I am a dog guy and I have had some mangy mongrel around throughout my life. This my first real cat experience. My current dog spotted on Socks passed away on my front porch this morning and barked until I came to see what it was. The dog has been moping around all day. I hope she is not wondering if I am going to put her in a box and bury her by the fish pond.

I appreciate all of the kind words from everyone.
