Max and I were still dealing with our colds so it was kind of a low key weekend, but we did do one project together. We made a Rudolf ornament for the tree.
Unfortunately we ended the weekend by putting Captain down. He's been with us for more than 14 years and he was an awesome cat. He was like no other cat. When he was younger we used to play fetch with him. We would throw his ball and he would go get it and bring it back and we would do this for hours. He would also beg for food at the dinner table even though we never gave him any...unless it was salmon. He was quite the cat, but it was his time to go. He had severe kidney failure and started to pee in the house. We tried prescription food for two weeks and that seemed to help for about a week, but then he went back down hill. The vet said there was nothing she could do. Andy took Captain to the vet late on Sunday because it was not something I could do. I stayed home with Max and comforted him. I held him as he cried and tried to explain cat heaven to him. He said Captain is up in heaven playing with Shadow (grandma V's dog that recently passed away). Max actually woke up this morning and said "I wonder what Captain's doing in heaven?" It was hard to put the cat down, but it was even harder seeing Max upset about it since he doesn't completely understand. I feel like we did the best we could to explain it to him. Rest in Peace Captain! You were a pretty awesome cat and will be missed by the whole family.
