Today was a hard day for me.  I’m sure this is all part of the natural grieving process, but there are certain days when I can’t stop crying over Kiwi’s death.  I miss my little dog SO much.  But I do try to keep it together for Lex’s sake, and that’s easier to do when we’re out of the house.  So today we spent the afternoon at the zoo.

I felt a lot like this polar bear:

But there’s a new African exhibit with lions and cheetahs, and it was pretty cool.
