The time has come...

I made an appoitment today to have patches put to rest, on Wednesday May 28th. His weight is dwindling away, hes loosing control of his bodily functions, puking all the time, and such horrible labored breathing constantly. I had warned the kids this was coming and today after school told them the news, explained what would happen. Kayla and Kyler want to be there, Brittany is still thinking about it. We have left the decision up to them completely. Im sure Patchie will be getting alot of cuddles in the next two days. :(

Sad news about our beloved Patches...

Patches has Lung Cancer. He has been sick for quite some time, and after vet visits and alot of tests, its the only conclusion we can come up with. Its seems hes getting worse quicker and the poor guy is trying so hard to be so happy. We got patches from a pet store when he was only about 8 wks old. He will be 7 years old this November. Here is a recent picture of our little buddy.

Its warm enough for my sundress!!

Especially if I sit infront of the heat register :)

I hate being sick!!

Well I thaught I had made it clear of the flu while all around me in the house had a bout of it in some form or another, but not me, couldnt get that lucky. I spent 2 hrs awake and in the bathroom the other night - MIDDLE of the night, and wouldnt you know it, I hadnt gotten to cleaning that bathroom in awhile, YUCK! It was one of those horrible situations where you had the bucket and the toilet and you couldnt decide which you were going to use for what. Yesterday I had a "funny" tummy all day, this morning so far im feeling pretty good so far. Lets hope thats the end of that!!!

I love the weekend

We had a great weekend. Yesterday we all (except Brittany, she hurt her ankle) went garbage collecting to fundraise for the towns new mountain bike park. When we were finished, we all cleaned up and I spent a couple hrs laying on a blanket on the front deck reading the rest of my novel, in the sunshine, watching the kids play outside. Ahhhh, I needed that. Today looked really promising early this morning, and although it was quite warm today, the sun never came out fully. We spent today doing the usual weekend housecleaning and laundry chores. And even though Laundy is NOT my most favorite thing to do, I love to just putter around the house. Well off I go to have a little cuddle with hubby :)
