Last week Bonn told me about seven moths who had taken up residence on our back screen porch. It was not only strange to see them in the dead of winter, but they hand landed on the screen in a formation. And then stayed that way. For several days.

Toners slept on the bed last night and, to be honest, I was somewhat surprised to see him still with us in the morning. I had thought The Bear and Tigg would have led him up to the Crab Shack, but I guess he wasn't quite ready to go.

We drove him across town this morning. He's out of pain now. And enjoying crab, shrimp, salmon and grilled chicky bird with his two brothers and Ethel at The Crab Shack.

Bonn and I are both exhausted, but know we did the most respectful thing, the necessary and loving thing.
