Dear Julie
I'm in tears for you, Julie, for you and Tater Tot---I'm so
sad to hear about the little sweetheart--so very sad. You and he have been
through so much recently and have both worked so hard together to overcome his
illnesses. He was such a fun little fellow too, which surely makes losing
him even harder. What can I say to ease your pain, except that he knew what it
was to be fiercely and dearly loved and cared for right to the end: you gave him
the most precious gift of all, and he knew it.
Thinking of you and your husband, and sweet little Tater
Tot
much love and big hugs
Kerry

Dear Friends,
My sweet little man is gone. Sunday evening he started having
seizures; we rushed him to the ER and chose to end his suffering. He'd
been hanging in there; Saturday night he got up and checked out the fresh
catnip on the scratching pad and Sunday morning he was the first one at the
food dish, although he didn't eat much. He started to go downhill rather
quickly on Sunday afternoon and I was preparing to call the ER when the
seizures started.
I hope he knew we were with him; I think he did. He was only 6
years of age and he was such a silly little busybody. He had to grab my
apron strings every morning when I was getting ready to feed and he loved to
eat from the top level of the condo so he could lean down and grab the tail of
whoever was below.
Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers for him; you're the most
special group of people I've ever known.
Love, Julie
