This is a story about my beloved pet named Smokey, he was my best friend, he was diagnosed with Hyperthroydisim at the age of 13 and lived to be 18 1/2 yrs old. On May 10, 2001, I had to have my beloved pet put down as he was very sick. I knew that he was suffering and I did not want that for him. My whole world ended the day that Smokey died, and as long as I live I will never ever forget him. I love you Smokey
