This has not been a happy night to browse Pet Talk. First I read that sweet little Charlie is gone, only five months after Thelma learned he was ill. Now brave Killi is very ill and the good news we were praying and hoping for will not be forthcoming.

Everyone, give your little guys extra hugs and skritchies, because they are here way too short a time. And in the meantime keep praying for Sue and Killi for healing, and Thelma for comfort.
