It's done.
Rest in peace, old guy. You had a good long run, and we did the best we could by you. You may've been a little aggravating at times, but you were loved. We'll miss you.
It's a cool and cloudy day today, thanks to the lovely rain we had last night. I guess if you've gotta die, today wasn't such a bad day to do it.
We dug him a grave out in the side yard. We told my niece and nephew last night what was going to happen, and they insisted on helping to bury him. The only reason I didn't cry with them while we were digging was because I got my sobbing out at the vet. (I'd expected it to hit a lot harder, but I guess I was more prepared than I thought.)
Afterwards, we found the pictures of him on the digicam's memory cards, and I'm sure physical photos will eventually turn up. For now, I've uploaded what I've got.
I expect this to ambush me unexpectedly over the next few days or weeks - sudden thoughts that he's not here anymore - but for now I'm holding up as well as I can. Thanks, everyone, for your condolences in the previous post. It really helps.

Cats never really leave, you know. They have no faith in the ability of their human slaves to take care of themselves. The first time something loud inexplicably falls over in another room, when you can personally lay eyes on all members of your household, that'll be him saying hello.
They get fresh salmon up in kitty heaven, you know.

I'll be sure to leave my water cup out every night, since he loved nothing more than to drink from my glass. XD
