From WA6ABC. Yeah, this is a little less of the organization of Annette, but seems like there's plenty of people on here. So appreciate everybody's contribution. And yeah, I lost a cat named Patches. Patches was my most personality filled cat. She was into everything and very cute, very funny. She got a headbutt from Patches. You knew you were in good shape. She was, uh, didn't love anybody but me really. And yeah, just a really cute cat. She suddenly started breathing funny and I gave it a day, you know, just to see if she'd come around and by second day she was flat on the floor heaving a bit and getting her in a carrier was was no small feat. I had to have somebody come over here and help trap her and get her in a carrier because she was not going. She was going to die at home and just such a strange thing to get somebody in a carrier knowing that you're headed to probably have her put down, get her out of her misery. But yeah, she was, I guess, I mean, I didn't know till I got there in the advanced stage of lung cancer. So she had hidden it for quite a while until it just, she couldn't hide it anymore. So that was the end of Patches yesterday. If anybody has my Facebook, there's a obituary I did with a little summary and a picture of her. But yeah, I don't, I don't know who's in the queue. We've had people come in and out. I guess you just throw it up in the air and see who picks it up. So I'll send it up to the ether and we'll see who picks it up from WA6, ABC, Michael and Rockaway Beach, New York. ABC, I certainly can relate. This is K-4QBC Jeff in North Carolina. Last Friday we had to take our Chihuahua in and she was also struggling with an infection that came on very rapidly and she had been, she was the same way. She just laid down. She couldn't stand up. So the infection had gone all through her body according to the vet and we had her put down. But we had that dog 16 years and she had a good long life. So we're sure it's been weird though. And you know what I'm talking about because you're always kind of looking for them or expecting to hear them. You know, we let this dog out every hour. We fed her every morning, gave her three units of insulin, same thing in the evenings. And it's just really wild not having them around after that long a period of time. But she was a great pet and she'll be hard to match. But man, we had that dog almost as long as we had our youngest son. He just turned 21. So he was five when we got her. Anyway, yeah, good memories. Y'all take it easy. I gotta run. K-4QBC, 7-3.
