RIP Hobo


today, wow. it was one of those days where you wish you could rewind and do over. or just fast forward to get through it quicker. (warning: the following contains BAD NEWS.)

today our cat hobo died - struck by a car on good old shiawassee street. yes, it was in fact a hit and run. (SUV) major bummer. the street in front of our home is pretty busy, especially around end of work day. i was just telling joe yesterday how hobo has basically used up 7 of his 9 lives on shiawassee alone. he caused a car accident once in front of our house as some good folks dodged frantically to not run him over (true story). hobo was quite the popular neighborhood cat. everyone loved him. neighbors let him in their homes. hobo followed people (even strangers) into town. he was basically the official cat of farmington.

in case you were wondering, yes hobo was his real name. he was already named when we got him from the humane society back in 2004. he was a hobo who actually had a home. we will love and miss our little maine coon furry buddy. farmington won't be the same without you.
