I will be honest: I have never been good at blogging.  However, my twin sister recently made a commitment to start blogging more (halosofkindness.blogspot.com) and inspired me to do the same.  She encouraged me to blog about something I love and to have the blog's title reflect the theme of which I will generally write about.  Nothing stood out to me right away, so I began to think about my week.

These past few days have been very stressful.  Our cat, Bobby, has been sick and it has been difficult to diagnose the problem.  Multiple serious options have been discussed, including surgery to remove a foreign object in his stomach, which scares both me and my pocketbook.  I asked myself, "how much am I willing to spend at the vet on my cat before it is too much?" and there was no easy answer.  It's moments like these that you realize how health (human and animal) is invaluable and easy to take it for granted.  Thankfully we do not believe surgery is required and hope that he will be back to normal soon.

I decided to title my blog "For the Love of My Animals".  I want to remember this time in my life when I have a 3-year old kitty named Bobby and an almost 2-year old puppy named Oliver.

I hope to blog about the fun times we share and the lessons I've learned as a pet-owner.  All our welcome to read my blog and share this journey with me.
