The Challenges of Aging

Our poor old Cleopatra is not getting much better. Steroids helped for a while, then getting her teeth out was a good move. She was without medicine for a few days at the end of August, and seemed fine. Then she went down rather fast. The latest lot of medicine doesn't seem to work well with her fur. She is a survivor, though, and carries on. She still knows how to enjoy a patch of sunlight, or a cool bit of shade- the gifts God gives us all.
I guess her quiet dignity in the face of adversity ought to be a lesson to me when I feel life is tough.
