Herbert

November 1996 – 7 May 2007

I’ve never been known as a great enthusiast of my own species, but it seems indisputable that the planet would be better off if cats and humans swapped life expectancies. This year has not been kind to the feline companions of Lawyers, Guns and Money. After a terribly unproductive battle with diabetes, Herbert spent the last week begging for help; tonight, we obliged his wishes. Since the official LG&M response to this sort of trauma is to get loaded, I’m going to finish off a two-liter bottle of Bartles and Jaymes and go pour a St. Ides on the backyard grave I dug this evening.

Bless you, Herbert. You won’t be forgotten.

If you really want to feel miserable, the full obit is here.
