It's been about 3-weeks
& I still haven't told the "story."
So, here it is:
while in SanDestin, Memorial Day weekend
& Ashlyn's birthday,
we lost our dear Emma.
William came out on Saturday
& when we came home on Tuesday,
we couldn't find her,
& we realized her food had not been touched.
We hoped, we looked, we called all the neighbors & we prayed
that she would return to us.
Exactly one week later,
around 9:45 PM, sitting in our kitchen,
we hear the terrifying howls of our sweet Bella.
Bella is Ashlyn's 2-year old Chihuahua.
William ran outside
& immediately headed for the woods.
Sadly, we were too late.
We have something hunting our woods
& we're not sure if it's coyote or a bobcat.
Needless to say,
we're certain Emma won't be returning either.
The week was hard for us,
losing 2 beloved animals in one week
& Ashlyn's bf getting a new kitten.
She put on a brave face though
& only cried once she got home.
We were NOT in the market for any more.
That's 3 heartbreaks this year
& I honestly can't take anymore.
We're down to Molly (12) & Deacon (11)
& they're content to rule the house again.
Then, my sister called
to tell me about some orphaned kittens.
Who can resist orphaned kittens?
Apparently not us!!
We ended up bringing this sweet thang home
& promptly named her Macy.
Isn't she the cutest thing?
She's a gorgeous white w/grayish/silvery tips
& light blue eyes & a sweet temperament.
We've had her one-week
& she's approximately 7-weeks old now.
And, YES,
we're taking extra safeguards
around the house now.
NONE of the animals are allowed out after dusk
& we monitor the use of the doggy door.
I finally finished all my Father's Day cards & gifts.
I used 2S4U's sketch for the first one
& the CPS 120 sketch for the second one.
Almost used up all this paper!!
so I'm taking a rest before I head to the kitch.
I hope your Father's Day
is wonderful & filled with love & laughter.
I know our's will be,
because we have the best daddy/husband in the world!!
