I had to put Puddy Tat to sleep today. I don't remember the last time I cried this much in one day. I feel a little better now, but little things still creep into my head that reminds me that she's no longer around, and I have to blink back the tears ( Read more... )

I feel I've been MIA since I haven't had time to write anything. Life's been good. I've been super busy with everything, and basically just living it up ( Read more... )
