Thank you. I appreciate the words. I can already tell the feeling of this loss will never really go away. Yet, that is the way it is with pets and you know it logically that some day their time will come to an end. It does not soften how hard it is though. You miss them.

Taiko- at first he did not really seem any different, like he thought she was just away on an extended vacation. Now, you can tell he misses her and wants her back. I have to accompany him in the yard or he will not go out. When we come home from shows, he rushes into the house believing she will be there to greet us and when she is not, he goes looking for her. When he does not find her, you can tell he is disappointed. He play bows the cat hoping she will chase him, and although she never has in the past, he may convince her. Those two have kind of a Garfield and Odie relationship. They secretly adore eachother, but it is not pubic knowledge.

Moving on with life, we made the decision yesterday to take in a puppy. We do not have her yet and are still holding back a tiny bit until we meet her. The day we had to put Kita down, a friend was telling me an old wives tale about how the universe will "give you a dime" to tell you you are on the right path when making a hard decision. I was at the store yesterday and paying with a credit card. Yet, the cashier gave me a dime for change. So, the universe is trying to tell me something I guess.
