When the Cat's Not Away..

...He will Play! We caught BoBo having his way with the leftover Mrs. Paul's delicicies we had for dinner one night in February. Naughty Kitty!

Long Time No Post!

What a blogging slacker I have been for the last few months! Well, let's be honest it now amounts to an entire season. So I will just consider it a summer hiatus and do my darndest to get back on track archiving this family's daily dramas.



My true confession is that a sad event in our house was the trigger for the hiatus. In June our sweet Mandy got very sick and passed away. This was a tough one for Michael and I since Miss Mandy was in many ways our first baby - albeit a very furry one. It is also impossible to adequately explain this to Hayden. He still feels that she is lost or that the vet just needs to try again. After all, that is how it works in his world. How often do we tell him to just keep trying and things will work out? It's a challenge to convey to a preschooler that sometimes despite your best efforts that is not possible. At the same time, I love that he still has that kind of innocence and hope it lasts for some time to come.



On a lighter note, Bailey is just fine because she still has BoBo to scream at. How lovely to be that young and distractible! What a shame that it isn't so charming to be 35 and distractible... haha. And of course, poor BoBo!



Here's one of my favorite picks of our felines back in the day....
