Life after Gus

I had a lot of different posts lined up - mostly humourous bits about Zoë and some of her new Christmas toys.  I even had a great one with Zoë and Gus.  But, it's not quite time for that yet.  Tonight, its a week since we lost Gus. Zoë continues to mope around the house.  She looks for Gus under the bed, beside the bed, behind the bathroom door.... She's started to sleep in Gussy's favourite spots as well.  Our vet, Dr. Paul Walker, told us that it was going to take some time for Zoë and that she will continue to mourn the loss of her cat brother for a few more weeks.  I can't say enough about the excellent care provided by Dr. Walker and staff.

The Pets of 2010

Kypros and I were very proud of Zoë and Gus in 2010.  Despite the age difference, peace had come between the two.  It was amazing to see the friendship that developed.  This was more than a truce it was an affinity - a bond.  We were so pleased with both of them.  If there was such a contest, both would be 'paws' down winners of dog and cat of the year!
