rubbs the ears, boops the snoots, tell those that ya love that ya love 'em. pour some out for those that were there and then. pour a big one for you and yours and lift it to friends and family of past, present and future.

My condolences Greasy. It's never ever easy dealing with loved ones that we've lost.

Greetings:

Deepest sympathies from Tejas. Freddie the Pug died last year. Luna will be 15 this year and I see her slowing down. I dread the day we must say Goodbye.

El Pacquito Gatito del Barrio

My tiny handsome fluffy guardian of the underworld.

Coworker, best friend and partner in crime.

A master thief of seals, gaskets, o-rings and zip ties; bringer of gifts (mostly dead, mostly eaten). Crown prince of putting his face in drinks and King of laying on the tools in the top of the box.

The Beast master deluxe.

He's the yellow eyed demon with claws in the pic.

So anyway, I just usually called him paco, paco taco or The Tacs most of the time.

Yup we did ours too, too many family members gone. But it's a nice idea, my kids didn't recognize my parents in older photos, worth the education.

Sorry to hear about your cat. Took me a couple of years to get over the last few I had and swore I would not get anymore. Ended up with this cute 3-legged rescue cat.

thanks for all the kind words folks, it means the world to me.

losing those close to you is tough, losing those that are close to your age is even tougher.

let's all hope for a better time going forward!

fwiw, Paco Taco left this universe as he arrived. on his own terms, wrapped in one of my uniform shirts and in a pacifico box.

there was a sink bath with palmolive green and a blow dry with the heat gun beforehand, as is custom.

he will return, one day to claim his rightful throne atop the tools.
(i'm having him stuffed)
