Paul ‘DaddyBird’ Castle

When my daughter was little, sometimes we’d pretend to be birds. She was the baby bird and I was the daddy bird. I still am.

Pour one out for the late, great Big Eyes Bert. A long-time companion (16 and 1/2 years) and sweet, patient boy had been showing signs of age the last couple of years, and now he’s joined Oliver across the rainbow bridge. Rest in eternal peace, Bert. Good kitty.

@dmd_dxb Great! Walking is good exercise as well as fun.

Hope all my Freons in the U.A.E. are okay and well. You are in my thoughts. Miss you.

And then there were two.

Dear friends, it’s the worst news: My wonderful wife, Karla, lost her years long battle with cancer yesterday morning. The last few months she had many struggles and hospitalizations. It’s good that she is no longer suffering, but it is a great loss for all of us.

R.I.P. Oliver the Loud After 16 years as a wonderful companion and quirky kitty, Oliver passed on yesterday. We will miss him dearly. He was my main emotional support critter during these last few very difficult years. He’s likely loudly annoying the others in the afterlife. 😿

After Labor Day, a new episode! @Lowenaffchen returns to talk about Democratic dark-money influencers, Trump/Giuliani and their health woes, and Adam Friedland's interview with Richie Torres. Link below 👇👇👇
