In Moscow you get torn up pages of Pravda if you are really lucky.

And don't forget the Nutty Buddy wrappers!

I had given up on my plan to launch a new brand of TP. But you have solved my marketing conundrum for me Coming soon to your local Bed, Bath & Beyond: True Grit!

Dang. I thought you were going for Pravda page TP. That one might actually sell, especially in Ukraine.

So, this week was annual check up week for my cats. Unfortunately, two were diagnosed with cancer. Grant, the soon to be 15 year old male, has been with me through 3 states, 2 apartments and 2 houses. He has greeted me home after an East Region semi shellacking by Villanova in 2009, Final Four wins and an NCAA title in Indy in 2010, Sweet Sixteen and Elight Eight wins in Houston en route to a 2015 title, and a Final Four appearance in the Big Easy in '22. On the football side, an exciting but ultimately a Sun Bowl loss in 2014. He will be around for a bit longer, 4-6 months is the current prognosis, but his cancer is fairly unusual: 1 in up to 30k vaccinated cats get it and it is fairly aggressive.

Mary, the most recent addition to the family, recently turned ten. Born with limited eyesight due to microopthamalia, she has been a Texan for life. She does share my allergies to mountain cedar. More of a Vandy fan she has been with me through 2 baseball titles and two runner ups, a couple NCAA basketball appearances and 3 bowl appearances. And of course two bowling titles (Hail Pinman). She is always the first to remind me when it is dinner time and loves to be pet after to aid the digestion process. Her cancer is a bit more common and current prognosis is 1-2 years.

Sorry to hear it. Pets are part of us.

Sorry to hear it. Pets are part of us.

Yes. Furry friends very quickly become furry family. It's tough to say good-bye.

Having shared a home with kits for thirty-some years I've had to say good-bye more than once. It's never easy, but it didn't stop me from finding new furry family.

Big Korean presence in Vancouver?

Just a huge Asian presence in general.

I'm sorry to hear about this diagnosis for the two of them.

Yes same sentiments here. Losing pets stink and seems like such a gratuitous reminder that life in this form is finite. I’m sorry you’re having this tough go of it and Seemingly timed to coincide with the holidays All the best.

Thanks, all. Trying to figure out how to make the best of the situation.

If you don’t eat as much food, maybe she’ll turn a profit.
