Pippy Purrs Again!

We had a chance to visit the hospital again this afternoon and get an update on Pippin's progress. All-in-all, a very positive visit!


He was much more active this time; moving around the table, trying to jump at the birds outside, and leaping from our arms onto the table. Now, it's good to see him active, but he's doing this with an IV in one paw and a belly bursting open!

He was also starving for affection. He snuggled into our laps rolling around to find the optimal petting position, while rubbing his face on every inch of our clothes. We even heard a soft purr rumbling from his belly.... a good sign that things are healing nicely!


It was great to see our Pippy start to come back to life!



Unfortunately it is not likely that Pippin will be home tomorrow. As the vet stated "he ate a little bit, but not as much as we were hoping for". Hopefully tomorrow Pippy will prove them wrong, and he'll be home by the evening.



And we would also like to thank everyone that has donated to the "Pippy Recovery Fund". Your generosity is helping ease the burden of the costs for this surgery. We never imagined that we would have such a positive response from Pippy's friends!

Also, someone recently asked me on how we're doing towards the fund. Well, we didn't really have a specific goal in mind considering that we really didn't expect much.... and we're still not sure on the total cost, but based on the estimate, we've raised (along with the help of many others) about 15% of the total bill..... and that's 15% more than we thought we would receive!

Your humbled (and exhausted) friends,
