We just had a bad thing happen. We live in a 100+ year old house, with a
cistern under the back entry way. Somehow, one of my outside kittens,
Junior, got in the cistern, and drowned. I heard him crying, and tried
to get down in there, but the ladder collapsed and I almost went in.
Dave went and got a 'handy picker' and got hold of him, but before I
could grab him, he died. I saw him die. He cried so hard for me and Dave
to get him, and we couldn't in time. My poor little Junie bug!

We are going to have the cistern pumped, but until then I will put a
couple of boards down in the water so if anyone else gets in there they
will be able to get out.

We will bury him tomorrow, out in our back yard, where his cousins are
buried.

I am shaking, and will probably go to bed soon.
