Thumper

Saturday, May 10, 2008 | A Sad story

Stephanie's devoted pal Thumper died during the night. He has been getting thin but still eating pretty good. I noticed recently he was having trouble with his hind legs. He had been tested for leukemia and didn't have that. He was only 8 years old. He always hung out with Stephanie and followed her around the house. He would sit in her laptop and just wheel around the house. She is going to miss him. Yesterday he was very out of it and everytime I would pick him up he would whimper a bit. I prepared Stephanie last night that we may need to have him put to sleep. She sat on the couch all evening with him, hugging and petting him and telling him she loved him. For some reason I didn't want him to sleep with her last night, so I put him somewhere else. This morning Bill found him in the hallway, stretched out but not moving. I just got back from taking him to the vet to have him cremated. We're all so sad. I told Stephanie and she cried. She has such a hard time talking anyway, so I think she is just lost in her words. Anyway, I'm just rambling, sad and rambling on......

I'm so sorry for you and Stephanie, geez, that is so hard to take.
Give her a hug for me, I've also lost a great pal who just did not live long enough with me...she is buried out in my back yard by the fence with a beautiful bush over her and an angel sits out there on a stump over looking her grave. My beautifl german shepherd Heidi. It's just so sad, blessings to all of you. Poor Stephanie, like she doesn't have it hard enough already. Geesh, I'm so sorry. Love, Mel
