Trooper's Gone

Well, our cat, Trooper, 19 years old, is gone. We had to put him to sleep this past Tuesday, the 11th of January. He will be missed. He was a faithful friend in every regard. He was trusting and even caring in his own special way. He had so much fluid on his lungs and the vet just couldn't get it out and he was suffering. It is hard going around the house and not hearing him or seeing him or hear his greeting when we come in. It's almost like the expressions says, "A home without a cat is just a house." Check in later and see how we are doing.
