So sorry for the loss of your beloved furry family member. Going to go hug mine, who's lying at my feet, and send mac 'n cheese grins in honor of yours. When my son was little, and we lost beloved cats, we would make a little memorial site in the garden, strew it with rosemary for remembrance, and pick a star in the night sky. Then, whenever we looked at that star, we could see the soul of our furry friend shining down on us. I still do that, and find great comfort and communion in it.
Thanks to whomever posted it for the warning on pet food recalls, truly helpful, and scary!
