David Lowery of Cracker fame once labeled pets as “little grief time bombs.” We take them into our homes, give them love, and then, just when you forget they’re mortal, Boom! goes the grief bomb.

Our latest grief bomb went off this fall when we had to say goodbye to our Mouser after 11 years, and it still gets a little dusty sometimes. Earlier today while looking for something on my computer I found this video that I made with iPhoto a couple years ago, and I thought that I’d share. Enjoy. (Mouser is the striped kitty. Gandalf is the large grey tom, and our dog is Buddy)
