I have lost one of my precious angels way too soon and I'm just now feeling well enough to talk about it. Xaiver somehow got out of the house Tuesday morning. We are still not sure how he did it or even why he went out, but he did. He wandered up the hill to my mother's house and was attacked by one of her dogs. When we found him, the dog was carring him around in her mouth. It looks as though the dog had bit him in the stomach and he bled internally. I can only pray that he died quickly but I know he must have been so scared!

I have cried non stop the past three days since because I feel so guilty and I miss him so very much. I had considered giving all my animals away, but my husband helped me to understand that all the animals love me and need me and if I did give them all away, they would be sad and so would I. And of course, he's right as always and he made me feel a little better.

So I'm writing this to say bye to Xaiver. He was a special fuzz ball of energy that I'll miss until the day I die and I can only hope that he'll wait for me so we can cross the rainbow bridge together. Say hi to Gambit for me little buddy
