Thank you for your heart felt messages. It is shocking to believe Skippy is gone. I did not expect this and it truly is devastating. I have lost pets before but Skippy was special, maybe because we had a bond knowing that I was there to help him through his diabetes. He never flinched when I pocked especially in the beginning trying sometimes 5-6 times a day. He knew when to get tested sat on my lap and would wait. He knew I had to get the syringes ready before feeding him and he waited patiently. He brought millions of smiles and happy feeling over the 13 years he was with me. I do have to confess I had a premonition 2 weeks ago when I got laid off that he was going to die can't tell you why but he showed no signs of his illness. I do not know exactly why he passed but I do know he took his last breath lying on my chest. I can not believe this but in time I will be better. I still feel him around me crazy but my heart flutters when this happens...
I want to thank this Board that was the saving grace of Skippy in 2009. Thank you all for jumping in and assisting, guiding and helping me when I was scared. Skippy was an old timer. And if he could speak he would thank you also.
Thank you Birten
