That's so sad. My two made it to 17 and 18 years.

This #Caturday should be a day of national mourning.

and there are a whole host of health problems associated with it. She may have had a short life, but she lived large.

Tardar was born with dwarfism, and probably had health issues all her life. You can tell if you've even seen video of her. I am surprised she made it to 7.

Make the land beyond the rainbow bridge grumpy, Tardar!

Grumpy except with a smile died 5 years ago at age 14. My Charley died one year ago this week at age 18. Gandy died 2 years ago at age 19.

Seven seems very young. And my Charley had a very bad UTI when he was 5 yrs old and lived 13 years beyond that.

Grumpy must have had other problems.

So much better than us. Animals are inherently innocent. Only humans are capable of sin.
