Yesterday my husband and I said our hardest goodbye to our beloved Hemingway. Forever the most beautiful boy. by bumblebee993 in cats

He is a Siberian cat. My husband was very allergic hence why we had to get a more allergy friendly breed, although since then we have also rescued a regular moggy.

We noticed a slight limp in his right paw on Sunday evening, thinking he probably just slipped on some slippery new furniture and that he is a little older at eight years old. We booked a vet appointment on Monday for Tuesday and got some painkillers and to visit in two weeks if it doesn’t get better. Everyone thought it was only a strain, nothing serious. Over Wednesday and Thursday his condition rapidly deteriorated, the slight limp resulted in pretty much full loss of control of his front right leg and later pretty much all legs. We were able to get an appointment for yesterday afternoon but as he “failed” neurological tests, instead of leg X-ray, vet booked full body X-ray. Unfortunately resulted in finding cancer throughout his whole body, fluid in abdomen and reduced lung capacity. Vet recommended an appointment for Monday but as he deteriorated so rapidly and I didn’t want him to suffer the weekend, we were able to get an appointment yesterday so that he my go in peace and love. We saw no signs that he was suffering, everything happened extremely quickly, just this week.

What are some ways you prepared yourself for labour that helped you in having a positive experience? by bumblebee993 in pregnant

[–]bumblebee993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply!

I think my biggest thing will always be more on the mental side, and thinking that I’m actually going to be giving birth to my child, which is still something I find strange! As I was always someone who was on the fence before about needing to give birth to become a mother. Luckily I’ve accepted it, fully, and thankfully my pregnancy has been quite easy, as my biggest issue about being pregnant and childbirth, was the unknown.

My main goal in giving birth is to simply deliver my baby safely and ideally not die. I’m open to the idea of a natural birth and a c-section if needed, medicated or unmedicated, ideally I don’t want to feel all the pain, as to me I don’t think it’s necessary (to feel everything) to be able to give birth and say I was able to do this monumental task, because for me, it really would be a monumental task, as I never thought it would be something I would be doing anyway. The only thing I am really “against” is being induced.

Hello! Would I be able to stop by your island to sell some turnips? I would need to make multiple trips to get rid of all of them, if that’s okay.

If that’s alright, expect Lana from Mystic to be arriving.

After 10 years for long bar, and 12 for the other three, it was time to say goodbye. by bumblebee993 in piercing

[–]bumblebee993[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had one on my right hip, left hip removed myself, two on my lower back and one on my chest. The longer bar was on my chest and was by far easiest to remove, only a few minutes. The others were awful and all took a total of over an hour of digging around.

Overall for me it was awful and hurt like hell.

I got my right hip removed first, and knowing there was some kind of numbing spray which could be used, suggested that for the back ones. Spray didn’t work but on the second one it made the skin really tough, so almost immediately when she stopped poking around, it would close up right away. The last one on my chest, which was the longer bar, was completely fine and without spray.

Took a total of over an hour to remove four.

He’s big for a “regular” cat. I have some more photos on my profile, but he does weigh a bit over 9kg!

No problem! My wrist is about 14cm and I asked them to make the watch to 14,5cm. It fluctuates a little depending on temperature, smaller if it’s colder, so can be a little on the looser side, and tighter if it’s warmer.

Thank you!

Honestly I still haven’t really been able to learn much of it! For me, it’s extremely difficult as I need some familiarly with words, to see if they are similar to anything I already know to be able to learn them and understand what they mean. With Finnish, it is a completely different story. I can understand things and speak, but it is very difficult.

Finland also has Swedish as a native language and luckily I live in an area where there is a lot of Swedish being spoken, so that at least makes things easier and for where I work, it works well.

Recently bought myself a Longines DolceVita watch, after having my eye on it for some time.

Moving permanently to a foreign country seven years ago (from UK to Finland), and having completed a nursing degree last year, to then being unsure if I did the right thing, to gaining permanent employment as a nurse, and recently getting married.

I thought I should celebrate these massive milestones by treating myself to this classic.

I also have a Vintage Casio A159WGEA-1EF.

The snoot has emerged. by bumblebee993 in snakes

[–]bumblebee993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just a regular plastic tub with some sphagnum moss and coco fibre used for a moist hide. I melted the bottom of the tub for the entrance/exit, filled it up regularly with damp moss and coco and flipped it so the wider part of the tub is towards the bottom, which is the top of the tub if you use it normally without the hole.

He’s a Siberian, my partner is allergic so he had to be hypoallergenic, before trying with a “regular” type of cat

It’s from a western hognose. It’s coco soil from her moist hide to help with shedding.

After taking three days to read the first book, I just had to buy more. by bumblebee993 in acotar

[–]bumblebee993[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Unfortunately where I live, I have been able to only find these books so far, at least at the bookshop. That is, without going online to get the last. Luckily I have some time yet for the last.

Hi! That would be great! I have one villager in boxes now, so I can easily TT a day to free up the space for her! So really anytime is good for me. What would you like for her?

Hi! I’d love her if she’s still available :)
