A Sad Day

Today was a sad day - the day Bwana left us for his new home. We weren't sure what day or time his new mother would call to come get him, so it kind of took us by surprise. Within 10 minutes of the phone call, she was here to pick him up. I was a basket case. As much as I wanted to find him a new home, I didn't realize how difficult it would be. I have to remind myself, "he's just a cat." Those of you cat-haters that are reading this, are probably finding it hard to be sympathetic. But, those of you that have had pets you adore and lost them or had to get rid of them, I'm sure you know what we're feeling. So, as pathetic as this sounds, Matt went to get me a movie and ice cream. Seems like a grand solution to feeling better about anything.

We really did love him. I feel bad that he needed to find another home. But, I'm excited to welcome our new addition, a little girl that will bring us much joy and fulfillment. And I'm sure will keep us busy!
