A PRODUCTION FROM LEE BOTTOM FLYING FIELD
Gilmore - That Cat - Is Gone
 The last four-legged member of the Davidson troupe is gone. Gilmore has taken his last breath. Acute renal failure took him at 13. Gilmore arrived in the Davidson Shelter for Wayward Animals in the oddest of ways. While walking the runway one sunny day, Ginger heard what she believed to be a stressed baby bird. Slowly triangulating to the sound she stumbled upon a slimy little fur ball out of its element. Barely a few weeks old, square in the middle of the runway, his attendance to this place would have been inexplicable were it...
    Memories Count as ROI  Whenever I feel like strangling someone I always end up thinking about better things, better times, and the great people I have known. Last night it happened again.

The Last of the Monochrome Minidudes
Today, Bair, the sole surviving dog of our once grand monochrome cadre moved on. Aging, aching, and anemic, he ambled at best. Devoid of the Labrador spirit, he laid his chin flat on the floor between his paws and quickly went to sleep just short of the age of 13. Our family vet once told us you know it’s time when they can no longer do two of their three favorite things.
