Poor old Fudge is having surgery again today since a lump of cancer is growing back where it was growing before. There is not as much this time but they are going to be more aggressive with the surgery to make sure it doesn't grow back. While we were there though the vet still seemed amazed at how old Fudge is and how healthy he is for his age. I suspect Fudge being an indoor cat helps but both him and Boots are old men now that seem to just keep going. They are slower and sleep more than they used to but are still with us. It is hard to remember a time when they weren't here. They are such a part of our lives along with the other three.
Other than my wife I don't think anyone else has been such a big part of my everyday life since I was growing up. Even with my parents I only remember the time from being a toddlerish age to being a teenager where I wanted to do my own things and not spend time with them. I've spent so much time with Fudge and Boots that it will be so strange when they are not part of my life. Still Fudge will be back with us this afternoon and get to wear his cone of annoying licking sound again (Fudge doesn't really get the fact that licking the cone doesn't lick the fur underneath). I'm sure he will be well looked after and fussed over for weeks to come until the cone comes off and he is running around again and snuggling with us on the sofa.
