Why so much Sadness?

I hope you all don't think I'm silly, but children need to grieve no matter what the circumstance. My girls have had a bad week and I'm afraid next week won't be any better.

This is our kitty, "Bob". He was a bob-tailed cat. His father was that way and he was born that way so we named him, Bob. It seemed fitting.

He loved his pillows my girls made for him.

He loved my girls and brought them so much joy.

He found silly places to sleep...


and made us laugh all the time.

He was a great playmate...

and didn't mind a little torture now and then.

He even loved to snuggle.

Unfortunately being a mouser isn't always good. Our neighbors keep rat poison in their basement. So we think he got a mouse that got the rat poison. Jeremy found him upstairs barely hanging on so we rushed him to a vet that was open. They could have tried to help him, but the damage was done and he was already having neurological trouble, and we could have racked up a $500.00 bill (that wasn't happening) so as we told the girl "We had the Dr. give him some medicine to take his pain away and Bob died. Their hearts are broken and they had their own little funeral today. I have been under the weather so I only got one picture.

This blog is for all the pet lovers. Love your pet while you have them. They are not "just" a cat or "just" a dog they are God's creatures and probably one of your children's best friends or as Heidi would say, "Bob you're my best fwiend."






THANK YOU, BOB!

On a more serious note I am almost 7 weeks pregnant. I am having complications and have had lots of blood drawn and many ultrasounds. It has been brought to our attention we may lose this baby. We were trying to buy a house, that fell through. Our kitty just died and now we may have our first miscarrage. Satan seems to really be attacking in any way he can. I'm staying strong for my girls. We don't know for sure yet and we don't need to upset them any sooner than nessessary. Things just don't look good. The Dr. can see the sac, but no baby. I have another Ultrasound on Friday. I will try to keep you all posted. Please keep us in your prayers. We only want God's will for us no matter what that may bring.
