Saying Goodbye...

As you may recall, I wound up with every single animal that we had in the divorce (except the wild cats outside that have pretty much vanished). Before I moved, Bart (which is the cat Scott raised from a tiny baby & that lived in his truck when he drove a big truck) had started going down hill & was craving Scott's attention... but he was too busy doing things that didn't concern his family.

Bart (AKA Lil' Buddy) passed away early this AM. He had really lost alot of weight & gone way down. It was very hard to even pet him anymore because he was so boney. I still remember some of the crazy times we had with him in the truck. He used to sleep in the sun on the dash for hours & enjoy the ride. When he would get tired, he would go back to the sleeper & put himself to bed. At times, he could be a pretty good alarm clock too. He would start trying to get Scott up when all the other trucks would leave out of the truck stop. It was his way of saying, we gotta go!
