RIP Ollie

Well, 2020 just keeps on giving, doesn't it? To start off March, we had to have our favorite cat, Ollie, put down. She had a tumor on the back of her leg, close to her tail, that was leaving gross stuff wherever she sat down. The type of tumor has a high recurrence rate if it's removed, so we made the difficult decision to say good-bye. She was a very dog-like cat: greeting us excitedly in the morning until she got some love, playing fetch with a paper wad, exhibiting high tolerance of the kids, and sitting in my lap while I worked from home. She is most missed by Hadley (who called her her best friend!) and her "sister" from the beginning, Tibbs, who has cried many nights from loneliness. She was a good cat, and the house does feel a little empty without her.
