Today's Bloodbath!!

Can you imagine anyone wanting to hurt this beautiful, sweet and wonderful little cat?? Hobbes decided he wanted to be on the high window sill in my bathroom - Blue was on that window sill.... I was downstairs - all i heard was horrible screams; and I really mean horrible and heart-wrenching screams. I got up there, sprayed him using the water bottle. Then i saw spots of blood, on the mirror, on the counter, in the sink, on the toilet, on the wall and then i saw blood pouring out of Blue's paw and all over the white window sill in puddles. So here we are 15 minutes later, Hobbes has been put in the bathroom with food and a litter box until i can decide if he remains in this house or will be taken to an animal shelter. This seems to be only 2% of his personality and i have a couple puncture wounds with bruises this week to prove he has already been at it this week (i was protecting Blue and tried to pick him up and put him in the bathroom for a few minutes, he hates to be scruffed even though I do hold his back end while i do it). I can't take him to DDFL since he was already labeled aggressive when we got him at 5 months and they will euthanize him. Such a tough decision since I will take him out of the bathroom and he will be fine. Blue on the other hand is not a cat that likes to go into a crate and i avoid taking her to the vet, and thankfully she is quite healthy. What a WONDERFUL morning so far. Baby is on his way over and doggy will go to daycare for the day. Things will improve!!

A hard to WAIT day

Ok, I knew it would happen at some point and I am amazed that it has taken this long, but the wait is killing me this week!!!! I keep telling people that referral is a year away - but i know it is MORE THAN LIKELY going to be longer than that. I don't think my mind can comprehend a 2 year wait, so it looks like I may be saying 'it'll be about a year' for the next few months. At least we have gotten through the first 5 months unscathed and it seemed to go pretty fast. But it's still making me a little nuts...
On a happier not, we are one step closer to our vacation in Hawaii... I have plane tickets. As soon as James makes his reservations it will be complete. I can't wait to be away from the snow. I'M NOT SURE IT WILL EVER MELT!!! We are almost at a record, I think as of today we are in third for the most days with snow on the ground in Denver. It only snowed twice this week and that's all gone - nothing makes me happier! well, that might be going too far. But I do see ground again, and that is something. HERE COME THE FLURRIES again....

I can't believe it's been 2 years since our last vacation.
Man, has life changed! Hawaii can't come soon enough! Just to sit and read a book and hear the waves come in. Feel the clean air brush across my face, go snorkeling and see the beauty of the ocean up close and to just sit back and watch the world go by.
I'm ready!
