But I'm glad you found him and put him out of his misery. So much better than if he had had to die a much slower, painful death.<br /><br />When we lived in Illinois we had a couple of good barn cats. One was K.R. (short for Killer, the fantastic mouser). I was working out in the front yard one day when I noticed him coming Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-58202555140905175642010-08-17T13:14:20.308-04:002010-08-17T13:14:20.308-04:00I'm so sorry to hear about Chris.

Sorry you and the family are going through this. The one drawback to us animal lovers is that we will go through this many times in our comparably long lives.

I didn't expect this to be my "I'm back" post either as I've got so much other good stuff to write about -- like ducklings and giant vegetables and good stuff in the kitchen.
