One last goodbye 

On our way out we borrowed a sign. 

Move in went great today. A small amount of tears and nervous stomachs, and a few comments like, “I can’t believe this is happening”…… 

You got this, Amelia!

Lunchtime Olive Garden selfie 

Candy & eyeglasses

 We said goodbye to our last kitty today. Candy went to live with 3 other cats and 2 dogs. We’ll miss him!

He loved the sink.

He loved laying in Charlie’s spot. Candy looked the most like Charlie.
