Beluga, Rest in Peace

We just had to put our 18 year old cat Beluga down. He was a faithful companion who didn't ask for much. He was born deaf which was a blessing considering the little Chinese person in the household would get so excited when she saw him she would just scream in that high-pitched Chinese opera tone. Had to convince her that what cats like the best is for little Chinese people to wave at them. Worked for several months until she figured that one out. This is one of the few times he let her touch him. He was my baby and he gave me 18 years of unconditional love through thick and thin. Well, maybe somewhat conditional on giving him tuna, but not much more than that.

Was just telling myself this morning that if throwing money at a problem solves it, it isn't a real problem. Unemployment, at least, is said to be reversible.
At least I don't have to report to work tomorrow with my eyes all red. Guess there is an upside after all.

We are sorry about Beluga. Don had to bring our cat in to be put down and he felt like someone had their hands around his throat. We know how you feel.
