I used to use those black out drapes. I made my own, but the person who bought our old house wanted them so I left them behind. Now I just wear soft eye covers and ear plugs if needed!
We once had a cat that was diagnosed with leukemia. We could not afford to pay to get help professionally, so my mom started making a special blend of homemade food for the cat. The cat recovered and lived another 7 years! That was my favorite cat - we truly loved him! 😍
