Updates

It's been a while..but this is what has happened:

Alex and I got away for a fun trip with 9 friends to a friend's wedding in Baltimore, MD. We ate crab (too much), shopped, ate more crab, went to an Orioles game, ate more crab, hung out with friends and went to a fun wedding. Jake stayed with MiMi and Grampy and had a blast as well.

Shortly after coming back from out trip, our beloved cat Zak freaked out on us. We think he was sick and just flipped his lid. After much thought, we decided to put him to sleep. It wasn't the easiest decision considering Zak has been our first real pet together and he was part of our family. When we first settled in RI and I didn't know a soul, we got Zak to keep me company while Alex worked days and nights. But, the fact that he had attacked me as I held Jake last week just freaked us all out. He had done it before (rewind 4 years to Alex calling the cops/animal control on Zak. True story.) and we just couldn't take the chance that he would do it again, and possibly to Jake. He was a large, cuddly kitty and he will be missed!

It took a full day just to catch him in order to even put him in his cage..but we did it and believe he is in a better place. Jake misses "titty tat" and still states his has a "titty". We told him that kitty went to a farm to help catch mice. He then stated HE wanted to go to the farm too and catch "ice".

Right after this Jake and I came down with strep throat and were out of commission most of the holiday weekend and week after. It was a bummer because we were suppose to go to MA for some family time and apple picking. It just couldn't happen with the way I was feeling.

That's been our October in a nutshell! We are happy to be over the sickness and look forward to upcoming Halloween!
