My 16 year old Creamsicle "Mr. T" passed away this morning, of a sudden illness. He was a gentle and handsome guy. He leaves many boys and girls behind.

I will miss him.

Sincerely,

John DeMelas

Sorry to hear about your loss.

that sucks! i just lost my hondo "doris" so i feel your loss---------------------------------------good luck on any new ones--------------------------------------- "cliff" "doris(R.I.P)" "corny"

Thank you all - it means a lot to me.

He was 62 inches - a big guy.

He actually died at the vet shortly before I went to get him.
They were almost as shocked and upset as me. I know it wasn't the vet's bad - he has one of T's daughters there at the shop!

The scary thing about it was it all happened so fast. He seemed healthy and in good shape when I had him out for the photo posted above, and that was just last month.

I will be doing a necropsy tomorrow with the vet, and we expect biopsy results in a day or so. I will post the findings.

Sincerely,

John D
