Gone is gone


Although I called her Gonzo, a much better name, her actual name was Gone. The why for that is a long and not particularly interesting story.

It doesn't much matter now though. Gone is gone.

Today was a shitty, shitty day. I haven't experienced such a shitty day in a very long time. It began with a visit to a friend in palliative care at the U of A hospital. Didn't see that one coming.

It was followed by a trip to the vet with Gonzo. I came home alone.

Yes, it was a shitty day. A shitty, shitty, shitty day.

And Gone is gone.

  • Thanks. I'll probably write a less gloomy post about her soon. She was with me for 20 years!

  • Poor Gonzo, and poor you! Hope things brighten up soon.

  • I'm sure they will. In the meantime, I feel like Jack Nicholson in 'As Good As It Gets'. ("For a dog ...")

  • Many thanks to all. It seems weird feeling this way about a cat but we were together twenty years so ... well, whatever. As mentioned, I feel like Nicholson in that movie.

  • I would worry about you if you weren't sad about Gonzo. You gave her a very good life and the fact that she lived so long is evidence of how well you treated her. I'm glad you had that time with her.

  • Bill, I know how hard it is to lose a kitty, especially one so colourful (in personality) as your Gonzo seemed from your posts. I hope your memories are warm and happy ones.
