We let him go. He went downhill pretty quickly within a few weeks, and was filling up with fluid. It was hard. He would have been 18 in a couple weeks. It's never easy losing them, just thought I'd let you all know of our loss.

And reading posts, I want to say I'm so very sorry to hear of your diagnosis Ruth. That's so scary. I will pray you kick this very easily. Keep us updated.

Barbara, I'm hoping things are ok there now with Mira, and the kitties are getting along again. I hate taking them in for anything, including dental.

Pat, same with Sara, hope she's doing well and all recovered, and glad to hear you're doing better.

Bengalgirl, happy your electric is back on.

Good wishes to everyone else.

Leonardo was very special to us and he will be missed. Our kids (adults) considered him their favorite, and he even was in the wedding video of our oldest son. We called him Leonard or Lee, but his full name was Leonardo Moto McIronclaw. A special name, for a special guy. Fly high Lee.
