RUN WILD MY HEART AND SOUL

I had to let Kata go yesterday morning. She was in pain and there was nothing we could do to ease it that would’ve given my sweet girl any quality of life. I don’t have words for how I am feeling.

I personally had to drive her body 1.5hrs to have a necropsy ran at OSU. There is no words to describe that feeling either. She will be picked up one the necropsy is complete to be cremated and then she will be home.

I tired to make a video thanking everyone for the prayers and support for her but I cannot make it through the video.

Just look at it!! You are looking at my little bundt cakes that are shelf stable without preservatives of any kind! I really missed my calling as a product developer for a large corp 😅

When you forget half the ingredients during R&D and create a new product 🤣

Can you guess what it is?

My icing was too thick but I was so done with icing today 🤣

I blended Brandi Garcia and Devon - Boston Area Cookier amazing sardine cookies into one. You both are such an inspiration to me.

I am not okay but I am okay

Not the day I had planned, but here I am still pushing through.

Basement had 5 inches of water in it and for those who don’t know, that is my bakery and meat processing area! My car was also flooded. It has been a pretty emotional day. The water is out of the basement but now what is left is mud.

Kata gained a pound y’all!!!! WOOTWOOT 🥳🥳
I thought my scale was wrong so I took her up to the vet. Look at that pretty pink tongue!! I never thought I’d be so happy to see a little pink tongue.

you all have no idea how much you helped through this mentally. Thank you 😭🙌💚
