Cloudy with a Sunny Side

A sad day. Another one of our cats had to be put to sleep. They are all getting infected with a terrible disease called Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). There is no vaccine and it's 100% fatal. This time it was Anastasia's cat, Ferdinand. He was fine over the weekend. As soon as I saw him today, I knew it was time. I felt so sorry for the girls. The worst thing is never knowing which cat it will hit next. It really gives me the perspective of enjoying and loving them (and everyone) while we have the chance.

We'll miss you Ferdinand!

When we got home from the vet, we had a package at our front door! We were so cheered up! Thank you so much Valerie!!! 

These special chocolates are from a chocolate factory in Cleveland. They were so delicious and creamy. I may have eaten several of the bunnies today. Grief therapy. I was so happy to see Anastasia smile!

All of my favorites!

Thank you Valerie for bringing some joy to our day!

Really, Francesca! You think you are getting the whole bag?!  By the way, Francesca has found a way to get into mischief even with her casts on. I like to call it the "sweep and destroy" technique. One more week until we rip those casts off!
