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
