This morning we took Mika to the vet to have his balls chopped off. He is home now and full of piss and vinegar. We couldn't feed him before the operation and the vet told us not to give him much food through the rest of the day. He slept for some of the afternoon. This evening I heard him messing around with something. He had pulled a bag of cat treats out and was working hard at opening it up.

Tomorrow is Liberation Day. The island will be closed. There will be a huge parade running down through Hagatna. Families are already setting up little encampments along the parade route. BBQ will be the order of the day.
