Condolences, SS. I lost my best bud about 3 years ago ("Puss"). You just can't beat a cat for pure love (when they want to give it to you, it's usually on their terms). And spooon, I know how you feel about that. I broke up with a psycho girlfriend about 3 months ago and had to let our pugs stay with her just to get away from her. I miss them like you wouldn't believe.
