Day 162 - June 11

This morning, we had to say goodbye to Sneakers.  Moments after doing his daily 5:30am run around and up and over and back up and back down and around again with Moose, (meowing all the while), he had a bad episode.  We took him to the 24 hour emergency vet and the tests sadly showed it was time. 

We can only hope that all of our pets live just about 17 years and are only sick for a couple hours, right?  It was still hard.  Moose even seems a little out of sorts. 

This picture was actually taken a couple years ago.  Since Sneakers didn't actually know that he was really old, he didn't act like it.  This day, he jumped up on the half wall in the foyer of the old house.  Then he climbed on to the top of the TV, balanced himself on top of the open front door (we had a storm door back then, so the door was open a lot) and then walked onto the window sill of the window above the door.  It was really funny.  It happened so fast that I almost didn't have time to grab the camera, which explains the awful blurry shot. 

In better news, I went to a 5th grade graduation today for a former student. It was super cute and awesome to see him so proud of himself! :)
