Thanks Ronin for the tribute to MTB. My Cyberson's passing has left a
permanent hole in my heart, but his legacy continues to bring me
happiness.
Things have not been so happy of late for my current batch of loved
boys. T-Bone and Mac have each gone through some very traumatic
changes this past week. I cannot help Bone he has entered the adult
world in a very big way int he past week. Tomorrow it goes to another
level.
Bone's changes have left Mac at an unexpected crossroads. But he and I
were able to achieve a breakthrough this week by getting some
perspective. Mac is going to be alright. Sometimes knowing you are
loved is enough.
All my best to you Ronin, and to all in The Fort.
