Ouray Colorado, 4th of July....who's going?

Not a good time for kitties! We had a brother and sister and Tom died last fall. He got terribly ill very suddenly. Died 2 days later. His sister is now showing similar signs and symptoms so she may not make it through the week. Both were roughly 10 years old and strictly indoors. Then last Spring we had a GSD puppy that died from Parvo! Can't catch a break! Now we have a new kitten that we have had for about a month and our other GSD pup (little over a year old). Hopefully Katie (the girl cat) will make it. Saline injections seem to be helping with her appetite thus she is eating and has strength. We'll see. sad times regardless...I hate seeing the wife depressed.

It's with great sadness that I post that we will not be able to make our annual trek to Ouray this week. Our cat of 13 years has become very ill with what vet thinks is pancreatitis, a very nasty tricky disease to cure. He has lost about half his body weight and needs daily meds. We just didn't feel right leaving him alone for several days given his current state of health. It's very hard to accept that we will not make the trip as I look forward to this trip every year and it's the highlight of the year. Anyway, I hope you guys have a safe fun trip. We don't know how long our cat will be with us so we are spending as much time at home as we can.

Very sorry to learn the family pet is so ill and will keep you from the trip. For those of you going to Ouray this weekend it's always a fun trip over Imogene to Telluride on the 4th. They have a Doo-Dah parade that usually includes a fly over by F-16's from Buckley and sometimes WWII warbirds. The parade is way cool with lots of bikers. Happy 4th!

That's a bummer to hear about your cat! I too am a cat lover. I lost my cat (Paws) about 6 months ago. He was 17yo. I was in Texas at work and he was in Cali with the wife. He went down hill fast. Broke my heart to not be there! I'm like you, if he is fighting to be with you , you might as well be with him. Good luck!
I'll see ya soon Paws!

Sorry to hear of Paws passing. Great that you had 17 years with him. We don't have any kids so Leo is an important member of the family and worth sticking around for.

Cool shot! We were up near the top of one of the passes one year when we saw the fighter jets roar by and go through the canyon. That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen and felt for that matter

Yes sir. I understand that. My wife have been together for 17 years, married 10 and I brought home Paws about 2 months in. He was something else. He would meet me at the door everyday I came home. He was my best mate for 17 years!
The funny thing is that he passed on a Friday and the wife and I found out we were pregnant in the next Wednesday. How life is awesome!
 
So here are a few pics of the festivities in Ouray, the lighted up jeep parade pics did not come out.

Looks like you guys had some good fun while in Ouray, CO. I haven't been there, but have always wanted to go. I was stationed at Ft. Polk also. I was a Platoon Sergeant of a scout platoon in 2nd ACR. It's a pretty good drive from LA. to Ouray, CO. Glad to see you made it ok.

We ran a lot of scenic trails in the mountains and went to Montrose for some serious Rock Crawling.
