Gratitude

I'm grateful to all of you who've left comments in response to Clyde's passing yesterday.

We weren't really prepared for this. We knew something was wrong with Clyde--he hadn't been eating much for the past month or so, and for a cat that once weighed 19 pounds and had maintained a pretty robust appetite even into the thinning of old age, that was especially worrisome. But we didn't know what was wrong; blood tests were inconclusive. He had become very weak over the past two weeks, and things hit a crisis point late yesterday afternoon, sending us to the emergency clinic at the vet school.

I think I'll be able to get back to regular blogging tomorrow. Thanks for your patience, in the meantime. And thank you again, truly, for your words.
