I’m here today to announce the passing of a good friend, a buddy, a pal. Yes, my old buddy, BV has finally passed on after 18 happy years of being ornery, grumpy, demanding, king of all he surveyed and a general nuisance while I was trying to sleep (tap-tap–you awake?– tap-tap). I will miss him much.

King of all he lays on
Kirk I’m so sorry for you and Laurie
Elaine – Many thanks. It’s not too bad though. Between the two of us we’ve probably had more cats and dogs over our respective lifetimes (and in her case, goats, chickens and geese) than the local branch of the humane society. We felt bad for a day or so and then got so busy keeping the other 3 cats out of trouble we haven’t haven’t had time to feel bad.
Sorry to hear it Kirk. I also have a cat that has been with me for 15 years. I know I’ll miss her terribly when she’s gone. Pets have a way of ingraining theirselves into our lives and then leaving a hole when they’re gone. I’m sure you gave your Kitty a good life.
