Mya Gonzalez

Mya had a long weekend. She began Saturday morning with her new vegetable of the week, sweet potatoes, which went very well. Then she headed over to Lake Lynn with Scott and Kristin for a nice long walk. They saw all sorts of animals: ducks, geese, dragonflies, deer, turtles, egrets, fish and lizards. She particularly enjoyed the ducks which were so huge that they looked like turkeys. It became quite apparent that they get fed quite often, after they ran right up to Mya and then followed her around for a while. The ducks probably thought Mya looked pretty tasty, considering a lot of them were actually bigger than her.

Later that night, Mya was awoken from her sleep as her parents rushed the 17-year old family cat to the animal hospital. Mew Bear had suffered a seizure at the house and things were not looking good, so Mya said her goodbyes. Initially Mya was quite fussy from being awoken from her sleep, but when she saw her mom and dad crying, she got quiet and continued to look back and forth at her parents as if she were trying to figure out what was going. on. Mew Bear will be greatly missed; even Mya would reach out for Mew and pet her when the cat was around.
