AnimalFamily  Catslave: I was so sorry to hear of Bessie's passing. It was heartbreaking news. 19 years is such a very long life and she had the best life with you that any cat could hope for. Bessie was one of the first pets to join us here at MPOP and she has always held a special place in our hearts. You are in our thoughts during this difficult time. Stay strong and find comfort in the fact that you will be together again. It is wonderful that you have her in a special place in the garden where you can still spend time together. Take care my dear friend. Much love and hugs sent your way!!

Bock It's been cool and rainy since the first day of summer. I'm currently watching the rain blow sideways outside. This is a little confusing.
