Goodbye Boo

My sweet little kitten died yesterday from coxitia (sp). I was at the emergency vet with him until almost 4AM on Friday night/Saturday morning after I noticed how lethargic he had became Friday evening. They did all the could for him. I was so hopeful that he would pull through. Last night, while I babysit for my youngest 2 nieces, I heard his cry out from his bed. I went to him and picked him up and held him. He began gasping for breath. A few moments later I realized he had taken his final breath. It was so sad. I have had pets pass away before, but never as a baby. His little body stayed warm for quite awhile after he died. We held him and kissed him. My dad buried him this morning. I'm gonna miss that sweet little baby boy so much!

Life in the A-Town

So I am slowly adjusting to life in the ATL. Actually, I think I'm adjusting better than I thought I would. I still get homesick from time to time, but usually only when I'm back at home. It hits me how much my life has changed and I start to miss the way things use to be. When I come back to my apartment and my job, I remember how proud of myself I am and how much of a good change this move was for me.

My BFF Tori came to stay with me for Labor Day and we had SO MUCH FUN. There is never a limit of things to do when you live in the city. I loved being able to drive downtown to the Georgia Tech Barnes & Noble. I could spend HOURS there! We drove all over Buckhead, too, and I'm really getting the hang of the crazy traffic around here.

This weekend I got a baby kitten! He is about 5 weeks old and he is a Main Coon. I named him Boo Radley. He and his sister were found without their mommy. Tori has his sister, Sheerah. Tori's mom took both of them to the vet today. My little Boo has an Upper Respiratory Infection. Thankfully, he got the medicine he needs and hopefully he will be better in no time. He is so tiny! He's not even on food yet - just drinking kitten formula from a bottle. I just love him to pieces (so does my Yorkie Cassie) and am so glad I have this little man in my life!

Peace Up, A-Town Down~
