Happy With Hugo

Events of 29th June 2015

Hugo behaving like a retard. He doesn't really stop for cuddles much anymore and instead its go, go, go.

NEW TOYS!!!

He's adorably affectionate and so expressive.

So adorable

Tomorrow is his last dose of medication and then its a game of wait and see as to whether his flu comes back.

Tentatively making a date for his family to pick him up on the 8th of July.

Began the transition of Hugo to kitten dine food instead of the prescription AD so when he does go home he's on something that he'll readily eat.

Find myself looking forward to the day Hugo goes home so I can stop worrying about him relapsing.

At the same time when he goes my room will be silent without Leo.

On the 1st of July Hugo got sprung from quarantine and allowed to roam the lounge. He enjoyed some new things to investigate and new people to cuddle immensely. I see that adorable little prance in his step that he had when he was in the adoption rooms is coming back.

He is still sneezing and may sneeze for weeks or months ahead but he seems to be over the worst of it.

I am eternally grateful that Carolyn offered to let me keep Hugo. I had considered it several times. In the end it was clear Hugo had chosen Carolyn's family and she wouldn't find a kitten as confident and adaptable as him for a long time.

Me on the other hand. I needed the time to come to terms with Leo being gone. I wanted to give him that respect. Maybe next season I'll have a foster that tugs at my heart strings. Maybe it will take quite a while to find the new kitten I couldn't bear to part with.

Hugo was never mine. He did help with the grieving process and made me feel like the chain of events that led me to losing Leo happened for a reason. If I didnt have my room free to quarantine Hugo I probably would have had to say no. If Hugo hadn't had the intense TLC I'd put into him during those first few weeks maybe it would have been his life that was cut short.

The Weenies are going through a bout of diarrhea. If it persists they'll be put on a probiotic. Seems every litter I have ends up going through a bout of the runs. *sigh*
