Sandee, yesterday afternoon our tangle of 10 became 1 less as our little sable sprite Flower passed away on my chest post adrenal surgery. She never really awakened and passed very quietly, with just a sigh as she slipped to the Rainbow Bridge to be with all her buds gone before. She was a rescue and at first a little devil of a biter...having been raised in a cage her whole life. But lots of love and patience later she became the center of our attention (altho she would stealthily slip in for a nip every now and then...followed by a wild weasel war dance and much dooking) and was a true little dear. Last month she started showing signs of adrenal with a swollen vulva and she drastically slowed down. The surgery two days ago brought out the largest tumour our vet had yet encountered and it was on the right side so, while cryo was used...well...it just overwhelmed her. Please have Bubba, Pal, Clyde and Casio, Bodie, Blizzard and all the rest of our departed furkids meet her half way on the bridge to take her over. Thanks, Putorius and the now nefarious nine Here's to Fins in the water, Feathers in the Aire and Tails in the tall summer grass... [Posted in FML 5521]
