Thank you all for your kind words. Apologies for not being online. DH and I are still devastated. Rover and DH were the best of buddies. I've done nothing but sleep (14 hours last night) and watch a bit of the UK Henleys online. One of the high school kids I used to carpool up to the boathouse at 4:30 in the mornings is competing.
When I get the energy, there will be what when I put it all together seems like an enormous amount of diabetic and kidney gear up for grabs, though I'm leery of mailing Lantus during the summer when it might sit in a hot truck for hours/days. Food and some of the medical stuff will go to the local no-kill shelter.
Look at those whiskers and hairy feet! People always asked if he was a Maine Coon. While he had some characteristics, I doubt it. He was born in a local dumpster on July 1st. Call it "Canada Day" if you will, but really, the entire country gets the day off tomorrow complete with fireworks in honour of Rover's birthday.
