Farewell my friend....

By -
Tonight I said goodbye to my cat Marius. After watching him deteriorate so rapidly, I knew that it was time to let him go. He was my sweet baby and I already miss him so much. But he had 16 good years. Including wandering the farm, knocking up every cat in a 5 mile radius, and surviving a coyote attack! He was the amazing Marius. Named after none other than the character from Les Miserables.
It's really strange sitting here and not hearing the tinkling of his collar and id tag moving throughout the house. I keep expecting him to walk in any moment. sigh....

I really miss him. :(

Oh Sabrina. I'm sorry.

I'll always remember your costume and his this last Halloween.

It just stinks to lose a pet friend. It really does. I'm sorry.

Marius will always have a special place in my heart. He was like a fifth Robideau cousin. I loved his big furry paws and his masculine purrs.

BIG hugs to you. I cannot imagine how hard it would be...

Love you!!!

I just can't believe it...a trip to MN just won't be the same without seeing Marius...I remember hearing all about Marius not too long after we met in NH..I thought he had a cool name. I am so so sorry...he has been your friend for so many years and I can't imagine what it must be like not having him around. Sad.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
