it shouldn't be much of a surprise. i was going to take him in friday but my normal vet wasn't there and i didn't want to put him down without her opinion. i thought it was weird that she had never mentioned it but my mom said that she wouldn't say anything until i said something. anyway, i kept handfeeding him but it was bad. he was afraid of everything because i am pretty sure he couldn't see. he couldn't have hurt me but he was never mean, ever, before this last week. anyway he was dead sunday morning so the poor guy had to spend the day in the fridge. i want an autopsy. i want to know what he had. four months ago he was trying to do it with everything that moved. he was only 3 and a half, maybe four.

anyway, here is to stew, gracie, gertie and walter

this is my favorite picture of walter because you can see his pretty chin

Oh, Vonnie - life seems so unfair sometimes! I'm so sorry to hear about Walter. You'll let us know what the vet finds?

You're in my thoughts.

Just so sorry about all the collared kids you have lost recently and Stew the uro, too ! Don't know what to say except your doing the only thing ya can as far as necropsy to see whats been going on.

My thoughts are with ya kido, and hope you don't throw in the towel as far as the collareds go. Wait and see what the results are and take it from there. We all get a bit frustrated and feel hopelessly HELPLESS at times. Hope ya feel better soon.

How did your first few days of teaching go?
