Goodbye my sweet Ziglet
Through a wave of tears I regret to write that Ziglet went to the bridge last evening. He lost his battle with CRF. I went to Newfoundland 4 days ago and when i came home things had drastically changed and I returned to my sweet boy who looked terrible. It was his time. I didn't know it, and I got angry, ...I'm sorry for that. I thought he still had some months left in him.
But when I took him to the vet for testing, the tests had revealed the worst news possible. Heroic measures might extend his life by a month, but the quality of that life would be difficult for my already weak boy who stopped eating, drinking, and moving about with ease. We could not let him suffer further. To make me and my wife Carmy feel better the vet let us know that all the other vets in the office agreed with our decision. That did help a little bit. I've never had to go through this before, but the procedure was very fast and done by a supportive vet with supportive colleagues. We drenched Ziglet's fur with our tears one last time and said goodbye. This morning as a write this I'm still full of tears. My morning routine has changed, a member of my small family is gone. He's not at my leg now. He didn't meow for shower drops or treats this morning. He won't lie on my chest when I relax later this evening. I guess the best thing to do is remember the good times. Remembering how he climbed me like a tree when we first got him. How he loved it when I rubbed the top of his head with my beard. How he always used to get a kitty-woody when he sucked on his blanket. How he always seemed to think our bodies were cat-beds perfectly designed for slumbering. How he used to lead us to the mat so we would whack his sweet butt a few times (puckering) and give him a great massage. How we often did our morning business together. How often we napped together. I'll remember all this and more. Goodbye my sweet boy, hope you met your brother Zak last night and you're feasting on all the good treats at Rainbow Bridge. You shall always be loved and your memory never forgotten. Here are a few of fun pics that Ziglet let me take over the years. Thanks for listening everyone .

Oh Marko, my deep condolences on the passing of Ziglet. The pain in your heart must be pretty intense right now. Let the tears flow freely, we all understand.
Ziglet. Your puckering days on this planet may have come to an end, but your legacy lives on in the hearts of those who met you, whether in person or just "online".
