Tyler

Tyler has also grown to be a beautiful cat. Now 7 months old, he's a lovable, big baby. From a kitten that took forever to tame,

to a momas boy, and an Andy's boy. He sleeps by my pillow, touches my hand during the night to get some extra pets and belly rubs, and follows Andy like a puppy dog! Like he is here, Tyler loves to lay on the back of my chair when I'm sitting down.

I'm so happy this two monster Toms are in my life. They bring added fun and enjoyment to our home.

A Picture Says a Thousand Words

I've never made any bones about my feelings towards our vet, Bart Meadows. Just now Ken and I received this beautiful bouquet from him and his staff. He's truly special.

We Say Good-bye

Today is a very sad day for Ken and I, Lucy passed away. She was improving, then suddenly went on a rapid decline. Doctor Meadows, our vet, called to say it was time to let her go. Ken went to be with her, but by the time he got to her, she was gone.
This little girl was the light of our lives. We're so going to miss her sweet personality and disposition, her quirky, funny habits, her big brown eyes, and constant love and companionship she offered to both of us. We will forever be thankful to Doctor Meadows and the Animal Hospital of Lakeport staff, who gave their all, and their time to help Lucy. Words can't even express our gratitude. Even with his own surgery on the other side of the state, Bart kept in contact with us as his staff updated him daily with her progress. We'll never forget what they've done.
It's going to take a long time to get over losing our little Lucy, but I know she's now out of pain, and running with her mother in Heaven.
Good-bye sweetheart. We'll always love you.

Thanksgiving, Time for Family

Thanksgiving this year was awesome! Eight families gathered to celebrate, eat, watch football, eat, nap, eat, watch movies, eat.......well you get the picture!

We always celebrate my birthday on Thanksgiving, and this year Kayla decorated my cake. Didn't she do the greatest job!? Thank-you Kayla!

Our little Preston is 6 months old today! Time goes so fast, he's the best natured baby ever. The only time you'll hear him cry, is when he's hungry. Other than that, he's all smiles!

Jenna on Thanksgiving overload! Her pink piggy, which never leaves her side, was her comfy pillow. Sweet Dreams!
I hope all of you also had a wonderful day!

All Grown Up

My little Toby is all grown up! From this little baby,

To this big bruiser!

I'll post Tyler tomorrow!
In the mean time, I want to wish all of you, my dear blog family, a Wonderful Thanksgiving! Enjoy the meal!
