Also, if you wait a little, a deluxe version of the new Morrissey b-sides album with bonus live material comes out a week from today on CD. That's all the aging '80s hipster news I have. Stay tuned, I'll let you know if Robert Smith's hair falls or something. Cheers, - --Mark, trying to keep his chin up and not blubber profusely--I have to put my dog to sleep in about 30 minutes . This is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done.

It was hard. Missy died in my arms. It only took seconds. She wasn't hurting anymore, and I was glad of that. She had a good life, almost ten years (she was born in December, 1999). I got her February 22, 2000, the day Attractive Nuisance came out. She was a "pound puppy" for sale at Petsmart (I remember taking the wrapper off of the CD in the parking lot of the store and scanning the disc while I waited for my mom to show up to help me choose a puppy, though she left that up to me). I knew she was the one when I picked her out, and I've never regretted my decision. She was truly a beautiful creature, inside and out, full of love and pure of heart--she loved all people. I couldn't have asked for a better dog. I've already contacted an animal shelter in LA telling them I'd like to do some volunteer work. I'll have lots of dogs (and cats) in my life really soon. - --Mark In a message dated 11/10/2009 3:59:50 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, jmmallon@joescafe.com writes: My deepest sympathies.

I held our little Monster in my arms in the same manner. One of the toughest things I have ever done. Makes me very sad to this day. But we made the right decision and so did you. It was the least we could've done for our little critter(s). - --- On Tue, 11/10/09, Markwstaples@aol.com wrote: > From: Markwstaples@aol.com > Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Echo and the Bunnymen/Moz > To: loud-fans@smoe.org > Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 5:43 PM > Thank you very much.

We make the decision together, but I can't go with him to do it. I'm always reduced to a heap of weeping rubble. Mark and Gil, you are a brave and loving souls to be able to be there and hold them for their final moments. I am sure you eased their passing.
