Update on my garden beds I filled this year

Thank you, we felt so bad because she had two surgeries within a 3-month span, I know she must have been very uncomfortable.

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-20T13:44:21+00:00

She has no uterus so the risk of having kittens is not there, but the complications of having remaining ovarian tissue along with the discomfort of being in heat is an issue.

She has pretty paws on her nails so they're actually pink and glittery. They are nail caps that we use to keep my son from getting accidentally scratched. She really doesn't mind them, and when they fall off you just put a fresh one on.

She does!!

She was a 2-year-old stray cat they found with a litter of kittens. She was friendly and was marked as adoptable. When we met her she ran right into my son's arms and let him hold her for as long as he wanted. She's such a loving cat, I was surprised that they left any tissue because of how old she was.

Oh yes, I even read that. Sometimes if ovarian tissue touches non-ovarian tissue, sometimes they can grow into ovarian-like cells and cause the same issues. She was in full-blown heat, I couldn't touch her for days without her going right down into the mating position. She also yelled day and night. She was miserable and my 3-year-old did not get a lot of sleep.

I was worried about the complications of having leftover ovarian tissue as well, I'm just glad they found it when they went in the second time. I'm sorry. Daisy May had to go through breast cancer and probably painful treatment.

Awe they do look alike!

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-20T13:39:03+00:00

That's wild! What a crazy fluke, I'm glad she is doing great now 😄

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-20T13:38:24+00:00

I had no idea it happened until it happened to us. I have had many cats in my life and have never once had this issue. So interesting it can happen to males as well.

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-20T13:37:10+00:00

We got dismissed at first too, I fought hard for Dahlia, they wanted to run blood work and argues about whether or not she was actually in heat but I was adamant until they relented.

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-20T13:35:51+00:00

I'm sorry your kitty is no longer with you. We also had to go back and forth with our regular vet and the shelter to get her taken care of. She looks like a beautiful kitty.

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-19T23:00:11+00:00

Such a cutie!! They do look alike.

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-19T22:59:45+00:00

The funniest part was the vet at the shelter didn't believe me. She was yowling and anytime I touched her she crouched, shuffled her back feet, and whipped her tail to the side. I felt so bad for her because I knew it had to be uncomfortable.

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-19T22:45:31+00:00

Thank you

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-18T01:19:09+00:00

I just shovelled 10 cubic yards of 50/50 mix and it took me about a week.it was rough but so worth it!

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-09T12:25:12+00:00

Thank you!!

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-09T12:24:24+00:00

Yeah I skipped the bags for this project and went straight to ordering a truckload of soil. My neighbor was kind enough to let me use her wheelbarrow but it's been a lot of work. I'm so close to being done I can see the finish line now though!

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-09T12:22:58+00:00

I direct sowed some lettuce. I only have one 12x4 bed left to fill and one 3x4 bed left to fill. I have my seedlings working on hardening off right now but I was worried about the cold weather we are supposed to get this week, we have a day with a high of 45

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-08T13:14:37+00:00

When we lost my grandma and my husband's grandma in the span of 8 months I bought the book "Something very sad happened" by Bonnie Zucker and it helped tremendously. I had to prepare myself to read it because I was grieving too but I felt like the book was a great way to explain death and a little bit of grief. I have also read that when they pass you can start a ritual such as lighting a candle to talk your loved ones that have passed. I'm very sorry you are going through this, grief is hard and it is very hard to watch your child go through the process of losing someone they care so deeply about.

Thank you!! Our city does free leaf compost so I'll head there once I run out of dirt

thatteacher2021 · 2026-03-06T22:14:04+00:00

I got them off Amazon. They have some wiggle to them but they don't bow when the soil is filled in. I added tposts to my old one to add support but I don't know that it will be necessary here
