Transcript:
Marigold: It is said that into each life, some rain must fall.
Phoebe: So this gets me out of being rained on for the next month, right?
Marigold: I do not recall making that claim.
So…this week’s strips might not be the most timely ever, and also might be a little bit more ponderous than funny. I apologize for that in advance.There’s a lot going on right now and it’s mostly awesome…but I’ve also just learned that my cat, Gladys, who sits in my lap while I draw so many of these strips, is terminally ill.So…please bear with me, and keep my kitty in your thoughts.
I hope it isn’t inappropriate, since your mind has to be on Gladys, to state that I saw that cartoon and all I could think of was “My own personal FLURRY!!!”
Very sorry, Dana, I’ve seen too many cross the Rainbow Bridge, and still counting. It’s a hard lesson to learn that, in time, the love comes in knowing when to let go. As has been said, we’ll wait….
Take care during this time of grieving and loss-it is always hard to say goodbye to a favorite companion-my screen ID helps keep two of my favorites fresh in my memory.

You have to pay attention to Gladys while you have her. We won’t mind a couple if weeks of re-runs,

So sorry to hear about Gladys. Hoping she contradicts her prognosis for as long as she wants—kitties are very tough little friends.

Sorry to hear about Gladys, poor kitty.
It’s a good thing Phoebe doesn’t live in the north-east states. A personal rain in the midst of a blizzard might make for pneumonia.

Phoebe, you live in the Pacific Northwest. It rains ALL the time….

I know how you feel, Dana, I’d be very upset if one of my cats was terminally ill. Take care of Gladys, like we said, we don’t mind the re-runs.
