Weigh-in

I went in yesterday for a "fill" in my lap-band. I've lost almost 50 pounds so far! Soooo exciting! I bought some new clothes this weekend but still need more. Not much that I have still fits! Woohoo!

Ophelia

The last few weeks have been hard. On May 3rd we had to put my sweet kitty Ophelia to sleep. She was 16 years old. I'd been worried about her of late but she still seemed like herself. She was still eating and drinking and pooping and all of that good stuff. But Saturday she was laying in the hall and I could just tell something wasn't right. I picked her up and held her and just cried and cried. Brandon called the vet and they said to bring her in right away. We didn't have anyone to keep Brenna on such short notice so I wasn't able to go with her. I told Brandon when he left that I thought she'd had a stroke and the vet said the same thing. He stayed with her until it was all over and that made me feel better knowing she wasn't alone. It was probably for the best that I wasn't there, I would have been sobbing uncontrollably I know.

Morrison, our dog, was at the groomer when all of this happened. When he came home I think he could tell something was different. He seemed sad for several days. I think he's still looking for her, he goes to the places where she would sleep and looks for her. It breaks my heart.

I still want to cry whenever I think about it. I know she had a good life and she was loved very much.
