Fang

Oh, and Mommy forgot to update you on Tigger's progress. Daddy had to take him to the v-e-t for his next round of shots. He reacted badly to one a few back so he's getting them slower and with steriods. Since Mommy couldn't take him to this visit, Mommy sent Daddy with a list of things to report back:

1. How much does he weigh? 5 pounds (big kitten)

2. Are his ear mites gone because he still scratches at his ears? Yes they are.

3. Did he get his steriod shot with his vaccination? Yes.

4. Why does he have the ginormous fang on the bottom? When he lost all the baby teeth tumbling down the road and had to have the surgery, it made room for his adult fang. So he has a baby fang on one side and an adult fang on the other. But that's good news. It's just a little weird looking.

Mommy laughed and laughed when they picked her up from work and Daddy had Tigger in his PTU with a soft bed, a ton of toys and some kitty treats! Pretty spoiled kitten.

We're coping

So we are all very sad and miss Gandalf like crazy. Mommy cries all the time. Smoke and Tigger even seem to be finally getting along. But we are trying to be as normal as possible. So Mom went on her little trip to walk in the Race for the Cure. She and Auntie Val got a hotel room close to the race shuttle. They spent the evening visiting Auntie Michele, swimming in the hotel pool and just being silly. This morning, they walked the 5k in the Race for the Cure. It had been a goal of mom's all year. It was strangely anticlimatic when you consider that she pretty much walks a 5k or more several times a week but it's still a great event and it made her think alot about life.

While she was walking, Daddy and Mommy's daddy went fishing together (male bonding). So Mommy got the bonus of some alone time when she got home from the race. She put together her goals for this week: one of which is to download all the cute pictures she's taken of all of us including this one of Tigger on the hammock under a work table in her craft room. All together now ... Aaahhh! Isn't he cute?

Gandalf has gone to the Bridge

I hate to report this. In fact, it's just about killing me. But this morning we discovered that Gandalf has gone to the Bridge. He didn't come in when I called him last night. He was hit by a car sometime during the night.
