I'm sorry about Roary, Liz. That's a nice pic- I completely get why you like it. Two of my favorite pix of my cats Riley and Harriet are not very good- for Riley the film was kind of past the last date of use, and for Harriet the background was cluttered- but I really like their expressions in those two pictures.

Not my dog, it was just what looked like a big pit bull on the side of a busy road I saw today. Poor baby, RIP.

Saw a cat like this the other day
Objectively, all animals killed on the road are equally tragic, but knowing that animal could have been someone's pet, and knowing that they could have that element of grief, or worse, uncertainty, introduced into their lives due to the death makes it feel even worse.

Today is the second anniversary of the day I lost my cat Bear. I'm not religious, but there are times when I think about him that I feel his presence in the room. *sigh* I guess I just miss him.
I only had him for five years, and for the last year of his life his health wasn't that great, but it was five years he wouldn't have had otherwise. He was a stray. Had he gone to a shelter, it's quite likely he would have been euthanized. He wasn't a very nice cat to my other two cats, or to me, and other people and dogs scared him. But I think he was grateful, in a way, that I gave him a home.

Was Bear the cat that came to you via Heather? I seem to remember you two teaming up for a rescue.
Yes. She thought the cat was female and like an idiot I accepted it and called the cat Violet, until the cat got sick and I discovered she was actually a neutered male, so I renamed him Bear.
