W.P. 1991?-2011
Three of us went to the vet clinic tonight. Two of us came home, leaving a large piece of our hearts behind.
Sometimes doing the right thing hurts like hell.

Wrapping for Cats
Yup, it’s that time of year again, when the new star burning brightly doesn’t herald the birth of a new King, but instead signals me the there’s an incipient ulcer flaring in the GI tract. It’s my annual “wrap books for donations to the cat shelter” event at the local branch of a national book…
Shorts, Part 2: Post-Postscript
I showed up for my appointed shift this morning at 9:00 am. The Senior Technician was already there. Her first response: “I was afraid of this.” We both looked at the schedule, and it was my name on from 9:00-4:00. Both she and the Head Pharmacist said that was an error. Senior Tech said, “Well…
The Dam Breaks
subtitled: I felt like writing tonight. Iâve been to Holland, and seen the sights. I experienced Amsterdamâs âRed Light Districtâ, and the architecture of The Hague (which apparently means âthe hedgeâ in literal translation) and Iâve shopped till my companions dropped in Delft. I saw the modern dike system, and bird watched and visited the…
The problem with a tarp ….
The way I see it, I’ve got a choice. 1) I can let the cherries hit pavement, and then let the birds and squirrels deal with the fruit and then let the rain deal with the bird and squirrel droppings. -OR- 2) I can put a canopy up. They tend to have sloped tops that…
Home Again, Home Again
Jigitty jig. Adolescent cat from Hell was perfectly chipper when I got home from work Friday. Looks like she’s strong enough to throw off the Kitty Flu without much more than a momentary *URP*. So the Professor and I took off for the mountains (such as they are in my state) for three days of…
Welcome back comments!
I’m pleased and surprised that comments are back. I was afraid this was going to take a far longer amount of time than it did. DD admins must have bust a gut getting a fix out there. It’ll be nice to exchange communiqués again. I’ll leave a link to my board up for general discussion…
Oh yes it does â¦
hurt like hell.
I’m so sorry.
Oh no, poor WP. And poor Salamander and Prof. Thinking of you all 🙁

I’m so sorry. She’ll leave a huge gap.
WP had such presence that I feel as if I knew her, even though I never had the privilege of being subjected to her steely gaze.
Please pass on my condolences to the Professor, the one member of your family whom I’ve been lucky enough to meet in person.
Oh, I’m so, so sorry. My condolences to you and especially to the Professor, as he was her human "slave." I’m sure she will be sorely missed. Please give him a hug for me.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Condolences and ((hugs)) to you both. You guys gave her a wonderful life, I know.
I’m so sorry.
We are so sorry! She was some cat. You must feel such a void. Twenty years is a long time. She obviously had the best of slaves. Hubby says, "Tell her I’m sorry to hear it, and I can sympathize with the loss of their pet very deeply."
I think I just saw him wiping his eyes.
I’m so sorry but you’ve given her the best gift by letting her go before she really suffered. Were I a cat you’d be my choice in a human.
So sorry for you and the prof. one of the hardest thing you can have to do.
So sorry….
