Thoughts out to a friend

[feren]

Many of you know that over that last decade I have endured several touch-and-go periods with Ra, where Ra became very sick and I wasn't sure he would still be with me the next day. Two years ago lady_curmudgeon and I had to put down one of her cats, Smudge, after Smudge suffered renal and liver failure. Because of this I'm always sensitive to when a friend's beloved pet is having health worries. Tonight, I send my thoughts and my best wishes to urocyon, as his elder pooch had emergency surgery today for a twisted stomach. I'm hoping for her to pull through tonight and make a recovery....
