Coco, The life of a cat

He is the VIP cat, the king of the farm, the master of his domain, the loved furball. He seemed a little thinner and I had the vet check his bloodwork. Sadly, I became aware that he has feline luekemia. I am so very sad. Prognosis says 1 to 3 years from detection. I don't think I will tell the kids until he is acting sick. We don't know how long he was had it. He is a fighter and goes outside and gets in cat fights all the time. He fends off any strays and keeps all of our cats in line. He has many battle wounds and has been to the vet so many times for bite wounds. I am certain that is how he got exposed. He is the boss, the king of his pride. I am so sad to think that his time will be shortened. He brings so much joy to our family and comforts us and soothes away sickness and sadness. He is such a blessing. We pray he can have happy years ahead and can be with us many more years.

Volleyball

Jake went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s Volleyball game in Coon Rapids. They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them. Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

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.
