"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert Heinlein

Today we had to say goodbye to a loyal friend.

an old friend

Today we had to put one of our family’s favorite pets to sleep. As he approached the ripe old age of 16, age had simply taken too much of a toll on him. He had a long, full life of deer and bunny chasing, and we’re all sure he’s much happier now.

I decided I’d blog the occasion to make sure I always remembered him. The most loyal of friends deserve that.
