I went into the shelter yesterday to see and work with my three babies. When I looked in the cage, there were only 2. At first I thought Deke had been put in the isolation unit. I found out that he died Thursday night . I am SO upset about this. This poor little baby died ALONE in the middle of the night with no one there to cuddle him and tell him it was okay to go to the Rainbow Bridge. I am devastated. If I had noticed that there was anything wrong or that he was suffering, I would've asked that he be pts so he'd have no pain.

This past week at the shelter has been the absolute PITS!!! They also had an 8 month old orange tiger named Matt that bit someone who came into the shelter. While there yesterday, I put my hand in the cage to pet him. He gave me love bites, but nothing that drew blood. I begged them to let me try and work with him and they said no, that he was to be euthanized last night.

If this keeps up, I'm going to take a break.
