Jelly (10/94) was 8.5 years old, but her body just gave out on her. She had
many minor problems that grew to be one big problem that she couldn't fight any longer. When her quality
of life decreased, we had to make the decision to let her go in April of 2003. I hope she's healthy and
happy reunited with her former cage mate, Peanut Butter. We miss you!

Wheezie made it to her 9th birthday, but her heart was failing and causing
her to have fainting episodes that resulted in seizures. So we made the painful decision to help Wheezie
to the Rainbow Bridge in March of 2003. We miss you, sweetie. I hope we made your last 2.5 years good ones.
Her cagemate, Lucious, was helped over the Rainbow Bridge on September 9, 2003. She was over 9 years old
and her body just gave out due to all her recurring health problems (adrenal, insulinoma, etc.). Lucious
was loved greatly for the 3 years she was in our shelter, we miss you, sweetie!

Nicodemus (12/97) was a beautiful sable hob. I had known Nic since he was 6 months old, when his owners adopted
Lucy in June of 1998 and Oscar in January of 1999 from our shelter. I had boarded them on numerous occasions, so was
very attached to not only my former rescues, but to Nic himself. Oscar passed away in 2000. Then in early 2002, Nic and
Lucy's mom and dad were moving due to a new job and couldn't take them with them, so they were surrendered back to the
shelter and fostered with Peggy. Nic developed insulinoma and had surgery in August. Nic developed severe diabetes
immediately after surgery and passed away a few days later. While this is not a common result of insulinoma surgery,
many times the insulin level will adjust itself shortly after surgery, it can happen and we lost our little buddy.
Lucy remains in foster care with Peggy and her new friends, Cosina and Lilah.

Gracie had to be helped to the bridge due to kidney failure and advanced insulinoma complications in

as well as her buddies and me.

Stripe was helped to the bridge on Dec 17, 2002. She crashed suddenly due
to complications of kidney disease and a huge mass in her abdomen. She spent more than half her life
at the shelter, outlived 5 cage mates and other than an accidental ruptured spleen, had no health problems
while at the shelter. She missed her 7th birthday by two weeks, but she's better off where she is now.
We miss you, Stripe!
