You guys cut that out fer a minute, wilya?? Let's have a song for the auld horse. That is so sad; I hate it when a pet/member dies. I've got an auld lady cat...she was 17 in June, who just keeps hanging on but I know one of these days....ah, hell, I need to drown my sorrow, somebody mix me up something STRONG, pulleezze. Sorry about the horse; that really hits home as my daughter's auld mare, who is something like 37, is having a rough go of it right now, too.

Wait, don't leave me here all alone! I know I am a wet blanket...just let me get a couple of these down and I'll, I'll.....breath catches in throat, small sob escapes, true banshee wailing ensues ....just let me sit over here in the corner, mayhap the resident barcat could come sit on m'lap, purr a bit o'love fer me?
