To all: especially Traci,
We had to let Dwight go today. I don't know why I neglected this whole time to mention his name. But his name is Dwight. The last few days his whole condition deteriorated to the point where we just had to let him go. He wasn't eating (although trying and gagging uncontrollably) and for some reason he was walking around the house crying and recently started peeing all over the house. It just came down to a quality of life issue. He was very clearly, suffering tremendously. We took him to the vet this afternoon and said goodbye. Myself and family and his brothers, Magic, Monty and blood-brother Bear all know that he is in a better place now. Knowing he's not suffering anymore takes a bit of the edge off the pain. He was such a special boy and will miss him sooo much! Thanks once again to all you well-wishers out there. A special thanks to Traci for all your kind words, support and ideas. You made this last month a lot easier. OK, Everybody should go and give all their kitties a big hug right now!

I'm so very sorry, I was truly hoping for a successful outcome. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that you went far and beyond for Dwight, I'm sure he knew you were doing everything you possibly could. Thank you for going the extra mile and sharing so much of him with us.

My heart aches for you...safe and gentle journey, sweet Dwight.....(((HUGS)))
..........Traci
