Today has been a hard day for all of us. We had to take our sweet Gizmo to the vet to be put to sleep this morning. She was 18 years old. She's been sick for awhile but she was starting to not be able to walk and she had lost a lot of weight. Our other three kitties got to see her one last time when we got back from the vet and say goodbye. We felt that they needed closure just like us.
Once we laid her to rest we had to switch gears and finish packing and get on the road. That made today even harder for us all. My hope is that we will stay busy enough these next few weeks so that the pain of losing her will be more bearable. We are going to miss her so very, very much. She was our first baby. The boys took it better than I thought they would, although Zachary was noticeably upset.
Now we are on the road, first stop Mountain View Missouri. Nothing there to see but we didn't want to drive more than 8 hours today with everything that happened with Gizzy this morning. This is our first post on our new blog so please pardon my mistakes. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this blogging stuff soon. As soon as I figure out more about posting pics I'll do that.
