I kept myself busy over the weekend sewing a few more blocks for the X and + “Tough Chickie” quilt.

The distraction was needed because Friday morning we lost our beloved cat, Aslan.   He’d lost so much weight from pancreatitis.  Even with his medicines and special diet, he just kept losing weight, and by the end he was in pain.  I just couldn’t stand it.  Here’s his last picture, on my lap while I worked.

And here’s one of his baby pictures with my younger daughter, just because I prefer to remember him cute and healthy.

Today also marks the one year anniversary of losing our dog Sam at the ripe old age of 15.

I am so at risk of “accidentally” ending up at the animal shelter.  Is it kitten season?
