The Weavers: A lot has happened since my last blog

Whhheeeewwww.......well a lot has happened since my last blog. I don't even know where to begin. Well I guess I could start with the sad news first. A few weeks ago we lost our cat White Boy. We are pretty sure it was something with his heart, and that there was nothing we could of done to save his life. He was starting to get uncomfortable at the end, so Ross took him into the vet to be euthanized. We miss him very much!

Our White Boy

Now for some good news to add to that. We will be getting a new kitten here in a few days. We met the little guy a few days ago, and he is so cute! So friendly, and I am just so excited to bring him home!! We were looking for a kitten and keeping our eyes opened for what is out there, planning on getting one here in the next month. Well I decided to call the vet to see what they charged for all the shots and tests kittens get, and what they charge for neuter and declawing. Well the lady told me that they had an 8 week old male gray/black tiger kitten there at their clinic that has had their first shots and tests done and was going to be neutered soon, and that we could have him for free if we wanted him! They wanted to wait a week before they neutered him so he got a tad bit bigger, but they are doing that here in a couple days and also declawing him. Then we can go get him and bring him home! It just kinda fell into our hands! It was meant to be :) Eli is VERY excited to have him come home with us! :)

Now onto some more that has happened! Well our Eli broke his leg. The boys and I had come home from some morning grocery shopping and I had just got the groceries put away and Eli was sitting at the table in the kitchen, watching Mario videos on the iPad, and was sitting on the side of the chair and the next thing you know the chair tipped over and he started crying, so I ran to him and his right foot had got caught in the back of the chair and was twisted bad! It wasn't easy getting it out, but when I did get it out he cried in pain that his shin hurt. Right then I had a feeling it wasn't good......he probably broke his leg. So Ross came home from work and we took him to Lansing Urgent Care for x-rays and sure enough our little guy broke his Tibia. So they splint him up and sent us home and we had to go to a Orthopedist for the cast. We got him in to the Orthopedist 2 days later for his cast and he is doing good. The orthopedist wants him to come back on Friday (a week later) to get x-rays of his leg again to see how it is healing, and if all looks good only 3 more weeks of his cast! I was totally surprised when he said only 4 weeks total (if all is looking good, of corse) with the cast! That means he would get his cast off a week before his birthday party! He picked out the color orange for his cast, and is getting LOTs of signatures from brother, Aunts, Uncles, and Grandma's and Grandpa's. He thinks thats pretty cool :) He isn't bumming to much cause he gets to play a lot more Mario, and he thinks that is pretty awesome :)
