In September, we had to put Sophie down and it was an awful thing to have to go through. To get to that point, I need to backtrack to what happened in July. We woke up one morning and she wasn’t responsive, so we took her to Mike’s work for some tests. A mass on […]
Read more "Sophie"In September, Mike’s parents came out for his birthday and we went to Catalina Island for the day. Catalina is about 30 miles off the coast of California and is a neat, beautiful getaway! It took about a one hour boat ride to get to the island, and everything is just so relaxed and not […]
