Sorry about Tinkerbell. They leave a hole in our life when they leave, but you gave her a great life - good on you. And there’s a shelter cat tonight waiting for a new home.
I was told a long time ago that we outlive all of our pets except the last one - didn’t seem important until I hit 60 or so.

RIP Tinkerbell. She picked the right person to follow home.
We lost 2 cats between April and August this year. They were in my life for 14 years and I wasn’t prepared for how fucking painful it would be when they went. It got easier after a couple of weeks or so for me but I still have sad moments about it. The real bastard is that I’ve got more of this to come with our 2 dogs.
It sucks dude. RIP Tinkerbell.

Hope it’s “a” mouse.
I had a rat family get into our garage a few years ago - thought we had mice (common in our area) but coming home from work saw a much-too-big-to-be-a-mouse sized blur running into the back when I hit the garage door opener. One of our cats greeted me at the door and made it clear that he didn’t do rats.
So I got a slightly bigger Have-a-heart trap and with a bit of peanut butter cause a huge fat rat. Walked him down the street about five houses and dropped him off in a lawyers yard for professional courtesy reasons - couldn’t catch any more (they’re smarter than mice) and had exterminator out who cleaned out another 6 rats. Made a huge goddam mess, and I’m still finding the occasional turd three years later.

If you had a rat you’d likely know it - they’re at least a magnitude greater in destructive capability over a mouse. And Mouse Hunt is a great movie.

Went to a wedding in Blowing Rock, NC this weekend. Got to see the sunrise from the Blue Ridge Parkway and hike to the top of Grandfather Mountain.
