This episode was very touching and it reminded me of when I had to go through the same thing with my two cats. Like you I had my two cats for over 13 years each and they are part of your family.

It takes courage to share the emotional side when it comes to podcasting and I thank for doing this. I know it wasn’t easy but often these shows are the ones that touch the listeners the most. I have had my share of these on my show and so I can relate.

I have two cats Bristow and Repeat and my dog Starbuck who help make my life a little better with their love and of course drive me crazy from time to time.

Thank you very much for your care and comment, I really appreciate it.

Fio,

Thanks for your thoughts and message. It’s much better these days. But we both still get a little sad when we think of her. Many things remind us of her.

This past weekend, Bruce and I took a trip to IKEA as our anniversary trip. Bought some furniture and some organizational tools. We had a great time. I posted some pictures on Flickr.

I sobbed on my way to the office this morning when hearing the bad news. Though sad, you’ve made a right decision which set both you and your girl free. Taché would surely understand and appreciate it.

Eleven years! Congratulations. It’s not easy right? My partner and I are having our fourth year of relationship which is largely sweet

Take very good care, John.

Jeff & Kenny, yes, Harry Potter tail. We really missed her, but we have lots of fond memories of her.

I, too, believe that monogamous relationship works better than any other arrangements. Probably because of my upbringing , I grew up in a religious family setting (Catholic, that is), went to Catholic high school and college. But also I can attribute my belief on monogamy on personal experiences and ideals. I’m a jealous type of guy who is sometimes (unconsciously) possessive so open relationships doesn’t really work for me. Overall, it is the value and pride of having one-on-one relationship that is the most important of all. And I don’t see any difference between gay or straight relationship, they both have their ups and downs – others cheat others don’t and there are those who stayed together for better or for worse and there are those who parted ways because of their differences.

I wish I was there to give you a hug.

I’m glad that you have Bruce there with you.

Your Nashville Friend,

Thom

Interesting to hear your thoughts on “The Journey.” I’ve always tried my best to believe that The Journey IS the Destination. Take care.

I am doing fine. I was indeed emotional at the moment. Bruce and I miss Taché very much. But we are not dwelling on her death. In fact, we were looking at pictures of her and a funny video of her playing with us on top of our bookshelves.

Thanks all.

I am really sorry.
