Yeah, but the thought was nice. And I think Reese has a good heart to go out of his way to give Al his condolances.

You're a good person, Reese.

I, too had a fellow animal friend who succumed to death's cruel sense of humor.
His name was Charlie. He and his Calico-colored sister, Nancey, were both mixed breed Bobtails (Manx + ?). Dad and I bought them when I was 6, and I loved them both so much that I had litterally hugged the poop out of Charlie.
I remember it fondly: One Saterday morning I woke up. Charlie and Nancey were already awake.I was bored, so I stuffed the robe-belt in my pajama pants and ran around the room, the cats batting the tip of the belt with their paws.
Then one horrible day, I found Charlie to be missing. That night, I recieved grave news. Charlie was killed by our current dog (demon) Kelly. Needless to say, Kelly was put to rest.

Charlie, May God guide your soul to Heaven.

P.S. We kept Nancy with us up to my 12th year. Then I found out that I was allergic to cats. Ironic, isn't it? Nancy had a tearful goodbye as we bid her farewell and she left with a foster family. I miss her so.

I feel your pain, Alcar. I do.
