And then there were...

Where do I start? I intended to write about this and that and the other, but I have to write about Leo. Sweet little Leo. He just left us to go to his new home. And I am a little sad.
The Olvera family from Antioch drove all they way up here and were ready to take him home. Lots of smiles and excitement on their part.


Bacio barked the entire time they were here. It is as if he knew another one of his boys was about to leave. It was deafening.
Everything is calm now, thank goodness.
Below is the last photo I took of Leo, this morning as he was taking a nap right next to me as I was knitting.
Bye bye little buddy! You will be loved a lot, I don't doubt that!

Bacio and Bella have been excellent parents. I have photos to prove it.
For example, I found Georgie all snuggled up next to his daddy and took this photo:

Isn't that sweet?
I also find Bacio often near Jethro, keeping him company or just checking on him. Below they were asleep but woke up when I got out the camera.
Jehro says: Dad, put your head back down next to mine!

Bella too has been very attentive of her little boy Jethro, licking his little ouchies and kissing him a lot. He really likes that.

Here are a couple shots of Papa Bacio with Gus and Newman. They are so adorable, playing with dad, who loves every minute of it.


This weekend I took it easy and knitted as much as possible. Making a sweater for Emlyn that is knitted all in one piece. A felted bag with a cabled border and a leather handle, etc...
And now I am a little less sad after my neighbors Brad and Elaine just dropped off some amazing homemade chocolate chip cookies. Perfect way to mend my heart...
