Speech, Shots and a Lost Cat

How's that for a title?



Lost Cat: We have lost one of our cats. Daisy - she is about 4 years old and the first cat we got. Last week sometime the cats were outside (they are inside cats but will sometimes go outside for a bit) and we didn't realize they were out. The next morning, Steve said Molly was sitting at the back door wanting to come inside. He didn't even think about Daisy being outside at the time. Two nights later - out of the blue - Isabella starts to panic and asks where Daisy was. Daisy is super shy and doesn't really let anyone pet her or come close to her. We searched all over the neighborhood for her, put up some signs but we still have not heard anything or witnessed any sign of her. I just hope she is safe. Isabella is having a really hard time with it. Molly - on the otherhand is rejoicing she is the only cat in the house!



Shots - poor Ava had her 4 year well check visit today. I didn't think she was getting any shots but I was wrong. She ended up getting 3 and it just broke my heart. She also is going to have to start speech therapy again. She substitutes letters often and the Dr. could only understand about 50% of what Ava was saying. I'm glad she's going to get the help she needs because she does get frustrated when we can't understand her. Isabella usually can understand and translate for us but sometimes even she can't understand it. After her shots I took her and let her get a little make up kit. She still had money from her birthday so we got it and it's made her feel better. Although - she is limping and saying "ouch, ouch, ouch" each time she takes a step. lol



We are getting in the swing of things with school being back in session. Isabella will play for an hour or so after she gets home and then comes inside for dinner, then practices piano, does homework and showers and gets ready for bed. She's been doing great with going to bed earlier - I think 2nd grade is just wearing her out.
