I'm sorry, Sophie.

Tonight was the first night of the new season of chorus, and I'm stoked because I like the songs we're singing. Among them: one of the songs I recommended. Go me!

I have jury duty tomorrow, bah. I wouldn't mind so much but it's in frelling Hayward, which is way out of my way.

Much love, Sophia. I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm glad she had such a good, long life with you. We lost our sweet kitty Mia a few weeks ago. It's been a rough summer for Buffista kitties.

I am very sorry, Sophia and Pix.

Thank you all. condolences to the PixDesign family as well. Many years ago, on Tabletalk I remember everyone was so kind when I lost Mr Kitty as well. This is different and less raw because I am older and so was Miss Bobo. She had a good long life and I am happy she seemed peaceful in her repose. I am a bad kitty mommy and don't have a regular vet, so I have to figure out what to do with her as I do not have a hard to bury her. I can call the city for disposal of try to preserved til the weekend where I will be at my moms, or maybe tonight bury her at my friend Maria's. I think I am up for disposal, as my family in general doesn't care so much about the body once life has left it we are a cremated in a cardboard box with no ceremony kind of people, but that also involves a phone call and leaving her in the side of the road in a paper bag, which seems horrifying. Also, I don't think I have a paper bag. I know I tend to focus on the really practical details when stressed because my emotions are too much to bear (I am an INFP, so if you are familiar with Myers Briggs, I go into a Te shadow spiral when stressed)

Also, kindle autocorrect is horrible. I don't have a yard.

Sophia, I am sorry for your loss. On a practical note, if you feel comfortable doing so we have wrapped a cat in a plastic bag and kept her in the freezer until ready to bury her. Gives you time to make a plan.

Thanks flea. Not having another adult human in the mix, I wondered if the freezer was an option, but I had no one to ask!

I'm really sorry, Sophia.

{{Sophia}} In the yard with tears aplenty was the destination for my kitties that didn't run away. Darn dogs are too big for that.
