We'll miss you Bugaloo.
Ladybug took a turn for the worse last night so we had to say goodbye this morning. We don't know why she went downhill so fast but it truly was only a matter of time for her. We adopted her when she probably 7-8 years old and we had her with us for almost 6 years. I don't know about her life before she joined our family, but I know she lived a happy life with us. We always joked about how special she was...in every sense of that word...but

Sunday Seven (with pet updates)
1. Just a typical night out in Ned. This picture can't possibly tell the story but while having dinner, a group of people came in dressed up in pretty random attire with a few musical instruments.

Haven't seen New Moon yet but I'm itching to go. Thinking that will be a good Thanksgiving movie. 4. Watching the AMA's tonight with the fam....good TV. 5. Chocolate
