Becoming and becoming

So much change in the air, here , there, and everywhere...becoming is becoming a focus.

This morning a butterfly is forming, just another way to use the simple triangle shape. I will stitch on this one today.  It is, amazingly,  a nothing much to do day for a change.  I might even take a nap.

suddenly wings

And look who feels better...

I think we made it.  I am exhausted and so is he, but we are here becoming "normal" again.

thinner but ok

They shaved his leg a bit at the vet, they had to sedate him even to get near him.  I cannot believe I got him into the carrier, but it was an emergency and  you never know what you can do when you need to.

This morning when I felt his paw on my cheek and no coughing, I knew he was back.

Of course he wants to go out but I think we'll wait on that for a while.

    The BEST news. I have a huge, relieved, happy grin plastered all over my face. Happy Happy day.
    Love your butterfly…transform and flyyyy 💙💙

    So very relieved & glad for you both. Soul-O is such a precious being. I think he now looks quite indignant at it all!! or confused?? Just not quite his usual sleek self as yet. It will come. Much love.

  3. Look at his eyes! You can tell his vitality is returning.

    Change. This summer has been wicked for it. And ripe for it. In my best moments, I’m excited and embracing it. I hope your threads are always enchanted.

    So many of us are walking parallel paths, close enough to say hey, look at this! But private enough, still, for what can’t be public yet.

      yeah, his energy is returning.
      Yes we are travelling together, with stories that may remain deeper than words. But we are one in so many ways.

  4. This is the best of news! Lola had an allergic reaction when she was stung and I ended up with a dosage for Benadryl in case in happened again (and it did). My experience has been that all the chemicals (from bees and medicines) take awhile to work through their system. So very glad for both of you and I hope you napped! Also, love the butterfly!

    I had missed that Soul-o was stung. What a shock for both of you.
    I’m happy that you can rest for a while.
    His recovery is enough.

    I’m am so glad to hear that Soul-o is feeling better. Hard for both Soul-o and you to have him not feeling his best.

    You really have both been through it, I so vividly remember a similar experience with my dog, and the relief when he started recovering. So happy to hear this news.

    So very relieved and happy Soul-O and you are better.
    I made the decision to keep ours indoors after an unfortunate incident. We all got used to it and I spend less time worrying now.

  9. Yay!!! Soul-O 🥰 I’m so happy for you two!!!
    Change IS in the air. Specific change. So much wrapped in HOPE and some personal change wrapped in apprehension, but change nonetheless.
    May all be well. May all be good and well.

    So good to see Soul-o on the mend. Hoping every day brings healing to you both. I love the quiet days; I find myself always redefining what “normal” means to me.

    SO happy to see Soul-o looking better! We lost our beloved Milo in early June to a bizarre, rare, soil-borne fungus (blastomycosis) that infected his leg. It kept getting worse and worse no matter what the vets tried. I thought by staying with my cats while they were outside that I was protecting them (and other creatures) from danger but so many unpredictable things out there.

    Relief is the most underestimated emotion! Given all that you’ve been going through, this special miracle is even more meaningful.
    Holding both you and Soul-o tenderly in my thoughts…

    Yip Yip Hip Hooraaaaaay!!!
    Kahlo & Bodhi (& I!!) are SO relieved to hear that Soul-O is on the mend!!
    Wheeee!!! 😅🎉😻😻😻
    A much deserved relaxing day to the both of you!!!
    💙😻💙😻💙😻💙😻💙

    Yay! Let’s hear it for the boy. He certainly does look perkier, maybe even a little indignant that anything would have the audacity to knock his legs out from beneath him like that. Whew! Sigh of relief.

  15. Elizabeth Godin

    Such glad news!
    You feel relief and Soul-O waking you with a thankful touch.
    Even I feel a hopeful .. for you restful low key day!
    My heart was heavy with Soul-O’s dazed stare. Glad he feels well enough to walk and stand. So encouraged that he is remembering his routine!
    Continued concern.

  16. I didn’t catch that SoulO was not feeling well. Glad it seems resolved.
    Hooray for “normal-ish”.
    The butterflies are thick here in the jungle out back.
    Yours looks ready to fly!

  17. Sarita

    So glad to hear Soul-o has turned a corner & healing.
    You & Soul-o are great companions to each other.
    The tenderness our animal friends have toward us is miraculous!
    Enjoy your nothing much to do…just be day!
    💖
