Nanki-Poo is gone. I still can't believe it. He came into my life on November 10, 2004. I took him to the vet this afternoon. His sores were healing, and I was hoping I could soon let him go outdoors. I noticed he was breathing hard when I took him out of the carrier at the vet's. So did the...

When I was a kid I was harrassed, and beaten up by both Irish and black bullies who picked on me for being Jewish.
