    Sorry Darin. I know for myself, I don't think I could live without a cat around.

    Sorry to hear about your friends passing.

    Pets are such good friends and they are so hard to say goodbye to. I still cry when I think of my boy dog who left over a year ago.

    I hope your family pain is softened by the memory of all the fine years you had with your furry friend. They are short lived and our only consolation to that is we can share our lives with many of them throughout the years.

    My condolences to you and your family.

    Thanks everyone - I really appreciate the amount of sympathy shown, even by those with whom things have gotten...heated.

    Haven't cried today - work up about 15 times last night thinking of Mike. Awakened this a.m. to the sobs of my wife as she lay beside me. Last night Bradlee wouldn't come upstairs - he meowed and called for more than an hour. I can't be sure but I think he was calling for his brother. The romantic in me thinks that anyway.

    Anywho - because mary didn't sleep well, she's up stairs on a couple benadryls. I've just made breakfast for the kids. Got a lot to do around the house - we're having company for dinner tonite. Deep Fried Turkey. I think it'll do us all some good to have more 'life' in the house.

    Down here, fried turkey has become very popular so each year the TV news guys show how stupid people are when it comes to doing that. Some how they just don't get it...... 6 gallons of boiling peanut oil is pretty dangerous.

    I know you aren't going to do this, just thought it was interesting. You tube has a bunch of how to videos on doing it Cajun style.
    No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

    I've put-off looking at this photo until today. This was taken about 5 minutes before mike died. This is how we said goodbye; as mike lay on a towel covering a stainless steel table.



    Looking at this photo breaks my heart again.

    So many people don't realize what a special part animals play in our lives.

    One year later and it still hurts. When Mary and I were talking about Mike with relatives over TGiving, we both teared up.
