Potty Training

Everest has started noticing when he has to go to the bathroom, and will say things like "Me pee pee".  So Tara decided to get him his own little toilet.  He has been enjoying using it and has been successful a number of times.  

Ice Skating

Tara took Nova & her friend Ava, along with Aria to go ice skating.

For nearly 7 weeks Ryzen has had a mystery fever.  All of the tests the doctors have run on him have come back normal and we still haven't figured out why his temperature is so high. Hopefully we'll get it figured out soon.

Azure's Passing

Our dear cat Azure, after 17 great years has been struggling with kidney failure.  She has lost bladder control and was peeing all over, and even had blood in her urine.  She had become really skinner and was desperately thirsty all the time.  On December 27th, we sadly had to put her down.  We will miss her tremendously, but look forward with hope to someday see her again on the other side.
