That's very very nice of you, msbelle.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Allyson, I'm so very sorry. If it helps with perspective, I've done the same thing four times, taken in a stray. Twice it's ended in unexpected tragedy, twice it's ended in a long, loving relationship.
In Oliver's case, everyone else is so right. He was warm, he was fed, he was safe from sudden fearful pain and death, and he was even loved enough to be named. He didn't starve, cold and alone, and he wasn't in pain. You did your very very best for him, and it's nobody's fault it just wasn't to be this time. Don't let it steel you against future need, though. Oliver wouldn't want that.
Peace and comfort to you.

Bad news: Safari finally got around to killing the account I had as a former employee of a partner of theirs.
Good news: One of my former co-workers is willing to comp me 2 of the books I need.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So sorry, Allyson, but I'll agree with the rest - he was lucky to have you as a person.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Allyson you totally did the right thing for him. If there more to be done you would have done, but you did everything that could be done.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You know, Allyson, if I were the God of Cats and I looked down and saw Oliver and knew he was dying on a cold winter night in Los Angeles, you're the person I'd send him to so that his last days were warm and loved and tended to.
