Please keep the family of the blog Survival of the Furriest in your prayers. The youngest member of the family, 3-month-old Violette, died from a severe fall yesterday. The blogosphere is mourning. God be with you, family.
There’s more information at the Cat Blogosphere, including ways you can help raise funds for the medical and funeral fees, and participate in an auction and a memorial quilt.
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14.
I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

This was such a shocking thing to have happened. Truly, we do mourn for little Sprout. Thank you for posting this.
