Phoebe - Saturday afternoon update
She still is not herself, but at 2pm it appeared that she would be fine if I left to Aptos until morning. So off I went to JC Pennys to buy some summer clothes and three beautiful dresses that were 50% off.
I was gone for an hour.
I came home and Phoebe is standing there with a wet butt, from the tip of her tail to the bottom of her hind legs she was soaked, and it appears there may be a piece of poop that has matted to a tuff of her hair. I reached down to pet her and she started shivering again, from her neck to her head it just shakes and shakes.
Called Scott, told him I'm not coming to dinner.
She seems fine again - maybe she was just trying to teach me a lesson for thinking about leaving her. She is laying in the hall where she has a view out the front door and can feel the breeze. She is more alert now, meaning she'll twitch her ears if I call her name. I can't ask for much more as she can barely be bothered to give us a twitch of her ears when she's feeling fine. She seems fatter now - as opposed to the flat roadkill image she portrayed yesterday - and fluffier. I really hope she's going to be okay.
I'm glad Scott understands. In fact, he seemed to discourage me from coming - he knows I'll be devastated if I go to dinner and come back to... no more Phoebe. That's a very good boyfriend right there. I really wanted to spend this 3 day weekend with him, I don't get to see him much during the school year and it really is important to try to get closer when school is out. But we'll be fine. I forgot to mention this, but we did have lunch in San Jose yesterday when I realized I wouldn't be coming for the weekend, and we had a good time.
At the moment her head is totally on alert because of something she sees outside. That's a very encouraging look - now if only she'll stop peeing on herself and stop the shakes.
Phoebe's personality being what it is, I'm not sure she cares about the hopes and prayers that Catie, Petey-Cat, Kat, Catherine and Murphy have sent her, but I do. So thanks guys.
