Piewacket, our 18 year-old cat, was gone for a couple days and came home Saturday night.  He was in bad shape.  He hasn't been well for some time but came home gaunt and limping.  He would drink but not eat.  Barb and Nancy took him to the vet today and had him “put to sleep“.

More vehicle problems too.  Barb's Jeep was barely running by the time she got to work today so she turned around and came back.  She made it back okay.  Martin's Auto Service fixed it for her.  Said it was the spark plugs.  They gave it a tune up and Barb has a vehicle again so she can work--as soon as she has recovered from the loss of Piewacket.
