It was a big day here today, but I do not have the time to edit the photos and do a report, so here is Charlie and Royce

Yes, Charlie and Melanie came out today - and they weren't the only ones. But, at the end of the day, even more left than arrived to begin with and now the population of this house is even smaller than it was this morning.

Unfortunately, I have something that I simply must get done before I do anything else, so this picture is all I can manage for this post.

Hopefully, I will find the time to put up a full report tomorrow.

I'm under a great deal of pressure right now, though, so I might not make it. And I am exhausted, too. I hate to make excuses, but it is just flat-out true.

I am EXHAUSTED!!!

Like a frog, who just swam across the Pacific Ocean.

But I will try to make that report tomorrow.

We will see if I succeed.

Poor Royce. He is growing so old, so fast! Charlie commented on how thin he is getting. He looks so ragged. And what a great cat he has been. I did not fully appreciate how great until I saw how lovingly and patiently he raised Kalib these past 19 months - even when Kalib got very rough, Royce was gentle and patient with him - always looking out for him.

I have never seen anything else like it. And now he is growing so old, so fast.
