Hobby

I finally finished the first chainmaille bikini for Gorgeous. I figured I would post it so everyone can see how productive I am over here in Kosovo.

Kitty

Unfortunately Kitty passed away yesterday. The vet called Gorgeous shortly after I signed off for the night to inform her that Kitty had started taking deep breaths and they thought she was having another seizure so they got her out of the cage and held her. That is when she finally passed away.

Today Gorgeous and her father buried Kitty in the backyard. I will be able to visit her when I get home. I will miss her a great deal. I have had her since she was a kitten 12 years ago. She started out as Molly then Fluffytail, and finally settled on Kitty. It seems like she was always around but never in the way. Unless she was hungry.

Mud didn't handle the news very well. She was on the phone with Gorgeous for an hour or so since she is with her mother for Christmas. I tried calling today but couldn't get through since all the lines were busy. Maybe tomorrow I can get through.

Make a nice day.

Death

I am losing something that I Love very much. I am powerless to stop it. Time waits for no one and death is inevitable. I haven't had to do this in many years. The last time it happened I cried for hours. I am now fighting back tears because of this. It seems as though Kitty has grown too old with too much fat and now she is having seizures. The vet has her on IV's. She can't eat, she cant drink, and she can't even move. She is unable to lift her head. When Gorgeous visits with her, she purrs and tries to love on her, but can't. The vet thinks that if she doesn't get better tomorrow, then it is unlikely that she will. I can barely say it, but we are going to have to put her to sleep tomorrow. I can't even hold her and tell her how much I will miss her being around, rub her fat belly one more time.

Tell your Pookie that you Love them and make a nice day.

Snow

In the past 3 hours it has snowed 2 inches. It is supposed to continue snowing through Saturday. I hope it doesn't. Sure it is pretty and all, but it really sucks to have to go out in it.

A dude on a riding snowblower just went past my window.

I gotta move south...


Make a nice day!

Winter

I woke up to snow on the ground this morning. Only about an inch so far but it is still snowing. It is supposed to snow all day today and all day tomorrow, then warm up on Monday. I guess we will find out if the weather folks are any good in their forecasts.

Make a Nice Day!

The more things change...

Saturday night saw some unwanted excitement over here. Seems that a German soldier who was going home on Monday didn't want to go home. Evidently he lost his father when he had been here for about two months and then a couple of weeks ago his grandfather passed away as well. So instead of talking to anyone about it, he walked out of the Irish pub and in the middle of the main thoroughfare put his weapon to his head and pulled the trigger. The folks who saw it said there was not much left of his skull. The BX has a bullet hole in the side of the building now as well.

I didn't even know this young man, but I wish I would have been able to talk to him. Somethings will never change. I pray that God grants him peace and forgiveness and gives his family the strength to move on.


Tell your Pookie you Love them and Make a nice day.
I Love You Gorgeous.
