Just last week we featured the cat’s new toy which was supposed to be a Christmas present from Paula. Lori let them open it early, and it was an instant hit with Meg and Galen. (Ricky would rather beat up Galen or play with our board games than play with cat toys.) So Meg and Galen played with their pre-Christmas present all week, until this morning when Galen killed it. All of that purple stuff on the floor was a little ball that was hanging from the string. Now it’s just another broken Christmas toy beyond the repair of Santa’s workshop.
