Can We Still Go O/T Here? [this has a happy ending]
KingSparta:
My Cat "Buddy" Passed Away, At Age 3
GHammer:
--- Quote from: Charlemagne 8 on July 07, 2008, 11:24:13 am ---2 weeks ago I lost my job I've had for over 20 years and I'm feeling very disheartened.
On the up side, I've also recently become a grandfather -- my first -- and am quite infatuated with the little tike. He turns 6 months old today.
--- End quote ---
I know it feels terrible. I've had to reinvent myself and my career several times. And each time I'd be the first to tell you all was lost. But, after a bit, I always find something to do, somewhere to be, and find that family and friends stick close. In the end, I value who I am, not what I have, where I live, or what I drive.
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. I'll bet he appreciates that his Grandfather has some extra time to be there. You'll remember this more than setting a new record for efficiency at the workhouse.
Charlemagne 8:
I got a new job. Same money, more opportunities.
Sorry I missed that about your cat, King.
I like cats myself and have a "Buddy" about a year and a half old. He only likes me and my wife. Nobody else. No cats, no dogs, no other people -- just us.
Dogs make very good companions because they love you no matter what and I do love dogs.
Cats don't always make good companions because it seems that you have to earn their respect and you're always on probation. To me, that makes it seem more special when they DO love you.
I'm sorry for your loss.

John Gateley:
Congratulations! I make that 3 weeks total, that's really good.
