Two weeks after my return from Hawaii, I woke up to discover that my Senior Cat, Bear, was dead. Everyone who owns a pet knows that the pet’s life is limited, but of course we don’t know how limited. And are we ever reallyprepared?

I took this picture when I was helping an animal rescue put together a newsletter. Bear was up for adoption, and he caught my eye…
