TGIF! 5 More Days!!!
Happy Friday! It is going to be a perfect Spring day here in NJ. I hope it is like this everywhere. Sunny and expected to hit 73*
You see why I am dancing like Snoopy over that?
I am not dancing just yet, but I will be later.
Caitlyn texted me at 5.15 this morning to let me know that Cordelia was not doing well and if I wanted to come up to say goodbye it was time. She turned 3 and a half yesterday (!!!!!) and we think she was just hanging on to hit that milestone. As hard as it was, Caitlyn was thankful that she was able to hold her and we pet her as she passed.
Scott had gotten home from his moonlight hike around 4 am and the dogs barking woke her up. When she went over to the cage, she saw that Dilly was breathing but mostly unresponsive. She snuggled with her and then texted me when she thought that it was a decent time to let me know. By the time I had gotten upstairs, she was starting to gasp a bit. I am really glad that I got to say goodbye. She was literally the *best* rat. Olivia was my favorite but Dilly was the best.
We wrapped her up and got her into a box. At some point, we will bury her by Livvie. Thank goodness that the ground is thawed out. It's bad enough trying to dig in the dirt here with the rocks.
My mom is coming up to visit, we are planning on going to a small town up the mountain into NY State. Grab some lunch and wander into a few of the overpriced shops. I talked to my dad yesterday and he needs to get his replaced hip repaired. It's called hip revision surgery and it needs to get done sooner rather than later. They are both going to need to have post-op help which is gonna be *fun* /s
And they are going to have to get the surgeries scheduled far enough apart that one of them will be able to drive at least around town. I know that between my brother and me, we can handle most of it as long as they don't bicker. (Bwuhahaha! *gasps for breath* *snorts* hahaha!!!)
have a wonderful day my lOves!
