Dypsis louvelli nice red new leaf

This one would have to one of my prized palms in the collection with only one, I still hesitate to plant it although iam pretty confident it will survive the cold. It’s just to rare for me at the moment, if it provides a few seeds I will plant it in the garden, although that’s what I should really do, is plant it in the ground to give it a better chance to set seeds. But one prize palm in the collection!

That job for the gardener is still open @happypalms. All the palms you can look at plus free accommodation and all you have to do is look after this palm for me. I can’t wait to plant it in the garden right at my front door I think.

Buddy with my health issues I can barely do anything right now. But I can talk to your plants and encourage them and admire them. And I dunno what's wrong with Sancho but now he's hobbling around on 3 legs but he'll sniff everything and walk around and be fascinated and he'll let you let him and watch TV with you.

Sancho and myself can watch dogs behaving badly television show. While you meditate in the greenhouse. Try green lip muscles for Sanchos arthritis.

My friend just ordered him some treats with hemp and glucosamine. I hope they help. Every time I take him to the vet, I always beg them not to remind me he's getting old 😭 He's been on prescription food for crystals in his weiner for a year now, he gets constipated, he's lost 2 teeth, now this... I'm honestly a little emotional over it.

Yes my cat had the same bladder infection twice the second time he got it, oh my the howls and screams that night at 3 in the morning it was an emergency trip to the vet and a $5000 dollar cat became my new best friend. Animals cannot tell us what is wrong and we are responsible for them until the that day arrives, i cannot understand how anyone could be cruel to an animal, it’s beyond belief to me. They are our best friends for life unconditional love bringing grown men and woman to their knees in tears I’ve seen it and  been there crying my eyes out as well. I know how you feel. There are true freinds!!!

Sancho doesn't howl. I was seeing one vet here in town and every time she'd do an ultrasound and give him some really harsh antibiotics - I had to wear gloves when I touched them, and she only had horse sized pills so I had to cut them up into 1/8s. I went and saw another vet the next county over, and they did blood work and X-rays and told me these crystals are a common problem in smaller dogs that have been neutered. His prescription food is more acidic to help dissolve them, and it's expensive so I give him normal food for breakfast and the prescription stuff for dinner. Since I moved back in with my family, he's spending more time with my mom. She adores him and means well but she'll feed him any and everything lol. I try to tell her that she's got to be careful because he's older, he's small, and his weight is a problem and she gets mad at me. I always feed Sancho when I take him in there, and he's pretty smart - he started hiding the empty cans of his prescription food so she'd think I didn't feed him and she'd give him another can.

She looks like a sweet kitty. I don't mind cats but there's just so many here it's overwhelming.
