Halloween 2008 -- More of a Trick than a Treat for Abby
Abby woke up this morning begging for milk. She barely ate or drank yesterday and was feeling it this morning. Will poured her a glass of milk, she took a sip, and we quickly discovered that Abby was going to be at home for sick day number two.
Again today, Abby spent a lot of time on the couch watching cartoons. She cried a few times because she was very sad to miss Halloween. She did wear her new Halloween outfit that her friend Tara gave her, though. 
Tonto brought Abby a cool black cat cupcake, but Abby was not interested.
Our friend Steph gave Abby a cool Obama cookie, but that didn't tempt her either. 
When our first trick or treater left, Abby began to cry and said, "This is the worst Halloween ever!" She felt so sad that she couldn't go out. We promised her that we would go trick or treating as soon as she felt better.
Our friends Steph, Paul, Skylar, and Paxton then stopped by and Abby rallied! She put on her super cool costume and laughed!
Last year we saw Amur leopards in two different zoos and fell in love with them. They are BEAUTIFUL animals. Sadly, fewer than 40 survive in the wild.
