In Memory

of

Snickers

This was a hard decision to put him down. He started to act strange a year ago. He quit playing and just laid around. I put him in the hospital for tests and they came back OK. I had tests down several times this past year. Then a few month back I had an ultra sound done. They did a biopsy and it came back his spleen was enlarged. Liver & stomach wasn't right. It turned out he couldn't take the copper in the food & water. It got worse. I tried to give him meds & cut out the copper but it was too late. It goes to the brain.

He started walking in circles and running into the walls & bumping his head. It was so sad. He really didn't know me or where he was and this was no quality of life for him. He lost control of his bowels and I took him back in the hospital as he started to throw up. The vet said it would be a kindness to him to end it for him.

It was so hard to make that decision. My little boy just to be so happy - loved to play - especially with Cody and now he didn't even know Cody. Cody tried so hard to play & he just stood there.

I felt he was better off to end this horror. I held him and he went peacefully as if to say Thank you.

It's taken me a while to do this as it was so hard to do. I miss him and his brother too. But now they will never be separated again. They can romp & play in Heaven together forever.

Only a whisper away.

I haven't gone and left you,
I'm here, but you can't see
How close I am beside you,
Yes Mum, it's really me.

Thank you for your kindness,
You've freed me from all pain,
I know you're sad, but don't be,
Soon we'll meet again.

Death is really not the end,
It's just a passing on
Into a world of brightness,
Where fear and pain is gone.

I'm free to run around and play
Just like I used to do.
Until we meet again Mum,
I'll wait here just for you

These two were bonded so I refused to seperate them.

I rescued them together the day they were to be gassed.

They slept together & washed each other. When one when out so did the other.

Yet their personalities were different. Snickers played with toys & Cody. Snookums didn't play at all just wanted to be petted and loved. A couch potato.

I had several apps on them but no one wanted both so they stayed here.

Now they will be together forever.

They were finally adopted together. by God.

"If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength! Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering towards slaughter." ~
