Mocha has gone to the Rainbow Bridge

My "little ray of sunshine" has lost his battle with the pasturella
related illnesses he has endured since 6 months old. He was 7 years 7
months old and fought one hell of a battle with this horrible illness
over the years. He began failing about 2 weeks ago and these last few
days he began to have organ failure. I ran him to see Dr. Nichols
quite a few times and he said there was nothing more we could do and
hope with the meds I was giving, that he would turn the corner and
begin eating, pooping and peeing. I syringed the foods in but that's
where it ended. Tiny microscopic poops and no pee day after day. He
cried when I came in to get him the last 2 days for feeding. My heart
just broke as I cried the whole time. Need I spell out the rest. He
didn't have a quality of life any more and I had to make that
heartwrenching decision. Thank god, Robin my bunny sitter was told I
was on my way in, and she met me outside and we cried and held Mocha
together. She stayed with me the whole time and took it as hard as I
am. My whole life has centered around Mocha since his Christmas
episode when I thought I was going to lose him. I feel so lost even
though I still have Eugene to love. My tears won't stop and my heart
won't quit aching for him.

I held him the whole time until Dr. Nichols pronounced him. I'm
having Mocha creamated and some of his ashes will be placed into
something called a Spirit Weight which is made to remember our special
furkids. It's made by Marc S. Boutte'Glass in Washington. They are
beautiful and can be inscribed.

Hug your furkids, we have them for such a short time.
