The Day that will Live in Infamy

Apparently, May 02, 2008 was a day I should not forget. I lost my brother of almost 4 years and didn't even realize it. My brother, Noir, had been sick off and on for a couple of months and no longer wanted to play or do much. My dad took him to the vet on Thursday, May 1st and that was the last I saw of him. I was able to say good-bye, though I didn't know what it really meant until the day he passed. Dad brought him home to prepare him for his funeral and once I discovered what was going on I could do nothing but hiss my anger!! I did not attend the funeral but will visit his grave in the coming days.

However, 3 days after the passing, my dad left and was gone. After two days with no word or explanation, I decided something really bad was going on and tried to make alliances with my dad's roommate, the loud one called Nard, and his girlfriend. I was starting to get my required loving when my dad finally returned from his trip and I was able to make my presence known. Since Noir's passing I have become even closer to my roommate, Midnight. He tends to leave scratches and bites on me, which I believe is because Noir isn't watching the house anymore, but Midnight will rest with me and gives me some excerise throughout the day.

I expect to get another young brother sometime soon, but it will probably wait until Midnight is no longer my roommate, which unfortunately is not too far off. I don't expect to find a replacement for Noir, seeing as he taught me all the ropes, but I plan to honor his memory by being a big brother to whoever else stops by!
