Goodbye to sweet Zoey

We found out yesterday morning that Tyler's kitten, Zoey, was hit and killed by a car. Zoey was the sweetest kitten - she slept with Casey every night and loved everyone. We are all sad and will miss her very much . . .

Let Christmas begin!!

Our Christmas celebrations started off with a bang on Wednesday with Daddy, Aunt Gayle, Stephen, Melissa, and Paul. We enjoyed a wonderful meal together and had a great time opening presents with all of our animals!

Daddy is happy to have everyone together!

YUM - the best turkey yet!

Welcome Home, Salty!

Today we brought home the new baby of the family, Salty. We got word on Tuesday night that we were approved to adopt him, and we picked him up at the Animal Supply House this afternoon. He seems to be really happy so far - he had one little barking episode when Zoey ran across the room. It was funny because we hadn't heard his voice before then other than a few whimpers! They are all getting along great now, and Casey is happy to have a new playmate!

Father-Son Fishing

Today Jamie and Tommy spent "Black Friday" fishing in a father-son tournament. In the picture below, they are posing with the winners of the tournament along with Jamie's friend, James, and his son Riley.

Thanksgiving Blessings

Today we celebrated Thanksgiving in Manning with Mimi. It was extra special because it was the first time that we have gotten together with Oneil's daughters, Tami and Ann along with their children. We will all soon be family, and we had a great time getting to know them all today!

Liam - so thoughtful

Liam - so silly!

A Day for the Dogs

On Saturday, Tommy, Casey, and I went to the 2nd Annual PAALS with Heart in the Park Dog Walk. Casey had a ball meeting all kinds of dogs, and we came in 3rd place in the poker run! We also met a potential new member of the family. We applied to adopt one of the rescue puppies named Salty. He melted Tommy's heart, and Tommy wore me down. Casey would love to have another buddy to keep her company when we are at work and school since Bobo is no longer with us. Hopefully, we will find out this week. Say a prayer for us (either way)!
