Thankful Thursday

Great news:
We're thankful that another kitty lost in the fire - Pewter - was just found and reunited with family!

Amy mentioned the other day that this must be something like what the Joplin tornado survivors must have experienced: losing everything and having to rebuild.

We're thankful that - unlike so many in Joplin - neither Amy nor Kathi were injured in the fire.

And we're thankful for healing, and the gift of time.

As we approach the one year anniversary of Joplin, we continue to see stories of hope and healing, and we're thankful that this will eventually come to Amy & Kathi as well.

And we're thankful for the local news outlets, both television and newspapers, who continue to help owners search for their missing pets by spreading the news about them.

One such story is Razor's - the five year old Husky who lived in the apartment across from Amy. His owners had just left to run an errand moments before the fire....

Not Your Usual Monday

Today is the day both Amy & Kathi head back to work for the first time since the fire.

Paw prayers for them both...Amy's traveling out of town a short distance & Kathi may take CJ in for his follow-up a day early. Saturday was CJ's first day without pain medication, and he didn't do so well that first day without (he kinda made a tiny mess on Kathi's bed - worried her).

But yesterday he woke her up at 5:30 because he was hungry - a very good sign. And...after breakfast, he sat in the window for the first time since the fire, for a bit of bird watching!

Bird watching can be exhausting for a kitty, you know?

(in case anyone wonders, that's a stuffed Jayhawk - KU's mascot - that he's snoozing with.)
