<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>Sunday Morning,
our beautiful boy G (steel blue gaze) Slipped out of this world to be with
his Ren, who no doubt has been waiting on the other side of the bridge for
her beloved friend. He had been suffering from a severe case of (CIT and
IMHA) blood platelet loss with signs that he was bleeding into his joints and
his abdomen. We had been spending days trying to save him by pushing steroid
pills and antibiotics round the clock, but by Sunday he was showing signs of
hemorrhage and we realized that his suffering was greater than our selfish
need to hold him to this world. At then end I cradled him in my arms as he
slipped away, telling him how very much he was loved.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>I want to take
the time to thank all of GPAindy and all those involved for introducing
us to this wonderful boy, whose love and affection knew no bounds. The first
sight of this massive grey carting his stuffy from room to room as a security
blanket touched us deeply. For the rest of his life, he would cart that
ragged little stuffy with him wherever he went, resisting the brighter newer
toys in favor of his ba-ba. Although not the fastest or the bravest of our
greys, he was the gentlest soul, preferring to lay his head on the nearest
lap, uttering a contented sigh. He was our rock and our steady companion, and
he will be missed more than words can say. Our little jester Emma is
wandering lost, a "mutt" without her "Jeff" and will no
doubt feel the loss as keenly as us. <o:p></o:p></p>
