I've quietly declared Spooky dead today. This picture was taken the day he went missing. It's been 2 weeks, so I'm pretty sure he isn't coming home. I decided to not say anything to the kids otherwise there would have been crying and I really don't want to do that. So here is a little homage to Mr. Spooky, I will miss that darn cat even though he was the naughtiest and craziest I ever had. Spooky really enjoyed killing things, a lot. Just before he disappeared he brought home a grouse. Otherwise it was a constant stream of mice and much to my dismay several birds. He loved to be outdoors but always came home at least once a day for a nap either on Joe's bed or in a stream of sunshine somewhere. He really liked Joe and only really seemed to have time to allow him or Payton to pet him. When you called his name and he would lift his tail into the air, it was so cute, I chuckled every time. Good bye our friend, we will miss you. (Maybe even Neil just a little.)
