So sorry, Flippyshark. Heartbreaking to lose a friend, how ever many legs they have.

3894~I would love to stop in Cambria, maybe in November, time and weather permitting.

Betty~awesome photos!!! I love your nieces' perspective and admire her for being there to experience all of that. I love the childrens' photos.

Wendybeth~do you think the 93 year old is ready to go, too?

Condolences on the loss of Illuminati, Flippy.

Flippy, my condolences to you and Tsunami.

There have been a number of animal family member losses in my circles lately and I've been able to consider my life without Markus or Roxy, and frankly if we lost either of them, I don't know if I could hold it together. They're our family, our supports when there's no one else to talk to... when there's no one else to understand, they're our best friends.

Sigh.

So sad that Illuminati is gone. :(

To Wendy and Tori - Kitty! :)

To Flippy - Kitty :(

Flippy, I'm so sorry about Illuminati! :( I've really enjoyed your stories about her adventures over the years, and it breaks my heart to hear that she is gone. When we lost Boris and Haggis it was too hard- I always think "that's it- no more, I can't stand it when we lose them....", but somehow our house fills up again. Big hugs to you and Tsunami.

flippyshark, I am so sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about Illuminati Flippy - losing a family member always sucks.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Sorry to hear the kitty news, and happy to hear the kitty news. Appropriate-style hugs for all involved.

So sorry, flippy. I know how you feel.
