Rough few weeks
05 Oct 2010 4 Comments
So, why have I been so silent lately? Life.
I usually keep a lot of stuff private — believe it or not — but this time it is too hard to keep quiet.
For the past three weeks our cat had been having a very rough time. She was sick, and it seemed as soon as she turned 18, the warranty gave out and she begun to break down. On Saturday, 10/2/2010, Ariana and I had to make the difficult choice to put our cat to sleep. Saline Kyle Fisch is no longer with us, and she leaves a large footprint in this life. She was the best cat anyone could hope to have, and I will forever miss her presence in this house. Especially now, since I have been unemployed, she was my little buddy, and loved to hang out with me while I write.
Ok, I cannot go on, needless to say, things were a bit slow this weekend, and today is really the first time I felt like getting on the computer.
I am going to be silent for most of this week, but I will be back up to speed by the weekend.

My thoughts are with you both, Richard. My wife and I went through the exact same thing (right down to the age of the kitty) a month ago, still struggling. Silence is good (and expected) at a time like this. Please take care.

Thanks Robert. It was a very hard week, but in the end I feel we made the best choice. Her pain is now over, and for me, that is the most important thing.

Very sorry to hear this, Richard. I know what great company a cat can be, and what a hole they leave behind when they are gone.

Thanks Graeme. It is lonely writing without my little editor.
