There's a good reason most people are paid by the hour. Time is money. We've found that the less money we need, the more time we have for the important things in life. Simplicity and self-reliance shape our lives.

Capt. Stuebing 1997 - 2006
On Friday we made the difficult decision to put our 9-year-old cat Capt. Stuebing to sleep. I was fortunate enough to find a veterinarian who does house calls exclusively. This allowed Stu to die at home, in comfortable, familiar and loving surroundings instead of after a car ride to a sterile, unfamiliar veterinarian's office.
You can read more about Stu's diagnosis and his story in earlier posts. I am too emotionally spent to talk any more about this, but if you have any special memories of Stu, feel free to post them.

From Stu's first dog friend: Pete (hound/lab mix). I remember the first meeting between dog and cat. Both were unsure and than dog chased cat all around room and thus continued the pattern while cohabitating! Stu, being a generous cat, always shared a certain stuffed toy, Bill Clinton, that Pete would chew on. What a great cat, he will certainly be missed!! Love Jen and Pete
