A Sad Day

Today was a sad day. Today we said goodbye to Lloyd, our little terror kitty. The good news is we found him a new home with a family that we feel will treat him well. They have young boys whose kitty ran away and never came home and so their Mom was looking for a kitty to fill that void. As anyone who met Lloyd knows, he was a mercurial little bugger, to put it kindly. He caused a lot of problems in the 3 years we had him. But that didn't make it any easier saying goodbye. For all of his issues, he was at heart a loving little guy who just yearned to be the center of attention. Once Clark and Dexter came along, that kind of attention became nearly impossible. We tried everything and exhausted all options until it became clear to us that he just might be happier in a new home. We hope we are right (if we are not we told the family if he wasn't working out to bring him back). It was just heartbreaking to have Clark say goodbye to Lloyd and though he didn't really know what was happening, we will never forget what he told him: "Bye Oyd! I Yuv You!" We all do. Good luck, little guy.
