Friends...it has been a challenging month. On top of the sudden loss of our sweet kitty, Cannoli, on Oct. 7, the other two cats got the same virus he got. 🦠 This all started on 9/22, and we're still dealing with it today with our Blizzard. (Cleo only got over it [hopefully] about a week ago.) 🐈⬛️
I'm emotionally and physically drained, and my heart is broken 💔 over Cannoli and concerned over the persistence of the virus that tormented all three of them. So...I haven't posted much because I'm just plain tired. But I'm still here, thankfully.
In all that's happened, I've seen blessings in friends and family who check in to see how I'm holding up and a workplace that cares, is flexible, and knows pets matter too. The Lord's hand is present even in difficult times. 🙏
Aaaaaand...since today was another challenging day, it's a whoopie-pie-for-dinner kinda night thanks to my sweet friend, Embellish by Kelly Miller! 🩷 Kelly, just so you know, it was 😋!!!
