where the hell did november go? oh yeah…vacation, thanksgiving, working like a dog! i cannot believe christmas/the holidays are right around the corner!

it was a very sad week for us, as our oldest cat, meatloaf, passed away. we had her for 10 years, longer than we’ve been married, even. she was really ill for about a month now, and she had to be put to sleep. i was sadder than sad about it all. our very sweet co-workers bought us a huge white orchid as a gift of condolence for her loss and had it delivered yesterday; it was very, very touching and unexpected. it’s amazing how a pet can affect our lives, and how much you can miss them when they are gone. RIP, meatloaf. we love you. we will miss you always.

    My deepest sympathies on the loss of Meatloaf. They do become a part of your family, and it is so hard to lose them. You do have some amazing co-workers though, which always helps a bit.

    Losing a kitty (or any pet) is awful, and I’m so sorry for your loss. I love her name–was it her shape, color, or personality that reminded you of a meatloaf?

    I am so sorry for your loss. She sounds like a lucky lady to have had you as a guardian though – it sounds like she was very well-loved.
