Farewell Autumn, a great person all around
Yesterday, we all said our farewells to a great person, a wonderful friend and a fantastically brilliant co-worker. Autumn passed away earlier in last week for reasons I don’t want to discuss because when I was given the news at … Continue reading
Rest In Peace Nubby
Today, the sad news just kept on coming. Nubby, the other cat Jennifer brought with her when she moved in passed this afternoon. I wouldn’t be surprised he finally gave up his ongoing battle with hyperthyroidism after knowing his buddy … Continue reading

Farewell Kuroneko
Last night I got to have my final goodbye to one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever known. Somara was gracious enough to let see Kuroneko, give her cuddles and whisper in her ears why I loved her so much. … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Cristina
Holy Shit! What a morning I’ve had. As if the super cold, shitty weather weren’t enough and a front-row seat to how severe Jennifer’s migraines are, I found out my next-door neighbor died suddenly. Initially there was a call from … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Mildred Vuris

RIP Uncle Loran

Rest in Peace Paris
Paris crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning around 1 AM. She had been in declining health for over a week as you may recognize in animals when they let you know they’re ready to pass. Jennifer wasn’t Paris’ initial owner, … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Kody

Farewell Oz
Our friends’ kitty Oz passed away today. He had been suffering from kidney issues and putting him to sleep was the best option sadly. Oz’s fellow house cat Mika will miss him too, even when cats aren’t BFFs, they still … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Nemo
Nemo breathed his last in Somara’s arms Wednesday night (July 3, 2019) as we were taking him to a 24-hour hospital to put him to sleep, end his misery. Such a shame too. The poor guy just recently celebrated his … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Vixen (Oct. 10, 2013 – June 27, 2019)
As per what I previously wrote, there will be a gap in the “now” and “then” for a while. Right now I will cover the whole debacle here since I had my conversation with GEICO and received the sad news … Continue reading
Rest in peace Fuff
Sometime this Fall, a sick asshole poisoned my in-laws’ cat which in this era of Uppity Deplorables doesn’t complete surprise me. It’s a huge reason why my cats live indoors and I do whatever I can to rescue the strays … Continue reading

While I was away recuperating, my long-time co-worker and friend Brian passed away during surgery. I received the sad news from our fellow co-worker Troy (he’s the guy on the left in the photo above) while I was headed to … Continue reading
