Re: Eddie Bear, RIP
Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our lovely Eddie Bear. He had coped amazingly well with a number of ailments but this last battle, against old age, was the one he could not win.
He had become increasingly fragile over the past few months, with his legs weakening and collapsing under him. We had a bad night on Sunday with him clearly uncomfortable, although he would settle down when I cuddled him; in the morning he collapsed several times as his legs just kept giving way. He had been struggling with yeast overgrowth affecting his skin and hair and had grown many cyst lumps, one of which had got very big and just become infected, and he then stopped eating too. He and we knew it was time to say goodbye.
He went very peacefully and with our arms around him and my tears falling onto him. We are very sad and miss him terribly but we are grateful for the thirteen years of joy and happiness he gave us.
