I am so sorry to hear about Stitch! My apologies if I'm butting in late in the conversation...unfortunately, I haven't been able to respond to many posts... :( But I just wanted to let you know that you guys are in my thoughts...not being able to breath is a scary way to go (I've witnessed one of my guys go, naturally, essentially as the result of suffocation due to anemia and I've opted to assist others because I just couldn't bear watching them get to that point). Bless your heart for caring so deeply for Stitch...please know that I will be thinking of you guys and sending out positive vibes for a peaceful passing, until you guys meet again...
