Our Week

Wow....What an eventful week. Last Friday we had the joy of a baby being born into the family. Then, on Saturday, Dane left for 9 days in Switzerland. Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights we were blessed with the baby (and his parents) being here. Sunday Monkey disappeared, Thursday he returned again extremely dehydrated and under weight, Friday he went to the vet, and he died early Saturday morning. Very, very sad day in our household. He was Cory's companion for 12 years. Today, Cory adopted a lhasa apso. He can't replace Monkey, but he wanted a furry animal to come home to after a day at work. Tomorrow I go to the airport to pick Dane up. And Wednesday Pooh Bear gets fixed, and Biggie gets the final operation on his leg. Wow....

Monkey Died

Think too much....

Brittany says I think too much.....



JOY! Monkey has returned....actually he never left. Monkey is Corys 12 year old cat. He disappeared Sunday and by last night we were fearing the worse since he is never gone more than 24 hours at a time. As I was laying on the sofa with Nick I was praying that God bring Monkey back tonight if he is still alive....and Cory woke up in the AM to find that Monkey had been hiding on the "other side" of the basement!!! (scarey place the other side....). Apparaently he isn't feeling well, lost some weight for sure. OK....so the thinking part...it has to do with a young man who is in a coma. Right now he has sores in his mouth...and people are praying for them to disappear. I am so grateful that God answered my prayer for a cat, but then I think that maybe all my efforts should be given to people. Hard to explain what I mean, maybe I'll come back to this post later. In the meantime, heres a pic of Cory with Monkey taken about a year ago.
