That is so awesome. It seems that there is so little that any one person can do to ease the crush of human suffering and despair down there that when something "small" like rescuing a beloved pet can be done it is worth every effort.

I hope I'm never in the position to leave a pet. I don't think I could do it, and if I was forced it would haunt me for the rest of my life.

I've been sitting here for a few minutes, just watching your icon over and over, with my hand over my mouth to keep myself from squeaking with laughter in the office.

The treatment of Denethor is one of the things I can't forgive the movies for. I'm definitely one of the '?!'s in your picture.

HAHA! I love this icon to no end. I'm so glad you enjoyed it too :P
Wait, how did he die in the book? It's been a while.

He set himself alight on the pyre he'd had his men built for him and Faramir, and lay back in the flames, holding the Palantir on his chest.

paraphrase: ". . .And ever after, whoever looked into that Palantir, unless he had great strength of will, saw only two aged hands withering in the flame."

Ahhhhh so he just burned himself on the pyre. That's right. Hmmm...I wonder what possessed them to make him jump off the cliff?

Peg, you're a great deal kinder than I am - I was just going to say sourly, "With dignity" and leave it at that.

But I didn't just mean his death, though Flaming Denethor certainly made me apoplectic. I just think Denethor's one of the best-drawn characters of the whole trilogy - which is praise for Denethor, not criticism of the rest - and I felt like the movie-makers trashed him from start to finish.

I can wax eloquent on the (perceived-by-me) iniquities of the LOTR movies - which is not just because they were different from the books, since I'm perfectly capable of enjoying movies that are different from theit books, it's because they were different in ways that really bothered me - but I won't, I think, because if I recall correctly Peg likes them, and I think it would be rude. Also, I can't see what good it would do. Suffice it to say that Denethor's death in the movies displeased me greatly, and so your icon pleases me proportionately well.

I'm so happy for him! And for Miss Kitty. Out of all this sadness, it's nice to see a happy story, for once.

Thanks for the uplifting story.
