RIP Calvin kitty

Yesterday, I put down my fifteen year old cat. He was diabetic and went downhill quickly over the course of three days with what the vet believes was cancer (a definitive diagnosis would have required a biopsy, and he was too sick to have survived it). 

In looking through my computer files, the above picture was the only one I could find of him! I could have sworn I had a ton of him sleeping on various people and objects, but I think those images may have gone when my old computer crashed. 

Word to the wise people, if you have pets, take lots of pictures! And if you store them on your computer, back up often! 

I'm going to miss Calvin even though he was the meowingest, most demanding cat in the West, but, I gotta tell ya, no more pets for HRH - it's too hard when they die and, to quote an old buddy flick, I'm getting too old for this shit. RIP, Calvin.
