Roger: 1988-2007

 

It is a sad day when one must say good bye to a long time friend. Roger was a part of our family since I was a child. He was our families first kitten, given to my younger sister Emily in 1988.
Roger lived a life of excellent personal hygiene, demonstrated by meticulous grooming on a daily basis for most of his life.
He had much love to give, although none to snippity dogs or grabby children. Roger was a wonderful big-brother to beautimous, spending many hours each day snuggling and sharing warmth (as shown in the picture).
Roger loved being scratched under the chin, warm laps to sit on and sleeping directly on top of my mom.
He will be missed dearly!

Spring Break in Seattle

 

 

 

I was relieved to have a break from the tedious task of school work. For spring break Munchkin, Grandma and I went to Seattle to visit the Farrelly's. We did many fun things while on vacation, although Munchkin had the most fun spending time with Guffy, the 20lb cat. Munchkin was very gentle and respectful of Guffy.

Seward Park

 
 
 
The weather was delightful. We took advantage of the sunshine and went on a walk around Lake Washington with Fergus the pug.

Choo-Choo

 
 
 
We boarded the "Spirit of Washington Dinner Train" for a fun filled ride beginning in Renton and ending at the Columbia Winery. We took a tour of the winery and tasted wines. Munchkin loved riding on the choo-choo train!
