Our cat, and Mum’s ‘first born’, Stark, passed away. He was pretty old, but we all loved him. He was such a big part of the family, too. Mum’s so torn up.

I don’t know if Gala and I will be getting any pets… it’ll be hard for any pet to live up to Stark.

It was Stark’s time to go…

Mum asked Sweet Pea a few days ago to paint her a portrait of Stark, since Sweet Pea has been getting so good at her painting.

She finally started it today and Stark was more than happy to strike a pose for the canvas! We all can’t wait to see how the portrait turns out.

Stark has taking a liking to Dad all of a sudden. The two had never been close, but I think as they are both getting on in age, they’ve come to an understanding.

As for me, I’ve learnt to appreciate the little guy a lot more lately. He’s been a part of this family for longer than I have!

Dearest Diary,

My kitten, Stark, is now an elder. I can’t believe how quickly it’s happened! It seems like just yesterday I met him out on the front yard of my little white box house… just the two of us.

Everyone celebrated. After all, he’s been here since before any of the sweets were born and they’ve all grown up with him alongside them! Even Amaranth’s friend, Gala, was there. Stark was certainly spoiled.

The cat condo the sweets bought him is fantastic. I just know it’s going to bring him so much joy in his later years!

Getting older, too,

"How do you like it? We all pitched in! We know you’ve wanted your own cat condo for ages now! Happy Birthday!"

"MEOW!"

"Meow… Meow… MEOOOW!"

"Oh, Stark!" groaned Raspberry. "I’ll be up in a minute."

"STARK!" squealed Apple Blossom. "I’m awake! I didn’t forget it was your birthday today. Come with me, we can play until the others get up. And then you can have your present!"

"If we all pool our weekly allowances together, I think we can afford that present for Stark…"

Dearest Diary,

Today was another productive day. With winter coming, I thought it might be a good idea to plant some seeds indoors - that way we can harvest them even when the frost sets in. To start off, I planted a Ghost Chili I found when out exploring.

The triplets are doing well and becoming more sociable as they grow. They are inseperable, however. I just know all three sweets are going to be close their whole lives!

As for Flamingo, he came home early from work to spend time with them. Both Watermelon and Sweet Pea finally got the hang of toddling on two feet and learned to walk!

Time is going so quickly,

Dearest Diary,

I think Raspberry Sweet’s been hit by Cupid’s arrow! Sweetness, I was interviewing potential babysitters today and a lovely young man by the name of Robin Marine showed up. He also happens to be in Raspberry’s grade at school.

As soon as he left, Raspberry smooched poor Stark on the lips and said, “Stark, I can’t believe Robin Marine was in our house!”

She happened to totally forget the fact that she’d been in her nightie the whole time! But the question remains - should I give him the job?

Confused,
