I wish that I could reply personally to each of you, but the outpouring of sympathy, support and love we have received in response to Dub’s death has been truly overwhelming. The last several days have been difficult, but we have taken so much comfort in your comments, email and text messages, and we are so very grateful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We’re back from our trip, but our return has been marred by deep sadness due to the sudden loss of a very beloved member of our little family. I’m so numb right now I can barely think about eating, let alone cooking.
I’ll be back but I can’t say when. Right now I just need to mourn and comfort Mike and Dub’s sister and littermate Kali. Our kitchen is not the same without him weaving around my ankles trying to help, and sitting at the computer this morning, trying to blog in the ratty bathrobe he so loved, feels strange without him curled in my lap purring and grabbing at my hands to scratch his belly.
If you have a pet, give them a little extra love today - there’s no such thing as too much.
