Tucker Passes On & Calle Comes To Join the Family

Today we had to put Tucker down. He was my cat of 13 years. He helped me so much. He helped me so much emotionally. He had a nasal tumor and couldn't breathe. He couldn'[t eat, drink, climb or do any of the things he liked to do. It broke my heart.


We took  Tucker in to the vet at 9:00 this morning. My step-daughter wanted to be there, when we put Tucker down. They bonded, and got along well. We talked to the vet and gave us our options. I told the vet that emotional right now I thought I could handle it. They asked if we wanted to watch. I said I did. I wanted to be with Tucker through this experience. We were all there and talked to Tucker as Tucker entered the next life. It was peaceful and done very well.

We didn't want to go on just having one cat. We thought having another cat for Snowflake would be helpful. So we went to our friend John and got Calle a 7-week old Calico Female. She is darling. Hopeful Snowflake will warm up to her eventually.

SYDNEY

Sydney my 18 year old Step-Daughter moved in with Neill and I. She will be going to ISU in the Fall in the Culinary Arts Program. She is also at ITT Tech. She is wanting to do Forensic Science their.

It has been interesting having an 18 year old around. She is a wonderful girl. We've been looking into jobs for her. Actually she's been doing it. As well as trying to get her an I.D. We've been going 100 miles an hour. But it's been wonderful. Trying to help Sydeny get started on this new part of her life.

I guess this is  a new chapter in Neill's and my life as well having our daughter live with us instead of visit us. It is a good feeling. I'll keep in touch and let you know how things are going.
