I am so sorry, Slick. I am crying as I post, as I'm sure many of you are. When I first read about Speckles not being well due to kidney failure, I could relate all too well because of my RB Rascal with the same situation. It was too hard for me to read the subsequent posts so I purposely unsubscribed from this thread. But I had been thinking of Speckles and you a lot, knowing just how you must be feeling. And it's now 9:15 p.m. and I had this feeling that I needed to check this thread. And I'm finding out she just began her journey to the Rainbow Bridge. I am so sorry for your loss and know the days ahead will be sad and painful. RIP Speckles, may you know eternal peace.
