1st check on all fur-kids; I found Stubby dead this morning…in his little apartment…on the porch…OMGs, I bawled like a baby! However, Stubby, I think you went out on your own terms, knowing full well making that decision for you was extremely difficult for me. R.I.P. Stubby. Meet me again @ the Rainbow Bridge.

This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.

*Stubby’s passing right here!

Outcome: Call into the veterinary to tell them of Stubby’s passing.
*I have Stubby’s body lying in repose in his apartment while I make preparations for burial.

After a few words, and many tears, Stubby now has an honored place in my cat cemetery; along with, Patch, Schatz, Ollie, Rufus and YaWK.

Emotionally drained…

Touch 1st half of shift…tears
Good dinner break…I actually got in some reading of the Poetic Edda
Touch 2nd half of shift…tears still come easily

Ya know, Stubby was a good boy. I didn’t have much to offer him. All I could offer him was my porch, a fairly sizeable porch at that, but the little I could offer his was evidently better than going back to that bitch across the street. He was my constant “welcome home”. He was my constant “good morning”. He was my constant friend. I already miss him like crazy. My tears are TREMENDOUS! Oh, I know it will eventually get better, but getting there is SO painful!
