So I took Boaz to the vet and discovered that the de-wormer I gave him yesterday morning has made his blood toxic. As a side effect he has muscle tremors and loss of coordination, it can even lead to seizures. So they bring me a list of possible actions we can take ranging in cost from 350 to 500 dollars, neither of which are in my budget range. As I stood there looking at the list a slight tinge of panic rose up in my throat. I thought he is just a cat and I could take him home and hope for the best and not do anything. But as I looked at him and thought of all that we have gone through together I knew that wasn't a choice. He is like my kid and I would do everything in my power to make sure my child was okay so I am going to do the same for him. Plus, I don't think I could bear the thought of losing him and not trying everything possible to save him. So needless to say, I will have to tighten my belt this month and probably survive on Ramen Noodles until next payday, in the middle of February, but I have to make sure my baby is okay.

Hope Boaz is doing better. You definitely take better care of your pet-kids than we do of ours. I felt real guilty when Buddy got so sick last Summer and it was totally our fault.
