How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Today got up a very steep, very sandy hill. Couldn't do it before. Started fresh in the morning. Loose sand can be very tough to walk in. Got past it, found some grass to walk in, cut across, made it to the top. Great views of the Pacific on one side, Santa Cruz Mountains to the north, Monterey Bay and Monterey to the south, a local peak to the east. Getting down was easier, just dug our heels into the sand. Plan to go up that hill once a week.

Physically, 2021 started good, ended good. In between, specifically 3 May to 3 June, hardest time of my life physically. Three spinal surgeries, one ambulance ride, two hospitalizations, and a shitload of agonizing pain, during that 30-day period. But in the end, with a lot of help and support from many people, including KFers, made it through. Just took things one day at a time, never quit, never gave up. The pieces of my life I lost quickly with the onset of sciatica I got back one at a time, but got them back.

When, not if, you get hit with a life-threatening or life-damaging condition, just keep plugging away. Never quit, never give up. Take it one day at a time. Pay attention to what your body says, never hesitate to tell the doctor what's going on or express your concerns.

Always be the captain of your own ship. Always know greatness lies within you, all you need do is bring it out.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year and a great 2022.

Fuckin awful. My cat, Arthur, got diagnosed with feline leukemia and vet recommended euthanasia now. Poor guy was only 3, feral rescue so he was born with it or got it before weaning.

I'm sorry for your loss. My cat had a brain lesion and stage 4 kidney failure. There was no way they could save her. It sucked saying goodbye too.

Some customer who said she reported me to head office wished a colleague Merry Christmas, I muttered at the back counter "i hope you dont, i hope you have a real shit christmas"
next day she came in with a lost dog poster. I didn't feel bad but it made me think.

My cat died yesterday. It sucks. I still feel sad, but I know I have to move on eventually. I will always love and miss her though.

I still think about my cat and it died nearly 10 years ago. It really, really sucks.

****

My new years resolution is to sort my fucking life out. When you're unironically looking up suicide support groups for company you have to take a long, hard look at your self and think what the fuck went wrong.

The person that was supposed to take care of my pets while I was away for vacation forgot to take care of my frog and now he is dead. I know frogs are very fragile and are notorious for dying over the easiest things, but this really sucks.

Here is the last picture I had of him. He always got dirty from hiding under the dirt/moss so every time he soaked he made his bowl look hella gross. I'm gonna miss my little cheeseburger. I know he was just a frog but I've always been very attached to all my pets.

All the people here who have an undying love of pets, make sure to make a 2022 resolution to try and connect with humans a bit more. You are all candidates for the crazy cat person bad ending.

Nigger, I am going to build a compound in Wyoming and teach mountain lions to hunt rainbow flags. And there's nothing you can say to convince me that's the "bad ending"

like null I'm sipping champagne and listening to auld lang syne. I never really liked or cared for new years. Just hope that things will stay as they are both on and offline. Could be better could be worse hope they stay at least...as they are. Fine and livable, that's all i ask.

Happy new years kiwifarms here's hoping next month brings us a good winter windfall since it's Chris's big 40 and his countince in jail

I am so sorry for your loss, and for everyone else's pet losses in this thread as well. I just wanted to comment on this one because I lost my own kitten to feline leukemia a long time ago and it still hurts, I still cry over that loss a lot, she wasn't even a year old when we had to say goodbye. It hurts so, so bad to lose a cat to something like that, when there's nothing you can do about it and they're so young. I wish you the absolute best and I hope our kittens are having fun playing over the rainbow bridge somewhere. 💜

I'm gonna go have a little cry now and hug my cats. I hope everyone is having a nice New Years'!
