Someday yet
he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again...

Good morning folks! Lulu hopped on my bed to say good morning before my alarm went off. Put a little salmon pate down for her and she had a bit. (Also had to give Cody some because…Cody.) She’s in the closet resting. Does purr when petted. And spent a moment in the sun.
November 24, 2025 at 2:39 PM
Nightly Lulu update: she just had some of the new dry food! Hubby and I are breathing a little easier. I did break my Target boycott to order some Churu and other special stuff for her to try tomorrow. Anything for my baby girl.
November 24, 2025 at 3:29 AM
Well, Cody seems to really like the new “sensitive stomach” dry food we got for Lulu. She still hasn’t eaten but she has been walking around and was purring after some chin pets. Thankful I’m working remotely the next couple days so I can keep an eye on her.

Oh, man. One of cinema's most reliable weirdos, and I mean that in a highly complimentary fashion. RIP.

Not heading back to the vet yet but can be ready if needed. She is moving around and has been changing rooms/spots like she is annoyed with us and wants to be left alone.

Thanks to the folks who donated towards the vet bills and for words of encouragement! I’ll keep posting updates.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Morning Lulu update: panicked this morning because we couldn’t find her. She was deep in my closet. She did pee in the litter box shortly after, then retreated under a bed. I made a little wet food “soup” to entice her to try and eat/hydrate.

If she doesn’t eat/drink soon, will be calling the vet.
November 23, 2025 at 1:35 PM
Lulu has moved sleeping spots several times, not sure if she’s feeling restless or getting annoyed with us checking up on her constantly. Still hasn’t had any food or water but she did have subcutaneous fluids at the vet.

If no change by morning, we’ll call the vet and see what they say.

Lulu update: She’s still in my closet resting. Husband got the appetite stimulant cream rubbed into her ear, hoping that persuades her to venture out for food/water. Got some fancy salmon broth stuff waiting for when she’s ready. Fingers crossed we don’t have to take her back in to the ER 🤞🏻😿

Thank you Jersey Mike’s for having decent gluten free bread (and cookies!)

Didn’t have energy for anything, so hubby picked up dinner and we are having a grocery order delivered (including some special food for Lulu).

Lulu is still in the closet sleeping, will give her meds a little later.
November 22, 2025 at 11:19 PM
Lulu has relocated to one of her usual sleeping spots in my closet. Still gets growly after more than a minute of pets. I don’t think she’s had food or water yet but she was pretty ill yesterday so her system might need a little longer to recover.
November 22, 2025 at 8:24 PM
Good morning all - here’s a Lulu update!

Scans showed an empty digestive system, no obstructions. IV fluids given for dehydration w/anti nausea & appetite stimulant. Blood drawn. Sent home with probiotics & appetite stim & will continue steroids every other day.

They didn’t get home til 1am.
November 22, 2025 at 3:19 PM
Another update before I pass out. Anti nausea meds administered. Lulu will be sedated for x-rays. Vet is cutting us a deal but still looking at $500 for this trip. (After the $770 last week.)

If anyone has a buck to spare, Venmo @ Elizabeth_WB / PayPal @ batman481

Lulu appreciates it!
November 22, 2025 at 6:34 AM
Lulu update: they’ve been at the vet almost 2 hours now. No further vomiting but poor thing may be dehydrated. Still attempting to explore/escape, so that’s a good sign.

Dog peeps! A local friend [age 79] has a dog, KiChi, that needs dental surgery on 12/09. Last time it ran $500; she's on a fixed income.

Taos Vet will let folks call in donations at 575-758-7310.

For KiChi, Account #8173. They're open for another hour.
November 21, 2025 at 10:50 PM
Chat, please keep Lulu in your thoughts. She’d been doing good after a week on the steroids but today she threw up before we got home from work, after we were home, had a bad 💩, threw up some more. Very violently, she looked so distressed 😿 Hubs on the way to the vet now. Will update with news.

How did I not know of the existence of the film Gypsy 83 until this week? My god, younger me would have been OBSESSED. Not a Stevie Nicks super fan, but I definitely had my goth phase (still do on occasion) and current me appreciates all the struggles of Gypsy and Clive. 🖤❤️
