We lost Gator early this morning. Other than being a little peuny last night, we didn't have any reason to think that he was very sick. We woke this morning to him gasping for breaths in our bedroom. As I was trying to put my pants on to take him to the emergency vet, Emily was holding him. In a moment of doctor's skill or motherly wisdom, she stopped me and called me over. We held him as he left this place to travel the rainbow bridge. We know he's with Tom in a better place.
We laid his body to rest in a coffin we built and decorated. He is buried under a dogwood tree in the backyard he spent so many hours enjoying.
There are loads of pictures of him on this blog, but this one is from just a couple weeks ago.
