One of the hardest things

We said goodbye to Shadow Dante today. Cancer took his beautiful life at the young age of 8. There had been some improvements, but in the past 3 or so days he wouldn't eat and was passing a lot of blood. His breathing was hard and  you could just tell how much he was suffering.

He went very peacefully. I opted for a private cremation and we will get his ashes in a few weeks.

Mike is devastated and Nicky is really hurting, too. I keep crying off and on. I have a feeling reminders of our beloved boy will set me off for a while.

I can't write any more about this. I've emailed a few people and I need a break.

Shadow, I believe, is now chasing and catching squirrels--and he only wants to play with them!
