The night before Thanksgiving our cat Binx was adopted into a new family. We had prepared our children for losing Binx. So they didn't cry when we said goodbye and he left us.
Our children are strong and amazing.
Luke is allergic and that is why we had to find Binx a new home. Luke was the most sad to lose Binx.
Athena said she was fine but the next morning she said "Mom, can we let Binx out of the bathroom?" She had forgotten he is no longer here.
Ty was fine getting rid of Binx. He didn't bond with the cat as much as everyone else.
Ster had hated having a cat until we covered the leather couches to protect them from cat claws.
Binx had loved living with us! He loved us so much! We only had him with us for a month and a half. But he was getting tired of being treated like a toy by Athena. And he is getting older so he is a little less playful. He sleeps a lot more now.
We found him a young military couple. They have two ferrets and no children. They were excited to take Binx home after meeting him last night.
We all got use to hearing Binx's collar bell and knowing where he is. It will be weird never hearing that bell again. Never having that soft furry creature around.
This morning while Luke was playing he said "Now we have the problem of having no pets at all." Poor kid.
But like I said, they are strong.
Thanksgiving this year is just us. No guests.
We are so thankful! God blesses our lives more than we ever imagined He would.
We made marco polo videos to our families (Borens and Roundys) as we were eating our meal. Videos of each of us saying what we are thankful for.
It was a warm and beautiful day! 75 degrees outside! And life couldn't be sweeter.
