Nanki-Poo is gone. I still can't believe it. He came into my life on
November 10, 2004. I took him to the vet this afternoon. His sores
were healing, and I was hoping I could soon let him go outdoors. I
noticed he was breathing hard when I took him out of the carrier at
the vet's. So did the vet's assistant. He was very anemic and had
fluid in his chest. She gave him oxygen, but said he'd need a
transfusion, to have the fluid aspirated, and various other things,
and it probably wouldn't save him anyway. She said his heart was
greatly enlarged, and he was in heart failure. It tore me apart, but I
made the only decision possible. The poor little guy went through so
much, but at least he was loved for the last 3 ½ years of his life. I
can't write any more now.




This is very sad news. I think many of us were "with you" as you went
through the last months with Nanki. He clearly left feeling loved and that
has to count for so much.
