Dear friends,

It has been a long time since Spike and Stormy posted here. I'm sorry
to report that they both went to The Bridge in April. Spike was
diagnosed with diabetes on March 4. Feline diabetes is usually a
manageable disease but we were never able to get him regulated and he
developed diabetic ketoacidosis twice in five weeks. He left for The
Bridge last Friday, April 29, two weeks after his 12th birthday.

Stormy just plain stopped eating on April 2. Three TED's - regular,
emergency and specialist - couldn't find out what was wrong and she left
on April 12. All I can think is that somehow she knew Spike wouldn't
make it and she went ahead to be there for him.

Spike and Stormy had a gudgud time in rpc and rpcc starting in 1997 and
made many good friends. I'm sure they're happy at the Bridge and
continuing to purr for all their frens.

Anti Margaret

Auntie Margaret, we is so sorry to hear this. Yourownselves were
our first Sekrit Santa, and we still have the picture you sent of
Spike and Stormy. We will never forget theirownselves.

[respectfully assuming the meatloaf position and beginning to purr]
