My aunt (who lost her husband this summer) just lost one of her dogs today. A fb friend/local acquaintance did as well, and I encouraged my aunt to do what she did: gather stories.
As Willow goes, so goes my nation.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Gracie sounds like a wonderful cat. I'm glad she's had the kind of life she wanted, and good humans to take care of her. There's something about black part-Siamese cats; I had two, brother and sister, for a long time. Very talky, very smart.

Gracie sounds like a great cat.
We found on the steps of one house -- just a mouse head. It was like a tiny Godfather tableau for, say, a dollhouse.
Clio once left the head of the mouse under the coffee table. I was glad it wasn't in my bed, at least.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Gracie sounds epic

I made a cake for my coworker who is a retiring tomorrow. First, the whisk broke as I was mixing it. Then,it stuck to the pan. While I was picking the stuck bits out of the pan, I found a little plastic bit of the handle of the whisk. I had thought I got all the pieces. Now I am worried there are more, and I shouldn't bring in the cake at all. (I also have a pie.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
There is even thunder going on which is weird!
I don't even have to check weather to know that when I share weather systems with LAistas, it's going to be raining most of the night.

Gracie sounds fantastic. The bird thing more because I wasn't there. Yikes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The bird thing made me laugh so hard!

I just lost the LDB game courtesy of the Vince Guaraldi Peanuts Xmas album. At least it was as classed-up a version as you could imagine.
