MERLIN ABELARD......SUFFERING FROM INCESSANT BOUTS WITH SEIZURES........I'M FREAKED OUT! MERLIN HAS BEEN MY BEAUTIFUL COMPANION SINCE HE WAS A FEW WEEKS OLD....AND, NOW....SIGH!




after ten seizures in the past 24 hours.....he refuses both water and any form of sustenance......labored breathing, foaming at his mouth and with crusty eyes.....spasms have been increasing, overnight.....sensitive to light and sound, I've held him, wrapped in a blanket, during his convulsions....10 1/2 years is just too young to die!

i'm 'back in the saddle' this afternoon...now that Merlin seems to be 'on the mend'.....ravenously hungry, and....already putting some weight on,....NO seizures since I've been feeding him only shredded raw steak.....no trip to the Vet! He's been alternating 'eating', 'lap-sitting', and napping on the warm iron floor heating vents much of today........the old Eclipse is, again, 'up and running', too, after a trip to Pep Boys, yesterday.......I'm feeling waaaay more optimistic.......thanks, again, for helping me 'get the lead out', yesterday afternoon.......Michael!

My chest heaves with Merlin aboard, purring, nose running, in contentment.......and, for now, this must be enough.......A romantic youth, I deamt and longed for the most intimate and trusting Love......In waning, and weaning of this futility, I have both lowered platonic expectations and raised the value of my heart.......Love dwells, intact, in the clouds of dreams and art........what other mortals, who move to the beat of their heart's palpitations, feel and desire, I know little of...
