Thanks to everyone for your kind words and condolences on the loss of Lexi. All of them are very much appreciated. <3 I'm doing better now, a few days out -- still sad but not overwhelmed with it ( Read more... )

I haven't really talked about Lexi's illness since he was diagnosed in January, and I'm not up for going into a lot of details right now, but after a month-long slide with no good outcomes in sight, we decided to say goodbye this morning.

Tori is not home yet. She was doing better but the vet called just hour after I visited her to say she took a turn for the worse. Back to hoping she makes it through another night and bounces back in the morning, but I am not feeling optimistic. :(
