Thank you for asking.



I'm still shlepping along. I think I'm doing just fine and then, out of the blue, I start to cry. Happened Tuesday on the way home from work, happened a couple of nights ago. I think part of it is that I feel responsible for ending SkuShi's life. I know, I know, we must make those decisions however I keep telling SkuShi in my heart that I'm so sorry.



I waited for over two weeks before calling the breeder to tell her I lost my baby girl because I thought I could hold it together. I got TJ's answering machine and left a message and guess what? I didn't hold it together at all. I blubbered like a baby.



Chris seems to be doing very well. He's back to his "only child" status and is eating better, drinking better, and his litter box habits are more regular. Go figure. This is why, when we lose Chris, I will get littermates; introducing a new cat to Chris was very stressful for him.



I'm being very intentional about remembering the good and fun things about SkuShi; when she'd dig into the bathroom garbage to find Q-Tips to play with, when she'd chase her tail and gnaw on it, the way she'd jump so high to catch the feather toy, her pretty face, her buzzy purr. Lord, I loved that girl!
