Our sad news.

We thought our cat Vicki was adjusting pretty well to the move, but it didn't go as smoothly as we thought. To make a long story short, she stopped eating after we moved. We thought since she was overweight she would be OK for a while and would start eating again soon. Little did we know, when overweight cats try to metabolize a lot of fat, their liver does not do a very good job at it. By the time I took her to the vet to see what might be wrong, she was already in liver failure. We had to have her euthanized July 30th. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life.
The kids were upset, but moved through the grieving process quickly. Erica just wants to know when she can get a dog now. Here are a few pictures of Erica and Vicki a few days before we had to tell her goodbye. Vicki was 9 years old and our only pet.
