The good and the bad

First off, I can't say enough how thankful I am for your advice. It is a frustrating thing to go through and it is so nice to have outside perspective on the issues. A lot of the time it is hard for me to see the situation objectively, because I am so invested in Reno emotionally and financially.

I got in last night from visiting my family and welcomed this adorable bundle of joy into my home.

It took him about 20 minutes to lay claim to my room and spent the rest of the night playing and cuddling on the bed. I did find that kittens apparently are not big sleepers. I got next to no sleep as the result of several jingly toys that were being circulated around the room. Those may have to be put in a special hiding place tonight...

Gryff is way cute and has been a purrrfect kitty so far (fingers crossed). I'm hoping maybe we can make it through the first week or so without having to replace any furniture.

At work this morning I got a call from BM concerning Reno's eye. It doesn't seem to be getting any better, despite a few rounds of bute and antibiotics. He now has nasal discharge in both nostrils as well, so BM thought it would be best to go ahead and call the vet. Since it isn't an "emergency," I elected to stay at work instead of driving out there. I hate not being there, but I have to be a bit careful about taking off suddenly at a new job. Plus, I figure I will need the extra money to pay off the vet bill that is coming my way. The vet should be there sometime soon, so I am anxiously waiting for a call. Fingers crossed it is nothing serious!
