Dec. 30

Christmas has come and gone. Mom and Paul left yesterday. I can hardly remember any of it. I'm starting to take down the decorations today.

My babies were killed yesterday. Lucky and Dex escaped the yard and ran into the street, they both were hit. Dex died instantly and Lucky held on for a few minutes. I'm devastated and cant stop crying. I just want to forget Xmas.

Dec. 3

Well, I've been sick for about a week now. I had to take some time off to try and recover. The holiday is creeping up fast and we havent even started decorating yet. I have this Sunday off so we may do it then. Only 19 days till Mom flies in and there's so much to do before they get here. The weather finally turned cold yesterday, not that I enjoy the cold, but its hard to think of it as Xmas when its 75 out and humid. Anyway, nothing else is new.
