RIP Limb

Not sure if I've posted about the kittens someone dropped off at moms house about a month ago or not. So here's the story: Someone left 2 kittens at mom and dads house, they found one on the porch and named it porcha, the other they found in a tree so they called it Limb. The kids fell in love with them and loved playing with them so we brought them home.....Kylin has loved having them here, they let her push them around in her baby stroller, and even put baby doll clothes on them!
Limb was Kylins cat and Porcha was Laytons buddy.
Well, last night about 10pm we heard the neighbor's dog attacking one of the cats. I'll spare ya the details but it wasn't pretty. Long story short - Limb didn't make it....both kids were asleep but Ky heard us and woke up. We debated about weather to tell her or not but decided to go ahead and tell her what happened. I couldn't even tell her, Joey had to do the dirty work. She took it much better than we'd expected. She didn't sleep at all last night, she was in bed with us, we all tossed and turned all night.
Joey and I woke up at 4:30 am to bury it (by the way, we never figured out if they were boys or girls!) I'm so mad this happened....I never again want to have to tell my kids someones pet killed theirs! Layton woke up about 6:45 so I went ahead and told him. . Joey and I had already decided we should get rid of Porcha now too,  we can't handle another attack. I had to tell Layton that too - that we would have to get rid of his buddy....surprising he was ok with it, he said he wanted to take it to the shelter where someone rich could get it and make it happy! Precious child! Anyway, I'm running on about 2 hours of sleep, sick on my stomach and just irritated that this happened. I may be more upset than the kids!
