Dairy Monster Lives

Dairy got very sick from a bacteria infection. My mom has been nursing him back to health slowly. She probably has not slept for two nights and both nights she thought he would pass away. He probably is not out of the woods yet but the last email said:
"Dairy just ate Iams kitten pate.........and drank a whole bunch of water. He'll be fine KC.......we will leave water in several spots and food too.......he's moving around slowly...........Dad went to Target and got a huge cat food selection.........he'll be so spoiled! We need to fatten him up!"
This is so much better than some of the other emails. I guess he jumped out of bed this morning and returned to life even cleaning himself. Here's the email:
"We took a ghost to bed last night. I just felt he wouldn't make it till morning. At 11:00 he was a ghost......1:00 took a little water......was still a ghost.......at 4:30 AM he jumped off the bed!!!!!!!! He came upstairs and I got him to eat a little tuna and chicken.....used the litter box.....came down and washed himself!!!!! HE WAS A CAT AGAIN!!!!!!!! When we took him to bed he was a light as a feather............and at 4:30 he was "cat weight" again!"

I am so thankful for my Mom and Dairy.

We ran into your parents this weekend on a walk through the Harbor and they told us about Dairy! I'm happy to hear he's doing better. The way animals get sick is bizarre.
