Thunder --- June 16, 2002 - July 17, 2012




Thunder - Summer of 2012

My boy, my buddy, my companion, my sweet sweet doggy, went to heaven yesterday.  Thunder was diagnosed with bladder cancer over a year and half ago, was given less than six months, but managed to hang on this long.  He did not suffer one bit throughout this time, he just piddled accidently - constantly - when he was left alone, but even that cleared up.  He wagged his tail, ate two good meals a day, and loved his 'walkies!'.  He stopped eating on Saturday, and with two weigh-ins in the past month, lost 17 pounds.  He will be forever missed, and joins his sister Jewels in heaven.  I told him just before he passed not to bite anyone.  Goodbye Buddy, I will miss you so much...

There is a group of cats that I've been feeding the past few days on Central.  I counted six this morning. One has full milk ducts, another looks visibly pregnant.  I need help here.  None of these cats are fixed. 


 
Sir Winston, aka Winnie, aka Buddy!
Remember this guy?  I rescued 'Buddy' from the Grand Avenue two years ago this fall.  He was just a kitten at the time, and boy did he turn out to be one lucky kitty!  I adopted him out to a very nice couple who totally adore him and spoil him, and his half-sister Magic, to no end.  They renamed him Sir Winston!  Here is his latest picture.  What a cutie!!!!

  4. My heart is aching for you. He was a sweet dog and sure put up with a lot in a house full of kitties. I didn't know he had a sister; I'm sure she was at heaven's gate to welcome him!
