There's truly never enough time on this planet with our furry family members.

Today, we sadly said goodbye to Felix the Cat, the last surviving cast member of our Odd Couple, as he told my mom it was his time to sign off the air. As he was the oldest of our cats, it is hitting us all really hard right now.

My mom's cat from the start, he would've been 16 years old this year, right on my dad's birthday and parents' 16th wedding anniversary. He would also cat-call my parents in order to get them to go to bed too. It was quite funny.

He was the smallest of his litter. You could literally hold him in the palm of your hand when he was young. He had the softest fur that felt like silk. It was unlike anything you'd ever feel. He also KNEW how to snuggle (and practically suffocate my father lol!)

But, even still, this is a really sad day for us. We just said goodbye to Oscar not that long ago. It has been a really hard year. Today sucks.

But we love you lots, Felix. And we miss you so, so much already... πŸ–€

Mom, grandpa, brothers and I went on a walk yesterday and found this little alcove. Might just have to be our new swimming spot πŸ’™

Saw Jurassic World Rebirth at our local Regal Movies tonight and almost regret it. Not the movie, it was actually okay, but going to Regal at all. 45mins of ads PAST advertised showtime? And there were 10 minutes of ads before showtime, too. So, 55 total. 15 minutes of ads I understand, but this is excessive.

Currently dogsitting Lucy for my grandfather. She's really sad her owner isn't around and has made it known to all of us here.

Just one question, though: where am I supposed to lay down?

Yeaaaaah, Liquid Glass has a ways to go. But it’s getting there!!
Got some bad news, and went to go see some fireworks. While I'm still processing everything and trying to get back to 100%, I think it's going to be okay. At least, I hope so.
another trip to the off-road swimming hole on the river down πŸ’™
