One year ago today, my sister Lexi-Lou unexpectedly passed away. She'd only been my sister for one week, since I was just adopted on Thanksgiving Day.
Last year for Halloween, Lexi was a turtle.
And last year Mom got Lexi a special turtle squeaky toy because of her turtle Halloween costume. But then in all of the excitement about adopting me, Mom forgot to give it to her.
So, since I'm such a squeaky toy nut, Mom thought it was only fitting to give me Lexi's turtle toy on the anniversary of her passing. She put it right behind me when I was napping. Of course the toy radar kicked in right away!
I checked out that turtle.
I posed...even though I was sleepy...
Then I played a little.
Then I decided to nap with my new turtle. (Mom DID wake me up with it!)
I think Lexi would appreciate me playing and napping with her turtle, though.
We miss you, Lexi-Lou!
What a sweet synchronistic way to honor Lexi's passing and celebrate her life. :)
