Editor's note 8/22/12: we haven't seen walter in quite some time. Our neighbor believes he has passed away. :-( Goodbye Walter, you will be missed. Editor's note 2/2/13: on our last day at our old house, after not seeing him for over a year, Walter came by to say goodbye! He walked right into our house as we were moving/cleaning and acted as if he owned the place! We were pretty happy to see him again and know that he was ok.
