I sent the following note to a few of my special PT friends earlier this morning. I didn't want them to have to find out here.
I can't believe I just typed those words. My little orange buddy is with my four poodles now. He grew up with two of them, Ashley and Whitney, so I hope they were right in front to welcome him.
He became acutely ill very suddenly a few days ago most likely as a result of his underlying diabetes. (Not wanting to eat and, when he did eat, throwing it back up). The decision was made to just let him go. He had lived a good life and he was 15 years old and it was time for rest. It reminded me very much of how Ashley's last days were spent (same symptoms, though a different cause).
Andy seemed a little lost without him yesterday and spent even more time in my lap than usual. Little does he know, but it helped me so much to feel him there. We are helping each other. I felt like I had taken away his best friend but I knew it had to be done. Rest in peace my Trevor sweetie. You made cat lovers out of all of us.
Looking at these pictures of you in happier times is bringing the tears again. Goodbye for now Mr. Orange Man, until we meet again. We loved you and will miss you.![]()
