White was one of my last originals, and he leaves behind Lucy, Fisher,
Grey, and Mango. He will be joining the girls Okojyo, Zip, and Frejya,
and Kieran and Data, the boys. They all make up my original 10.
He had been through two adrenal surgeries. The last one was only a few
months ago. He grew back much of his fur, but still had a strip on his
head, and on the belly and top, that didn't have fur. He still had a
naked tail when he left us yesterday.
White was the best little boy. He never did anything to anyone,
except he did partake in the sniffing of the ladies, and that was
his specialty. Often you'd see him "inspecting" as if it was serious
business, and to him I'm sure it was! This didn't usually bother
anyone. My fiance was very very close to him, and he misses him soooo
much. It was a very tough night last night for everyone but him
especially.
He had an inoperable tumor. I don't know why I let it go so long. I
thought it wasn't a big deal at first, just an enlarged spleen and I
made an appointment after a week of saying we need to go. Why I didn't
go in sooner, I don't know. The doctor said it likely wouldn't have
mattered. But we'll never know.
White loved the girls and played with the boys, but also liked doing
his own thing. He stood out on his own, my little albino boy. When he
was younger he did have some tan on his tail but that faded away as he
grew up. He'd never hurt a fly and was loved by all.
His favorite things - he never really had favorite toys, but he loved
treats, and ferretone especially. I feel bad for not giving him more
baby food, he always tried to steal it from the girls who had to have
medicine.
I will miss you White. I'm sorry and I love you.
