Jill, my 8 year old jill, passed over Rainbow Bridge this morning, she went in her sleep. Jill had been diagnosed with Lymposarcoma in June and was on steriods. Jill had been on Granada TV (UK) the previous evening, on "Potty About Pets" - it was a though she had waited until the show had been screened before she passed away. Sadly missed, by her group: Tasha Yar, Spooky, Brock, Sarek, Amanda, Phoenix, Lulu, Oliver and Claude. Tasha was lying on top of Jill when I went to get the group out for their playtime, I had to return to collect both of them after putting the other 8 in the living room, and I was surprised that Tasha wasn't climbing up the wire for me to pick her up, she hadn't moved away from Jill - Jill always used to wait at the bottom, probably too much of an effort for her to climb. As soon as I picked Tasha up I knew there was something wrong. I guess I knew that the end wasn't all that far away for Jill because although she was eating and enjoyed her daily Ferretone she tended to just watch the others play. Sadly missed by her group: Tasha Yar, Spooky, Brock, Sarek, Amanda, Phoen= ix, Lulu, Oliver, Claude and her mum & dad.
