The one that lives in our house(belongs to my middle daughter from college)has lymphoma and is about eleven. The tumor is behind the left eye. About a month ago he came home looking like he had been in a bad fight, his left eye looked horrible. Little did I know cats have three eyelids and the extra one is on the bottom and pops up to cover and protect the eye, but looks like something from a cat horror movie. About a week later my oldest daughter removed the extra eyelid and he looks normal and can see just fine. They give him chemo once a month and other sorts of medicine. I'm not a cat person but Manny is okay and gets along with the pitbull. When they are gone no more pets, I've had enough in my life. Maybe I will set up a fish tank again.

If you've had enough of dying pets, a fish tank is the worst option, in my experience.
Wow, you lost a lot of cats in one year - that must have been rough. Iris was the runt of the litter, and was always really small. The vet thought she probably had some congenital or at least chronic condition. We still have her mother and brother, and three other cats from another litter, who are about a year younger.
In June, I had to put down my precious boy Tiberius...my Seal-point Siamese cat. He was only 9 years old and had very advanced cancer (Lymphoma). Needless to day I was devastated. I'd been a cat owner for over 35 years. I just couldn't get another one. But still wanting a pet companion, I got a puppy...first time dog owner. He's a Schnoodle (Schnauzer/Poodle cross). His name is Zefram and he is 4.5 months old now. His middle name is "Zevon" as he is definitely an "Excitable Boy"...LOL!!! He is very affectionate...loves people. I can't wait to watch him grow up.

They're both a couple of beautiful specimens. Congrats on the latter, condolences on the former.
A lovely dog. Mine passed at 9 in September (a cocker spaniel and a very important part of our family). Sorry for your loss.

Goddamn, Bob from Sesame Street died! I actually didn't know he was still alive, but it's a sad day. RIP, Bob!

Did I miss the dead of Ian McDonald?
Multi-instrumentalist in King Crimson. I wonder how Foreigner would have sounded if they had used more of his multi-instrumentalism.
There were a couple of threads which were quickly merged:

Rick Dashiell passed today. Big friend of the prog scene. There's going to be a tribute event next Saturday at Orion Studios in Baltimore.
Unfortunately I am serious. Lost a battle to cancer earlier today. He was a good dude and I will definitely miss our chats.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Do not suffer through the game of chance that plays....always doors to lock away your dreams (To Be Over)
Met Rick a few times over the years.
RIP
