Dookesbury Fuzzbottom (Dooks) has left the kritter krew for the Rainbow Bridge. At about 6am on Christmas morning I felt Dooks climb onto the futon and lay down next to me. I cuddled him for a while and fell back to sleep. He appeared to be having trouble breathing, but did not appear in any pain. At 8am I woke up to answer the phone. Dooks was still laying alongside me, but his spirit had already been callled to the Bridge. After taking care of Dooks, I went and handled an emergency call at the complex (my 8am phone call). When I returned I started to write a story for Dooks. Just as I finished the last paragraph I could hear tapping, banging, and scratching coming from the roof of my apartment. It only lasted a minute or two. It honestly sounded like a business of ferrets was up there playing and dooking around. I'd like to think that it was Lady, Furrice, Zeus, Muttley, Rascal, Socks, and Dooks alll telling me that they love me, and the appreciate my stories.
