Goodbye to one of our own...

Unfortunately, Peachy is no longer with us. We had to put him to sleep last weekend. It was very hard, and sad, but it was the right thing to do, for him.

Bruce found him downstairs and he didn't look or feel right. We rushed him to the emergency pet hospital. He had many blood tests, was on an IV of fluids and antibiotics , needed a blood transfusion (only to buy time for further diagnosis), was very anemic and had a lot of muscle loss. Xrays and ultrasounds both showed that he had a mass in his stomach and his liver. It was just too much for his 15 year old body, so we had to let him go. It was the only humane thing to do.

He was a good cat and we miss him very much. He is now frolicking in heaven with his brother, Charlie.
