Sad Little Kitty

This really sucks.

So, we had to start finding homes for our cats and dog. We found a really good home for our boy, Marvin (kitty in a tuxedo). And apparently, he's adjusting really well, and we're very glad that he has a nice house with an owner whose going to love him and take care of him very well. But, it's not nice for our other kitty. She's practically inconsolable. She's needy and cries a lot and has been jumping up on the counter a lot, compared to before when she only did it when no one was looking. I know she misses her buddy, and I know she senses that something's up ( she'll be moving to a strange house too), but there's not really anything we can do except try to give her lot more love and petting. But I know we're not an adequate replacement for her feline friend. We both feel really bad for her :o(

On another note: I cannot believe it's already the 20th of August! Holy cow!! Chris and I made lots of progress on the moving yesterday, and the house is starting to look empty. But we still have a ways to go. I was sad yesterday because I know we're going to miss our little house so much. It was such a perfect little place for us to live. But, I'm sure we will feel that way about other places too. Chris and I were talking yesterday about how we're excited to get to our little place in Paraguay where we will finally live after training, and to paint it nice bright cheery colors and fix it up. I really hope we'll be able to do that.

Little brother will be here in about 4 days. Yay!!


Also, we'll be leaving for our road trip in about 12 days!!!!
