This is a snap of Henry and Mimi. Henry is the guy on the left, and Mimi on the right. They've pretty much been inseparable in the time that I've known them.
We had to say good-bye to Mimi today. Over the weekend, her breathing became so laboured it was painful to watch and to hear. There was really nothing we could do for her; so in the end, we did what we could. And that was to ease her off into the next world.
Doug had a colonoscopy scheduled this morning, but I called the vet's office when they opened. They said 3:15, and we were there. The staff and vets at Port Perry Animal Hospital are great. The whole episode was handled with the utmost of caring and concern for all involved.
Mimi is buried in a sun beam, overlooking the lake. We'll be getting a statue to mark her spot.
So now Henry will get our attention and love. Summer is the best time to be a kitty; there's plenty of sunshine and chipmunks to hunt. I hope that Mimi is off somewhere running free and breathing easily; and that she knows we loved her.

I'm sorry about your kitties. :(
Oh, Carol, I am so sorry...
Pets are fantastic friends. I know how much I would miss my Sadie cat and how sad it was a few years back to make the decision for my two dogs when their time came.
I plan to post the first pictures of Jude's surprise jacket later today. I want her to try on the upper sleeve and back/decrease section before I go any further. The pictures of Barb's sweater and the one the lady was wearing in your shop look fine with the original sleeve, but it seems very shallow before blocking. I'll be down around August 14th for our annual trip to the Picton area, and if all fits well I hope to have the sweater done by the third week in Sept., my Lindsay fair trip down. Thanks for holding on to the yarn for me; dear EZ is delightfully vague about how much yarn the sweater may take.
