FUZ MISSING FOR 2 DAYS


We went door to door on 03/20/2009 looking for Fuz and nobody had seen her. So when we got home Janessa made this letter that we were going to post outside in the morning....

The letter says:

We woke up on Saturday morning to Fuz. She must have come in with Amber. These girls love their animals. We have had horrible luck with our cats, so we were really happy when she arrived.

SENDING BALLOONS TO GRANDPA 03/09/2009

Grandma gave the girls each a leaf off of one of her plants. Then the girls made these notes to send to grandpa on the balloons.
Mia's note says "Mia". Janessa's note says "I loved you very much. You will still be my friend forever and always".
We attached the leaf and the note to the balloons and let them go in the sky to grandpa. Janessa's balloon got stuck in the tree, popped, but then was missing so he must have got it!
