Just found out that Mom had to put T to sleep this week...gonna miss my little buddy. I had him for about 15 years. He was a great little guy, lived a long, happy life. Mom said the vet told her that his kidneys were failing and he was severely dehydrated. He was one of the prettiest cats you'll ever see, a perfect shiny coat. He was always a very skittish cat, afraid of his own shadow. That is probably why he lived such a long life. He was very good at avoiding trouble. I knew this day was coming soon so I am thankful I got to spend some time with him on my visit home last month. Rest in peace little one, I will miss you...

Holiday in the US & Cat Issues
I talked to my mom last night. We discussed the possibility of a visit home. Mom has been prepping the house for sale. We both agreed that it would be a good idea for me to come home before she sells the house. I need to get the stuff I have there organized and ready to be stored. Seeing the family would be great, too.
One reason I need to go home is a very somber one, I have to figure out what to do with T-Bone & Bubba, my cats. Mom can't take the cats with her. I have had T-Bone for about 14 years...he is an old guy. T has been a wonderful little buddy and I think he is just too old to make a major life change. I'm afraid it's time to consider putting him down. He has lived a long, good life. Mom says that he has slowed down considerably these past few months, and the winter is coming. He spends the majority of his time outside. As much as it pains me to do it, it's probably the most compassionate thing to do. He has been a big part of my life for a long time... Bubba is a different story. He is only a few years old and is far too silly to let go. Bubba is one of the most unique animals I've ever seen. I'm gonna have to come up with a way to get someone to tend to him until I can return home for good. So, as you can see, dealing with this issue won't be easy.
Paying for the airfare home is not fun. I've been shopping prices...about $1300 is the norm...yuck. That's a big chunk of cash. I am going to spend the next few weeks doing some serious fare searching. I hope to get home sometime in January or February. Keep thinking it might be better to wait until March or April because the weather will be a bit less harsh. Who knows? Stay tuned for further details.

Pictures! (Ohio)
A few pictures from home. Home is Ohio. About a million miles from Taiwan...lol.
This, of course, is the one-and-only Baby. Taking a quick break from wreaking havoc on the neighborhood.

Gracie. What a cutie-pie. She is the daughter that Jill so desperately needed to have in her house...lol. Far too much testosterone in the Conrad house.
My mom's house. Landscaping compliments of moi. Mom can usually be found just inside the top, right window working her magic.
T-Bone. The old man. He has been with me for about 12 years. A truly great animal. Still kicking at about 15 years old. The prettiest coat I've ever seen on a cat.
