning before husband took off to do meals we had to make a run up to the vet's office with Charlie. I was afraid to drive as I didn't know the condition of the roads and since he has gone blind I hold him while we go up. I don't want to stress him by trying to get him in the carrier. Besides I wanted to wrap him in a towel to keep him warm.

They always say cats get dizzy watching what is out the window fly by and that is why they cry. Well I think they are wrong, he can't see but he cries. Not as long as Chandler does sometimes. And this morning he tucked his little head into my chest like he thought he was hidden.

This is a view out front. It is funny hearing the icicles break off and hit the carport.

I am now twiddling my thumbs to wait until the vet gets back from lunch to get word on how the conservative efforts are going.

Charlie is 16 years old and it becomes a problem when they dehydrate from throwing up and can't go to the bathroom. He bit hub pretty bad this morning when he was holding him and I tried to help the poor kitty out. So they will hydrate him and try a suppository. Neither of which we can do.

So of course I cried after we left and headed home. I am not ready to make any decision but know I may be facing one. Hub did not realize there is something they can do. Younger cats that block can have surgery. Charlie can't.

So I've been through bouts of tears off and on since coming home. I've accomplished nothing. I have a sense of emptyness. I know he sleeps most of the day but every morning he demands lap time. Then in the evening he is back for more. He sticks to me like glue for the most part. I hope the treatment works and we can bring him home.

Edit: We brought Charlie home with some pills in tow. Only time will tell now. He is crying for me now so I best go see what he wants. Thanks for caring.
