Amongst all the funny stories and holiday season joy, we have some sad news to share. We had to have our cat Lily put down a few weeks ago. She had been not 100% for a while but had really gone downhill since we moved to this house. It was a difficult decision.

I'll miss lots of things about Lily - her funny little meows when she saw a bird or bug through the window, the way she flopped over to have her belly rubbed, how she always stuck her butt in your face when you were petting her, how surprisingly amenable she was to having her nails clipped and how she would jump on anyone's lap to get love. She could really purr too.

It is also sad because I think Max was starting to interact more with Lily. We'll definitely get more pets down the road but I think we wait until the kids are a bit older so we have a bit more time to spend with any animals we bring into the house.

Lily, I hope you are enjoying kitty heaven and getting lots of rubs and catnip.
