Alf

 Alf has died. In peace. With his family. At home. I hate it when a pet goes but I always say a whispered grateful prayer when they have been lucky enough to go with love. When they aren't hit by a car, eaten by a snake, kidnapped...etc And Alf certainly had a lot of love both inside and outside of his family.

But he will be missed.....especially for

his cleanliness

 his respect for valuable Turkish carpets

His romantic devotion to cuddly toys

His ability to command a room

and his general god-like-ness

What a beautiful boy he was. I miss you already.
