22 December 2017 at 1536 - I thought she might get better, or at least stabilize, but she stopped eating and kept getting so thin. We finally, and so reluctantly, decided that she must have felt like she'd had enough. We made the appointment. The staff was WONDERFUL, and made us all as comfortable as we could be at such a time. The Tech who put the catheter into Twigs leg had dealt with us a lot the past couple of months. She was very slow and gentle, then kissed her on top of the head before getting up to leave. I'll remember that for the rest of my life.

29 June 2018 - Your sister, Angel, joined you today. You two play nice until I see you again someday. So many people loved you both so much.

22 December 2018 - I can't believe it's been a year already. But then again, it seems like you've been gone for so long and I miss you so much. I think about you every day Little Buddy.

05 November 2021 - The "Three Amigos" are playing together again. Our sweet Abbie, the youngest, finally had to be taken to the Vet for the last time today. We confirmed that we were doing the right thing at least. A sonogram showed a tumor on her spleen. All three of us were there with her, Leighann and I on the floor. You three have fun, and don't get into too much mischief until we come find you at the bridge one day. We love all three of you.

22 December 2022 - I can't believe it's been FIVE years since you left us Twigs. It seems so long ago, yet I still think of you all the time. Must be because you're still nearby as all good boys and girls tend to do. You now have 2 new sisters that you've never met. They're both wonderful in their way... but no comparison to you. I suppose I'll end up to be just like "Mr. Bojangles" in the song - "After 20 years he still grieves." Just wanted you to know how much I still miss you today. You'll always be my best little buddy.
