This is my first post on the forum, it is a sad one. Sorry to hear about your friend's pet, poor guy. Great name.

Oh my that is sad news. I can recall when Tom and Atticus where just starting out and Tom would post their trip reports on VFTT. Always such an enjoyable read. Their story sits on my coffee table and any time I need a good read I revisit a few chapters. They were quite a pair. RIP Atticus

I feel your pain.

The image I'm holding in my mind is one of Atticus and Emma ( Kevin and Judy Talbot's little Emma) cozied up together now and reminiscing about their adventures.
