Today is a new era in Japan. The Heisei Emperor abdicated yesterday and his son was
enthroned today. The new era is known as Reiwa meaning peace and order. I always
thought that the name changed with a new emperor but according to my kids the names
would be changed for a variety of reasons. Once because an unusual turtle was seen and
another time because of a strange cloud formation!
On a personal level these past few weeks have been rather trying. Mama cat had five
kittens but only one has survived. It looks like they caught a cold and couldn't feed, so
they never grew. David spent over an hour trying to revive them but it didn't help.
The one that survived also had a cold, both David and I spent time suck mucus out of
its nose. Not nice. I sat up a couple of nights with it as well, trying to keep it warm and
feed kitten formula to it. We ended up with the black kitten, Alan, back in the vets for four days.
He still has kidney problems. When David picked him up he had to take Steven, the white cat and
Mama and baby. My vet bill is very high. Also we had to buy medicine for the dog.
Never mind, the animals bring a lot of joy to our home!
