Just a brief break from our usual programming. Yesterday I had to put down my cat "Winston". Just shy of 14 years old the little fella's kidney's finally gave out after a long battle with diabetes, kidney disease, and pancreatitis, that featured a surprisingly quick ending (in exactly one week he went from playing and being himself to complete kidney failure). Now, I am posting this in part because sometimes I think we forget that the blogs we follow feature real people behind them, but there is also another reason more germane to the topics normally found on this website.
