Raining Cats & Dogs in Heaven

Well, it must be. This week my kitten went missing and yesterday our dog drowned. Danny (our kitten) we hope will come home soon. Considering where we live- it's not likely. Mountain lions, bears and coyotes...Oh my!

Coffee (our dog) was 13 years old. She was going blind and deaf, but still the sweetest terrier/poodle mix you ever met. She fell in the pool while my mother-in-law was out shopping. Coffee had been living with my in-laws for the past year. We didn't bring her with us when we moved for fear she would become some other animals light snack or be picked up by an owl and dropped on a rooftop somewhere- yes, that happens around here! Plus our property is not fenced yet.

I know, they're just pets. I am thankful I don't live in Russia finding myself trying to decide which one of my children will live or die... and that's if I'm one of the lucky ones who gets to choose. That story kept me up at night.

Let's hope the fish don't follow. My girls don't even know about the dog yet...
