This is BALCONY DOG, the GREATEST SUPERHERO!

Basically, my friends X, Penguin, and myself where walking around downtown Denver on St. Patrick's day, and I spotted a dog on a balcony of a tall building. So I made up a story in which he is Balcony Dog, a superhero! And then X crushed my dreams by telling me Balcony Dog couldn't fly. :< X can be kind of a jerk.

That's X (on the left) and me (right) in that last panel - probably the worst drawing of us ever. I forgot to put Penguin in there, oops.

This afternoon, my family's female tabby cat, George, had to be put to sleep. She had problems with her blood chemistry, and the vets thought it was an internal rupture or infection. While things could have been done to help, it would have been way too expensive, and she had low chances of pulling through.

I loved her, and I'll miss her. I'm sorry that I never made an icon for her.

And I'll be okay, if anyone is wondering. This is the fifth pet death I've experienced in my life, and the ninth general death. I've learned that it's stupid to mourn and be depressed at death. I believe in reincarnation, and either George is living it up somewhere awesome as a person, or she's being treated as a queen in India. Either way, it's good for her. And I'm going on with my life. Don't expect less art or posting or anything from me; if anything, I'll be more prolific, because this is a reminder that life is short, and we should do the best with what we have.
