Today is Kako and Kazon's sixth birthday. It's amazing how quickly time escapes us. It seems like it was just a few years ago that they were sickly little kittens at the local Humane Society, looking for a home and someone to nurse them back to health. That was in 1998! Both of them have grown up into such different cats — one, Kako, is an independent woman who doesn't take shit from anyone; the other, Kazon, is the sweetest cat I've ever known who fits his aptly applied nickname of "puppy."
I'm sorry that Derek isn't here to celebrate with us as he loves The Kids wholeheartedly. We'll celebrate for you, my friend.

I'm a bit late with wishing a happy birthday to Kako and Kazon since their birthday was on September 1. Rest assured they did get birthday treats and new toys to celebrate — I'm just running behind getting something posted about it.
