Scrappy Girl

We miss you, sweet Cobb

Our dear sweet Cobby, as Erin called him, is now in heaven with his buddy Shoe.  This has been a rough six months for us.  As Nik calls him, our "handsome man cat" was 14, and we found out he had some tumors about 3 weeks ago.  He was a sweetie right up until the very end.  There is no kitty that can replace these guys for us-- Ken and I have had them since right after we started dating.  It feels very empty already to not have a kitty in the house.  And as anyone who ever met him can attest, Cobb was about the sweetest, dearest, most patient kitty there is-- and he has been my pal since I picked him up at the rescue and he fell asleep in my arms.  He will always hold a special place in our hearts, and will definitely be missed.  Hopefully his heaven is full of grass and catnip leaves. 

"awwwwwww" moment of the day

So yesterday Mimi (grandma), Erin and I went to the Doll Hospital and Toy Soldier Shop (toy store) in Berkley, to see what Erin might like as a birthday present.  If you have never been, they have two full size wooden play structures set up inside, with slides that are probably 6+ feet tall.  Well, my not quite 2 year old shows no fear in the slide department, and climbed those things over and over again.  In between, it was all about the double doll stroller, with a doll up in front, and plenty of space for other shopping in the back-- should come as no surprise to those who have witnessed her at the store.

So this morning, I was asking her questions about yesterday.  I was asking if she remembered shopping with Mimi-- her answe: "played with Mimi at the Doll Park".  There were dolls and slides, so it's a doll park in her world-- sounds logical to me. I asked her if she saw anything she wanted for her birthday--- here's the awwww moment--- her answer: "Mimi".
