There has been lots of concern over me not blogging lately. It's been rough at our house... you see, my big brother, Nuno, passed away just two days before Thanksgiving. Mom did not handle this very well. So not only were we all very sad and trying to manage our own grief, but we were all very worried about Mom and trying to take care of her. She's doing a little bit better... but I know her heart is broken. Dad tells me that things like that don't get fixed, that they stay broken. But over time the pain gets a little less and you only feel it from time to time. I think someone needs to find a cure for broken hearts...
Dad is going to take mom to some holiday fesitval thing tonight a couple of towns over... he's hoping to lift her spirits and get her in little bit in the Christmas spirit. I've told her that it's OK that we don't decorate the house this year or even get a tree... what's more important is that we are all together. Besides, tree or decorations or not, Santa will come. I wrote him a special note with a special request this year -- I told him I didn't want any cookies or toys or treats... just to make mom feel happy again. I hope Santa comes through for me. If he doesn't, I've got a can full of whoop-ass for him and his stinking elves next year... maybe a special batch of chocolate chip & arsenic cookies!

We are so happy that you have decided to write again. We know what pain your Mama is in. We saw her on Thanksgiving and could feel it. Both of us told her how sad we were about Nuno and told her how much we love her - but we know it's not the same. You are being such a good boy, giving your Mama extra love and attention. She may not realize it now, but it helps.
I just know that if anybody can help, it's Santa Paws. He brings good boys and girls whatever they ask for. (except for squirrels - Mama said that Santa can't handle rodents) I will make sure to ask Santa to bring your Mama so smiles. She needs them.
By the way, we never really decorate for Christmas. My Mama is too much of a neat freak, and she considers it clutter. We only put a few things out to make the house feel "christmas-y", maybe your Dad could do that for you?
Either way, we are so sad for your loss of your Big Brother - Nuno. We loved him and he taught us so much. Who would have imagined? A feline!? Go figure.
Keep in touch!
