It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
Today was not a happy day for the kids. They discovered our little precious kitten we call “Mouse” was found dead. We cannot understand how she died or why. There were no signs of anything wrong. She was a sweet kitten and once again we only got to enjoy for a little while. These kittens are hard on us as we see them come and go and ache when they are gone. The kids know that she was not healthy when we found her and bottle fed her. She had a much longer and happier life with us than she would if we had not found her. She was happy with us as we were with her. That night I took the boys out to bury the kitten. They helped me pick a spot and dig the hole. They were very mature about it all. Jake made a little temporary sign with "Mouse" on it.
