Met Gav's parents for dinner...for some reason, they wanted to have dinner near my mom's place and thus, we ended up meeting at the condo where it all happened. I am not entirely convinced that they wanted to eat dinner there...I am thinking that they may want everyone to be comfortable at the condo and thus, suggested to have dinner there. I don't know..but doesn't really matter.
I noticed that my mom and Gav parents have this thing about looking at the spot where Shasta landed. From the lift lobby on the 8th floor, one can look out and see the balcony and imagine the motion of Shasta falling from the balcony to the landing ground on the 2nd floor. It is like they are trying to investigate to know how it all happened.
The day after I was told of Shasta's death, I did go to the 2nd floor landing...I noticed a flower pot on its side and wondered if Shasta hit it when he fell. the ground was dirty with garbage..not a pretty sight...and I wondered how long he was there for till my brother found him.
Gav's dad was telling me that when it happened, my eldest brother called him. When he came over, my brother suggested that they (my brother and Gav's dad) try to get Shasta's body out of the area through the opening in the grill. Gav's dad said that's not possible...Shasta is over 100lbs. My brother even suggested to bring Shasta's body back to our apartment in Dover since our AC is on 24/7 to wait for us to return.
I laughed. I thought it was funny that my brother actually thought that the AC could preserve Shasta's body for so long. Gav's dad told him that the body will decompose quickly. My eldest brother was clearly shocked at the incident. Thankfully, my second brother has a calmer side, called the pet hospital and got help to carry Shasta out of the area and to hold his body in the cold room at the hospital.
