In which we have a terrible week

This week started off badly.  At 7:30 pm on Sunday night, I commenced throwing up.  At 4:00 am Monday morning, Shawn joined me.  It was like a reverse colon cleanse.  It was gnarly and nasty and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.  

Tuesday, we had to put Mac down.  After 15 years, he developed kidney disease leading to kidney failure.  Though we didn't have him long, he made his mark.  For one he was the longest, tallest cat I have ever seen.  

For the most part he was quietly in the background.  We'll miss him.
