Introducing some Joy

So I mentioned in my last post (I have been bad at posting! I am sorry) that we lost our beloved cat Willow last week.  She was my companion and my buddy.  It is horrible to loose pets at any time but last week was just not the time that it needed to happen.  I hated that she was even an outside cat but there are tons in the neighborhood and we rescued her off a ranch. Prior to, she climbed the walls of the house. I lost my buddy and companion but I know we have to move on.

I work from home and so it really helps me to have a pet, especially one that I am so attached to.  We have been talking about getting a new dog since we had to put down our elderly shih tzu named Pancake but were going to wait until our yard was completed. Because of the circumstances we ended up with a new family member a little sooner.

Introducing Piper.

Piper

Piper is a black labradoodle.  She has brought some much needed joy and excitement to our house.

She loves running in the grass and yesterday we took her for her first visit to a state park.  She had a ball.  She fell into the water, got herself really dirty and then was exhausted on the way home.  I put her at my feet but she still found enough energy to climb up onto my lap.  Today she went to the vet and did great.

Hopefully we will have joy for a little while from here on out.  We still recognize though that the Lord is good no matter what happens 🙂

When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future. – Ecclesiastes 7:14

When it rains it pours

We lost our beloved Willow yesterday.  I never wanted an indoor/outdoor cat because of the risks but adopting a ranch cat, it was in her blood.  She loved exploring and catching birds.  She loved running outside.  Yesterday, she got hit by a car. I don’t know why it had to happen yesterday, basically in the worst week of my entire life, but it did.  And my beautiful, gray, perfect cat is now gone.

She loved her scratching pads.  She got so excited when I brought a new one out jumping up to get it before the plastic was even off.

And she loved to snuggle with me.  In the morning and evening after she had played outside she was mine.  She would nudge my phone if I was on it for attention or bite my hand so she could be scratched.  But never on the belly, that was off limits.

She loved looking out the window and watching what was going on.  She had different spots throughout the house that were her perches.  Willow, you are going to be greatly missed.  I don’t think you were in pain as I think it happened in an instant and you were doing what you loved to do.
