It's been a hard three weeks since he went, but I've got to remind myself all the time that others go through the same sense of bereavement and then move on, however difficult that is. I do still miss him like nothing else, though. He's got a permanent unique place in my heart and memory.

But as I was returning from the cinema yesterday afternoon he was also returning from walking his dog. He asked how Blackso was so I told him he'd passed on. He asked, apparently shocked (which I think was genuine) when it happened. I told him Monday morning at 5.45. "I'm so sorry." he said. I just said "I miss him dreadfully." and hurried inside.<br />If only I could leave this place. He is now the major reason above all else why I'd like to leave - and now with Blackso gone that's one less reason to want to stay. I've had 14 addresses in my life and Mr Nasty is the most unpredictable and cantankerous (and potentially dangerous) neighbour I've ever had anywhere. I just wish 'Nature' would step in and somehow relieve me of his presence. There, I've said it - again!Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-13640358373604284572017-07-12T17:51:36.148-07:002017-07-12T17:51:36.148-07:00Ray,

On both sides we have wonderful neighbors. That wasn't the case when we lived in Pennsylvania. Even in this neighborhood we could easily have had some of the less desirable neighbors which are in this development where we live. We are lucky. We all want to live a life of peace, especially in our old age. I hope things have settled down for you and your neighbor now.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-20018782780426512952017-07-11T08:12:15.547-07:002017-07-11T08:12:15.547-07:00Of course you are right in suggesting that's t...Of course you are right in suggesting that's the way it SHOULD be done, Judith, but I'm not sure my mind has sufficiently settled to be capable of it. In fact I know it hasn't.

Practically every day at some point I hear him yelling into his phone, effing this and effing that. Exactly who's on the other end, of course I have no idea, but whoever it is/they are, it's standard behaviour for him.<br />I haven't yet told him about Blackso's passing but sooner or later I'm going to bump into him (I've only got one way out of this place, which is right past his door, while he has two exits). If when I tell him he indicates in any way that I was to blame for bringing on my dear Blackso's death - and I wouldn't put it past him to do that - I'm just going to totally lose it. Sure he's got his own problems as we all have, only some of us manage to stop our own matters invading the lives of others, especially in such a confrontational manner. I'm spending so much energy in trying to contain my loathing of the man.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-77079949055829610322017-07-11T01:19:18.107-07:002017-07-11T01:19:18.107-07:00I think he did only mean it for the best but had n...I think he did only mean it for the best but had no skills to do it.

After new and disturbing signs last night, which looked might they might be terminal, I was hoping he might have passed away peacefully in the night. Waking up at 4.30 a.m, I found him lying in the litter tray but with one leg rising and falling with his breathing. Then at 5.45 he gave a couple of big swallows of air and then was still, looking like his breathing had stopped. I haven't dared to touch or disturb him by putting food under his nose in case he's still there. Now, at 7.45, he's still not moved. I really do hope now that he's passed on in blessed peace. At 9.30 the vet opens. Before then I'll have to check if he really is there or not. (I'm weeping like anything as I type this.) I'll post news later. :-(Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-59404297716205567472017-07-09T21:54:45.011-07:002017-07-09T21:54:45.011-07:00Oh my God!
