Well, I've had an unfortunate incident that is totally unrelated to anything any of you may be familiar with, or particularly care about. I have recieved word that one of my personal favorite cats living at home with my family, Moose, had another run-in with a stray dog in the neighborhood. While this news may not concern any of you, he was one of the only cats to actually born in the house he grew up in with us, and the news that he had become fatally wounded with a hole in his skull as the direct result of this large dog has impacted me particularly hard, and I may not be in the best of spirit as as a result. We live in a largely unpopulated area, and this not the first time he has been injured, but he always recovered. We never found the dog or the owners responsible, and my family has deemed it acceptable to deal with any future incidents on our property armed with the rifle. (It is very much legal where we live, for any concerned.)

In short, I am sad, I loved my friendly, awkward cat, Moose. Rest in peace little buddy.

(I intend to update this later with a pic or two of him after I obtain some.)
