The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

Posted on 03/15/2004 1:45:41 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

But not yet weary are our feet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Never heard of a pet having an eating disorder before, but I suppose it happens.

Actually I think a lot of older cats have sensitive tummies. We've had a couple over the years. Cleo actually had trouble with that when I first got her but has been better lately...dunno why. Maybe just the fact that she is on better food and has been less stressed? Dunno!

Siamese have delicate stomachs, so I've dealt with this problem many times.

Get her some Nutri-Cal. It's a malt-flavored paste, mineral oil based, that comes in a tube like toothpaste. You can get it at the pet shops, sometimes it's in the dog section because it's good for both dogs and cats. It's packed with vitamins, minerals, and lots of calories. Hunters use it to give their bird dogs extra energy on a long day in the field. It digests quickly and the mineral oil will ease out any hairballs that might be in the cat. (Are icky grey small tapered solid things coming up in the vomit? Them's hairballs. If she was having trouble grooming that may be part of the problem.)

After she's been on the Nutri-Cal for a couple of weeks, her stomach should be settled enough to stop the vomiting. (I assume she's not vomiting blood or bile or anything nasty like that, just regurgitating partially digested food.)

Hmmmm....my aunt did wedding director stuff for our family and she didn't need no steenkin' courses. I guess she just knew all the rools already.

Thanks... we're both mostly over the "cold" part... some lingering sinus build-up on my part, trying hard to keep it from becoming a sinus infection. (I'm prone to them.)

You can catch really big fish with those.

Nope. Cats at our house are seriously not mine. I tolerate them, they tolerate me, we do not affect each other. That's the way it should be.

Good night... yawn... really, I'm going.

PM! Ugh, a 5 AM flight? Not this girl.

Just think, though: you could exercise before your flight! :)
