It has been sad around here recently with Andy no longer being with us. Getting over not having her around any more has been hard even though she was with us for just two years. We put her stuff away over the weekend and not having that large habitat on the chest of drawers in the bedroom makes it seem empty. That and not hearing her rustling around or running in her wheel at night. The cats though have been super attentive as well, when we sit on the sofa at least one and up to four of them will sit with and around us on the sofa. They have made it easier by being there with us.
On to something else though, dwelling on Andy makes me too sad. The weather here is so much colder now, it has been frosty every morning for like 5 days in a row now. Considering we never had that in California it is great to see weather again. Proper amounts of rain, temperature changes and a definite different feeling to the world around you during different parts of the year. Sure it gets cold and my wife got blankets for us to keep warm under in the evening but to be honest its great. I've missed this.
Other than that I have been looking after the neighbours pets the last few days. I had them come around in a panic the other day since they were just about to go on holiday (like the next day) and their pet sitter had pulled out. So twice a day I'm walking over to feed the dog and cat they have. I've only seen the cat running across the house a couple of times but every time I go over there the dog is so happy to see me. It clearly loves attention like most dogs, they require someone to be there. Fortunately I've also managed to keep it quiet so my wife doesn't hear barking. We shall see if I can finally tempt the cat out but no luck so far. From what I've seen it is quite small.
Anyway, I need to get on with a bit of work and make some lunch so off for now. I have no idea when I'll next write on here, maybe when things feel a bit more normal and we aren't quite so sad.
