Campbell's Soup...

I can't be funny or acerbic tonight. We've just come from the veterinarian, where the doctor siphoned 17 syringefulls of fluid from around Felix's lungs. Felix is Elie's cat, who has been his constant companion for nearly 17 years. I met Felix when Elie and I started dating 6 years ago, and we have become very close over the years, though of course not nearly as close as he and Elie are. Our house is in a bit of a shock absorbing the grave prognosis.
