Poor Callie

Our poor kitty went to the vet today. She is an outdoor kitty so we were a bit worried about her running away with the move. We planned to visit Leon for the night in his hotel room. So Callie boarded at the vets while we were gone.

She also needed to get all of her vaccines. Well, the vet called very concerned for Callie's health. She's gotten so skinny and the vet didn't want to give her the shots. She would not metabolize them well. She is a bit concerned that Callie may be in renal failure. She also thinks Callie is much older than we originally thought. She came to us as an adult and we never really knew how old she was. But she has been our kitty for over 5 years and we've grown rather attached to her.

It is just really bad timing. So many sudden changes for our family. The kids were taking the news pretty hard. I just can't seen spending the kind of money it would require to treat our poor kitty if she is does have a kidney disease.

We decided to bring her home and see if we couldn't fatten her up a bit. We'll give her a few weeks. If she hasn't gained any weight, then we may have to put her down.

She's still a very silly cat. And is not behaving like she is sick at all.

She did pout for after her dr visit and ran off for a few days. But she is back now and seems pretty adjusted from the move.

"Go See It"

Our Webelos den went on a field trip.

We were supposed to meet the mayor of Creedmoor. Unfortunately the mayor was called away to a meeting. The Mayor Pro Tem filled his place.

He let the boys take turns sitting at the mayors desk so it was all good.

Ishmael happened to be sitting in the mayor's seat. So he got to lead the meeting. He was so excited about that. It was all he could talk about when he got home.

Doesn't he look just so precious?!

Dropping Leon Off

Leon started his new job. We took him out to the hotel (about an hour and a half away) and spent the day together. Originally we were supposed to drop him off at the bus station. This was MUCH better.

Joshua was testing the beds out for Daddy.

We went out for dinner. I-HOP is a real treat for us. The kids love Shoney's but the one near us was shut down and an Italian restaurant took it's place. Breakfast for dinner is a Baker Family Favorite.

That drive home was the saddest and longest hour and a half I've ever driven.
