Lighting a candle

Vogue
Thank you for your individuality, your loyalty, and for all the stories you’ve starred in. Your people will miss you greatly, but you left a cat-shaped hole in other hearts as well.

Well, this one is probably the least serious of all of them that have passed through Dear Diary recently, I got this from Fury22’s entry of earlier today ( Fury22 ), who in turn stumbled across it in Hidingbehindmyself’s Diary. We really should do a whisper down the lane thing here, where everybody keeps track…
I spend a fair amount of time outside the main building where I work, walking from point A to point B and then back again. My main route takes me up a steep concrete ramp about forty feet in length. The ramp isn’t cleared of snow when the rest of the plant is cleaned up…
Dr. Fell called back at 8:10 last night. He and my transplant surgeon have agreed that until we get the results of the staging tests back we should start treating topically.

You know that plan to stick it out for at work for two years I mentioned in my last entry? I’m re-evaluating. I got the schedule for the next four weeks that afternoon. After next week, I’ve been cut back to two eight-hour shifts per week. No notice, no explanation, no nothing. When I approached…
Oh dear…
So sorry.

BassPlayer was home for lunch when I got notified about this, so he saw it, too. We both thank you very, very much for this, and for your encouraging words elsewhere. They mean a lot, coming as they do from someone with your own background in veterinary medicine.

What a gorgeous little face! I really wish I had known her.
rest in peace Vogue, i didn’t know you but i do know that your kind are true innocents in the world and bring amazing amounts of joy with no strings attached.
