Lately it has been hard to cope for me...yesterday my cat died...I've had him my entire life, so I'm finding it very hard to move on. Of course, it's a common fact that raw emotions make beautiful artwork. For the first time in a long time, I am painting. Normally, I hate paints with a passion, but this is turning out well...I am making him immortal in this portrait. When it's done, i'll let everyone see it. Though he was strange and a bit odd, I want everyone to know my big Scooby kitty.

Scooby was a gray tabby tom, American shorthair breed. He was missing his left hind leg due to a fence accident a few years ago. His ears were very big. He hated dogs a lot, yet he acted like one, often drinking out of the toilet and digging holes, to my other cats' annoyance. He was big, and had a jiggly belly that hung down. I loved him very much. His sudden death has caused me to see how insignificant many of the problems we face are. Who cares about a breakup. My best friend is gone, boys do not matter compared to him. I think to many people take advantage of all the lives around them. We should appreciate life more and savor each moment we have with the ones we love.
