| Day 336
Eli's doing great. He feels good and he's full of energy. He has a clinic appointment tomorrow morning so we'll see what his counts are like. I have a feeling they're pretty good. He also has a CT scan in the morning. We're hoping that the remaining tumour has shrunk. I'll be sure to update tomorrow afterward.
This morning when I got home from work we had a short funeral for the devil cat. I hate seeing Dana upset, I understand she loved the cat but I just don't understand how or why. I thought for sure that by now I'd be in the doghouse but she said she was proud of me behaving myself and not making any jokes. Trust me, it's been hard not to.
Tim's coach just sent out the finalized schedule for the hockey season. It's going to be a CRAZY season. They have 47 games left this season between now and February 20th. We're going to have to travel pretty far this season. We're going everywhere from locally to Calgary to Anaheim, California, to Rapid City, South Dakota. There's also a couple games against a few teams from the Salt Lake City area of Utah. We're going there for a weekend and one of the teams is coming up here this year too. We played them last year in a tournament in Montana. It'll be a fun season but it'll be tough figuring out how to get him where when.
Katie is looking forward to her riding lesson on Wednesday. I'm so happy she's enjoying it and she's doing great with the lessons. She's doing so well with paying attention and staying calm(ish) while she's around the horses. I'm hoping she does better and better over the next few months and that she keeps enjoying it. I'd love for her to make progress in her everyday life from these lessons.
As if we weren't busy enough, Dougie starts soccer this week. His first practice/game is Thursday afternoon. It's set up similar to spring hockey but it's winter soccer. The seasons are just switched. They play inside with fewer kids on the field because there's less space and it gives the kids more playing time and more time each game to have possession of the ball. They play the first half hour working on skills then they split off and play a small game for the second half. I think he'll have a great time, he really loves soccer.

| The evil cat is no more. Dana found her cat Snowball or Snowbell or something like that (lovingly nicknamed shitball) face-down in the kitty littler this evening. I feel awful that she's so upset but at the same time I'm relieved that it's gone. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against cats but this particular one was pure evil. My feet and legs are completely scared up from it sneaking up from behind me and scratching and biting. If it were just me I could deal with it but the cat went after my kids. The only people the cat would show any respect to were Dana and her sister. I just don't understand it at all. We finally compromised and Dana agreed to have the cat declawed back in March. The cat went nuts and cut my face up, tore Dougie's face up, and tore a chunk of skin off the vet's arm. I don't want to sound like a jerk or an animal hater or anything but I couldn't be happier that the cat is gone. One of the best parts about this is that I didn't have anything to do with it. But I do have to say the absolute best part is that I can now put my feet on the floor in my own house without having to worry about losing a chunk of skin out of my leg.
Old picture but yes, it really is as evil as it looks

| Marko pushed Lily over today. Typical 3-year-old causing trouble... as usual when any of them get in trouble Marko got a timeout. I sat him down on the step and explained to him why he was there. He looked up at me with the most innocent face ever and said "but Daddy, I cute!" It took all I had to walk away with a straight face. He did his time apologized to Lily and went back to playing.
This is the face of a troublemaker
