I have sad news today.  Yesterday our aged cat, Weaver, went to the veterinary opthalmologist for surgery to take his eye out.  He had developed glaucoma in one eye that eventually turned into an eyeball of pus.  While the surgery itself went okay, poor Weaver went into respiratory arrest while under the anesthesia and did not recover.  So we said goodbye to the coolest member of our household.  He will be greatly missed.

Weaver was really hard to take photos of because he was so all-over black.  Here’s a terrible one but it’s the best I’ve got:

Those of you with pets, please give ‘em an extra hug tonight.
