Not A Good Week....

This past week was not a good one. My cousin's fiancee, Amber, was in a serious accident. She was driving home and was t-boned at 70 miles per hour. She was not seriously injured but lost some of her memories. She had a serious concussion, a broken wrist, pinkey and possibly a broken ankle. We are lucky she made it through the accident. We were all very shaken up.

Friday we put our cat, Fro, to sleep. It was a bad feeling. I miss her and it's weird not to have her around. K eep looking for her and then realizee that she isn't here.

Fro The Cat

Today I took Fro, our cat, to the Vet as she has been experiencing some elimination problems. This has been going on since January. She's been using a lot litter, upwards to $100 a month, due to frequent/heavy urination. Greg had her to the vet back in February and we were told that her problem is probably just behavior/stress related. We were advised to get her a happy feline pheremone diffuser ($25 a crack) which acts a lot like kitty prozac. This has helped mostly with the pooping outside the box, but the amount she is peeing is still a concern. So, to the vet we went. $217 later after some bloodwork and a urnie sample we are sent home to wait for results. Shes lost a few pounds since February 2-3 but the vet tech didn't record her weight last time we were in. I've weighed her and she is usually upward to 13#. She was barely 10# today. The vet thinks it's pretty likely that Fro has diabetes; and with that I feel that we will probably have to put her to sleep. This makes me sad.

I've been lacking blog posts lately. This is probably because we have really not done anything out of the ordinary. We did however, go to Denver Zoo on 5.29. It was a hot day but the kids, mostly Emily, seemed to enjoy the trip. We only were able to see one half of the zoo due to naptime approacing and the sheer size of the zoo. We make a point to go to the side of the zoo which housed birds and monkeys...Emily's favorite. This means we did not see my favorite zoo animal-Giraffes. I think Emily would have really liked them too. The total cost for the zoo was $20 becauase with Greg's AAA card $4 was discounted. Our friendly neighbors tell us to get Membership for $60 which would be useful. I did really enjoy the zoo; it was good to get out.

June is here and I have not looked aheaad to what she holds. I know that Greg will be gone four days to Wyoming for work. Besides that, I'm not sure whats going on. I'd sure like to take the kids back to the zoo. Maybe my neighbor Grandma will go with to help with the kids :)
