A.K.A. the only thing I could eat and not feel sick after crying and mourning my cat all afternoon. :(

Fortunatly, Patrick and Nikki had a bunch on neighbours over for a get together. We watched a documentary about Whippet cookies. These cookies used to be manufactured where we all live now. It was a lot of fun and made me forget about my cat for a while.

This has been a rough week. My cat has been sick for a long time and Saturday was the date she was going to the vet to be sent to kitty heaven. I've been dealing with this as best as I can, but it's really hard. How do you say goodbye to a pet you've lived with for 14 years? The only way I could think of was to spoil her rotten.  So I gave her foie gras pâté and an oyster for dinner.
