El gato de doña Caritina Galeana Gómez (qepd), Prieto, se reunió con ella hoy.. Gracias doña Cari por prestárnoslo por un ratito. Prieto fue un gran compañero muy querido y cariñoso con todos. Lo vamos a extrañar muchísimo.

The cat that belonged to doña Caritina Galeana Gómez (rip), Prieto, was reunited with her today. Thank you doña Cari for loaning him to us for a little while. Prieto was a great companion who was well loved and loving with everyone. We're going to miss him very much.

Gracias, amiga. We buried him in his favorite spot. It's been a rough few days, especially for mi amada, mi santa mujer. She is a wonder to behold.

Thanks for the kind words, Connie. It was our privilege to have Prieto in our family for these past years. He shared his affection with us, the feeling was mutual, and he made a lot of good friends.

He was huge and very friendly. And we were very amused to see him waiting outside Lupita's shop or your door when it was dinner time. He was a great cat. QDEP Saludos y un abrazo a Lupita.

Thank you for those lovely comments. He often hid under cars in the street out front when the sidewalk was in the sun, and he'd poke his head out at the first sound from our door. Sometimes a dog would harass him, but he seemed to handle himself well without having to claw anyone's eyes out. He loved living outdoors, but I only saw him attack a pigeon once and I gave him hell for it. Never saw him bother them afterwards. He'd come visit in our house, but he wanted to be outdoors lying either on the sidewalk or in the plaza across the street. Big or small, adopted or bloodline, it's still tragic losing a family member.
Abrazos much appreciated.

You're so right Rob. We haven't had a pet in 25 years, but my dog Pork Chop, at 15 years old, needed to rid herself of her pain and I was the one that had to make the decision, she could not. Having her "put down" was perhaps the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It was as if I was pulling the plug on one of my own children. I mourn your loss with you amigo

I had to have Blueberry, my Lab, put down at age 14. It broke my heart and I swore I'd never have another dog.
