Cissy's Spark

~Our  snow covered road on Monday~

I have really, really appreciated all the kind words and much needed good thoughts for our new addition, Cissy.  Despite the snowfall on Monday, she was taken to see the vet.  First up on the list was to cut Cissy's extremely long nails.  I'm not sure how many of you noticed in her first photos, but they were so long, she was unable to really walk because of their length.      

Cissy took everything in stride through the entire vets exam and only whined once when her nails were cut. Her blood work results were all returned on Tuesday and nothing in those results was 'normal or okay.'  The only good thing is, if there is one, and that's that Cissy did not test positive for heart-worm.  On Wednesday she returned to the vet where she spent the entire day for more testing.  Hopefully today we will find out those results which will be put it together with the blood work for a final diagnosis.

Despite trying to tempt Cissy with the tastiest of treats and smelliest of foods, I've been unable to get her to eat a full meal.  She's just not feeling well enough.  .  

Cissy sleeps most of the time. She seems to really like being covered up, so I've been warming blankets and towels in the dryer to put on top of her.  

But when Cissy sees me she wags her hairless tail, and also did for the girls at the vets office yesterday too. Showing me that even though it's a little dim, she has a spark.
