Hey all,
I'm still going at it, but the last couple days I've been sidetracked. Today was the worst.
Lost one of my best buddies today, and had to bury him as well.
He was a cool cat, and as while he has lived in our home he and I had many lengthy conversations about many subjects over the last 3 1/2 years that we had the pleasure of having him.
Last evening, 2 stray dogs, a Pit Bull mix and a lab looking one came through our back yard, and went after Sebastion on the back deck and chased him down a back hill where they went at it. Unfortunately, I wasn't home at the time, and got home about dark. It was too late to be heading down that hill to search, even with lights. He put up one hell of a fight (I found him today), but a 16 lb. Persian, even one with his attitude, was no match for a Pit and a Lab that are known in the neighborhood to "tag-team" another dog or a cat.
Some guys like dogs..me, I love cats, and this one was close to both my wife and I...slept with us most nights, and we just this year let him out unattended for short periods as he looked so unhappy always looking out the window..wanting to be outside too.
Let me tell ya, he left the world a Warrior, and when I found him tonight and prepared to bury him I took several chunks of those dogs out from between his claws...they paid a price to get him...and will pay a MUCH BIGGER one as soon as I can find them. He rests in a place of honor on our property, overlooking the valley.
Tonight we got notice (ie: approval) from the county animal control that the dogs have been declared "Dangerous", and I can shoot them on sight if they enter my property at any time.
Rest assured, my 12 ga. is sitting by the back door, loaded (no plug) with 3" mags of BB's, and a 28" full choke. I ain't having no F%$#@! mercy for any dog that comes on my property, anymore. If I don't know the dog, and it even looks like it is going to act aggressive, it's over.
Sometimes life just sucks. Had to tell my wife that I found him...damn.,..that was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
So, I raise a bowl to him, and wish him a good journey, hoping our paths will cross again someday. Cat Heaven just gained one of our best.

More tomorow as the veg room is now complete. I'm too bummed to write about it tonight.
