My doggy sister is sick.
Maddison has been sick. The vet said that she has heartworm. Mum and Dad are really upset about this because they said Maddy has taken prevention medication her entire life. The vet said it is just bad luck. Maddy is special because the vet said it is the first case they have seen in 5 years!
She has been undergoing treatment but it is pretty horrid. Mum said she had two arsenic based injections (I don't like needles myself), and now she has to remain quiet and calm for 4-6 weeks. Despite that, we may still lose her to the rainbow bridge. I hope not.
When Mum or Dad are home Maddy sits quietly under the table to be close to them.
Mum took three weeks off work to care for Maddy (and me too of course), but now she has to go back to work, so Maddy has to stay in her cage in the bathroom so she remains nice and quiet.
Mum says it breaks her heart to have to see her locked up. I can't see any pieces of Mum's heart laying around though, so maybe she put tape on it or something to mend it.
I liked having Mum home. She brushed me sometimes twice a day and we cuddled a lot. I wish Mum could be home all the time. (so does Mum I think).
I hope my sister is okay. Mum says the first two weeks are the biggest danger and she had the injections 3 weeks ago now, so hopefully she is doing okay.

we are saying purrayers for Maddison. we are sure you take good care of her while your Mum & Dad are at work... Mom said that Maddison is a very pretty girl
Oscar,
When I first saw this it was right after the news report of contaminated dog food here in the US. Some people are losing their dogs because of this.
It is hard to stay inside all the time, but I hope Maddison gets better.
Lots of hugs and purrayers.

I hopes Maddy am ok too a'cause she is just beautiful. I likes her sweet, kind face. She looks like a good puppy. You keep an eye on her and purr lots around her to make her feel better m'kay?
Oscar, I don't know if I like dogs, but I'll take your word for it that Maddy is nice to kitties. She's very pretty and looks intelligent (for a dog). I hope she gets well soon. For your Mum's heart, and Maddy's, purring is the best treatment we kitties can give.
We will say purrayers for you & your sisfur & your fambly. I's sorry for you all Charlie....
We really hope your sister does better. We'll keep her in our prayers.
We will purray for your woofie sister.
Many big hugs for sweet Maddison! She is just beautiful. I am sure you family is taking very good care of her.

Oh poor Maddy. We hope she improves. Do keep us up to date on her condition.
Hope Madison has gotten better.
We humans do have a strange way of putting tape around our broken hearts. You'd be surprised.
