<div style="text-align: left;">
I found you at a time in my life when I needed you the most. You were the only Himi in with two Siamese brothers and so much cuter than either of them. They were ignoring you and me, but you came right up to the window to see me. I wasn't sure if my allergies would let me have you so I had to snuggle you right up to my face, staring a lifelong habit in you, then I made arrangements with the staff to hold you for an hour. When I got back some smelly woman was cuddling you and when you saw me you would have jumped right into my arms if she hadn't been holding you so tightly. We had to give you a bath to get rid of her perfume from your coat, it was that strong.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was a match made in heaven and we have been through so much together Sibu, I am sorry it was for such a short time. Everyone tells me that 14 years is old for a cat, but I still wish it could have been longer. I'm still convinced that you were trying to give me CPR the morning I didn't want to wake up when you wanted me to.</div>

I have had to take his harness in about an inch on both straps, he has lost that much weight. I don't think he will be with me for very much longer as he feels like nothing so much as fur and bone. So far, he still seems to be happy though so, it will be another few days, maybe weeks before we go to the vet again.</div>

Leah sent me this photo a few weeks ago and I have been wracking my brain ever since as to where the heck those rainbow flip flops came from. I am not a flip flop person and as I suspect that this was in the early '80's, I don't think I even owned a pair of flats back then. That is cousin Wayne in between Leah and myself. You can tell my legs hadn't seen the light of day in a long time too. Actually I look pretty pale all over next to Wayne. <br />

This is from our trip to Jasper last summer and I am not really happy with how it turned out. It was too busy on the sidewalk to get a better shot. This was the weekend I walked too much and hurt myself. Of the four, if I remember correctly, two are full wolves and one is a cross with a dog and the other is just a dog. Why he has the wolves I also can't remember, it was after all a year ago almost ;)</div>

</div>My friend is going to Jasper this weekend for her birthday and I am a bit envious. This photo is from one of her previous trips to Jasper - it's on my computer because she asked me to compile a flash drive of photos of mine and hers for another friend that has never actually been to Jasper. (I find that very strange as it is only 4 hours away, but, <strike>she is a bit of a princess apparently</strike> they usually only go to Banff.)<br />

Well, the vet didn't really have a lot of good news. She thinks it could be one of a few things, but, without blood work (Minimum of $120.00 that I don't have) she can't really be sure. It could be kidney problems, thyroid problems, diabetes or cancer. There is no guarantee that the labs would give us an answer and no cure for any of the conditions...they can be managed with medications that I can't afford though. We are going to leave well enough alone for the time being and I will just have to keep a close eye on him and make sure he eats and drinks. In the meantime hopefully I will get a job that will allow me to afford the blood work and whatever medications. She said that his kidneys are small and there is a mass in his abdomen that could be a kidney, but it has a strange shape to it. So, I am just going to enjoy his company as long as he is happy and comfortable and take each day as it comes. Which means checking to see if his chest moves 3 or 4 times a day.<br />
<br />

The flash went off - Sibu was not very happy! We go to the vet on Monday afternoon to see what's going on. He has lost between 2-4 lbs, too much for a ten lb cat and he is still being finicky about whether he will eat or not. I wish I could drop 20 - 40% of my body weight in as short a period of time.</div>

This is the <a href="http://www.youraga.ca/">Art Gallery of Alberta</a>, taken back in August. The first time I have been near the gallery when there hasn't been a festival or something blocking the view of it. So many people hated the design when it was proposed and the price tag that went along with it. I think they did a fabulous job and it was money well spent.<br />

This is the Alberta Hotel, newly reconstructed in downtown Edmonton. It stood on this spot from 1903 - 1984, when it was taken down, piece by piece to be later rebuilt. The pink building that you can see behind it in the second photo is the reason for all that work. That is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Place_%28Edmonton%29">Canada Place</a> and they needed the room in order to build it. Canada Place opened in 1988 and 23 years later, they have finally gotten around to rebuilding the Alberta Hotel.<br />
<br />
This is a local photographers Flicker account of the reconstruction, take a minute to have a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sahlgoode/sets/72157623744759421/">look</a> (his shots are much better than mine).

This was a fun day we had sometime in the '70's! We managed to stuff Dad back into his R.C.N.V.R. Uniform - even though he couldn't get the top done up, the pants were fine! Mom even swooned all over again!<br /><br />
I am proud that my dad, a landlocked-farm-boy, volunteered to join the Navy during WWII. He spent a lot of time feeding the fish in the Atlantic.<br />
<br />
I am happy to take the time today to remember all the men and women that have sacrificed their lives, that we may live the lifestyles that we have today.<br />
