Moochie

We lost our sweet little Moochie last night. He was such a wonderful friend. He was a very OCD little rattie, always maintaining a very organized food storage and getting frustrated when Butters would raid it. He usually liked to keep to himself, but wouldn't mind snuggling with me every now and then. In his last months, he was a very brave little soul. He went through a rough time getting a lump removed and wearing the Cone of Shame for a whole month. After that, he was as sweet as sweet can be, and spent lots of time on my lap, shoulder or in my arms during his last weeks. We're happy he's at peace now, and I'm sure he and Butters are somewhere enjoying a sweet reunion. We'll miss you little Mooch!

SOOOO little!

Packers Cake

In the end, I really wished that it had been real cheese. Oh well. Glad the Packers had a good day. :)

The Cone of Shame :(

Poor little Moochie. He had to have a lump removed this past Friday. He did great through his surgery, but is having a less than fun time dealing with his E-collar and the little cage. We've had some fun times trying to help him eat and get used to not being able to use his hands. I think he especially misses being able to groom. He's always such a neat little critter. Hopefully he won't have to have the cone on for more than about 5 more days.

A little bit crazy...

Doesn't he look kind of like a little pioneer girl? The harness is to keep his little hands from being able to push off the cone.

I know this shot is a little blurry. But you can see his shaved hip and stitches. He has been a really brave little rattie. :)

Butters

We lost our sweet little Butters last night. It was hard to say goodbye. He was a wonderful little friend and brought so much happiness to our home. Here's a few little pictures to remember him by. We'll miss you Bubbins!

The second night after we brought him home with us. SO LITTLE!!

One of his favorite past-times. Chillin' with Dad.

"Snuggles" with Moochie.

With Grandma.

He was hopeful the camera was a snackie...

If there was one thing Butters was good at, it was being oh so LAZY!

With Moochie. They were a regular Oscar & Felix, but still loved to be together.

And a little video from his more "athletic days."

Let's Go Cougars...

So you thought this post was going to be about football, right? Well if you've followed this blog for the past year, you will know that the only thing I ever blog about is cake. Unfortunately, this post is no exception. Football season is here at last, and we decided some sweet celebration was in order...

Bake Sale Cakes

Autumn's work participated in a child abuse awareness fair and she asked me to donate some cakes for the bake sale. Here they are!

Another chocolate rose cake.

My first real attempt with fondant and gum paste.
