What a funny, sad, and beautiful story Ted. Getting very misty while reading it in a waiting room. Damn

Thank you for sharing. In September I took in an abandoned cat who was young and frisky for two weeks then rapidly deteriorated due to heart issues. We had to have him put to sleep less than 3 weeks in our home. I felt a grief that I was embarrassed to share with others. After all, I hadn't had him long! But it was grief for the loss of hope for a future I'd envisioned with him.

For you and Karl, you shared something even if it was brief, and who would want to give that up?

Good on you, Ted, for giving him his final act in such good nature and comradely fashion. Just when you least expect it, some furry bugger finds a key to your life. He has an inherent nobility and dignity that comes through in every picture. Ave atque vale, Karl.
