Tonya the Cat - RIP

Tonya the Cat was put down today... a very sad day, but the girls have been very brave about the whole thing

Kate in particular has taken it hard (probably because she is a bit older) and she stayed in with the Vet through the whole procedure

Brookie stayed at home but we brought Tonya home to be buried in the garden and Brookie cried badly when Niki & Kate got home. I guess it finally dawned on her that it was all real.

So she is now buried under the bushes in the front garden. We had a large piece of cut sandstone and that has been placed at the spot. I was a bit sceptical at first in burying a cat in the yard, but the girls have laid flowers and it is actually quite a nice spot.

Sorry to hear about your cat, Clay... : (

Do the girls have any other pets?

Yep, we have a menagarie (sp?) of pets...

Zoe the Golden Retriever rules the roost, whilst Jimmy the Cockatiel squaks in his cage at odd hours.

And then we have Rosie & Matilda the carrot chewing Guinea Pigs who now have their own pen to run around in in addition to their hutch.

There is already talk of a kitten...
