Blue-eyed Sukie RIP

The Hubster & I are heartbroken tonight after we had to let our eldest and sweetest tempered kitty go to a better place early this morning.

 

She started having seizures at 4am and was left blind and distressed. After a few very sad hours, we decided we owed it to her not to let her suffer after all the love she has given us for 10 years. The night Gary was in hospital last November, she slept on my pillow with her paw on my shoulder for hours comforting me, something she'd never done until that night, she was very special.

We will miss our blue-eyed Sukie, she was with us through almost our whole relationship and we loved her so much. We are a sad family tonight, including the other 3 kitties, after losing one of our own, trying to adjust to not having her and her funny little ways around anymore.

Unrednecking day!

My redneck porch as of 01/28/13

 

After a straight 7 days and a few evenings at work, I am finally home for the day and January was supposed to be our quiet month at work haha.

 

One of the main reasons I decided to stay home is because I will not enter February with Christmas decorations still on my front porch, and so today is the day I 'unredneck' myself! It helps that we are going to get close to 80 degrees here today, but that also makes it all the more embarrassing that I still have my porch bedecked in Christmas.

 

Unfortunately I think the christmas lights all around the house may make it into February as I need the Hubster to get those down with me. But come snow, wind or rain, they are also coming down this Saturday.

 

Mind you, now I am a fully fledged gun owner, spent my weekend running a gun show and can't wait to go target shooting tomorrow evening, all hope may already be lost for me!

 

Anybody else showing their redneck tendencies?
