Dylan Boy

Friend, Teacher, Guide
RIP - 4/25/2006

It is with great sadness and even greater reluctance that I put Dylan, my wonderful cat to sleep at 10:06 am, Tuesday, April 25, 2006.

This was the toughest decision I've ever had to make, as Dylan was still alert and responsive. Unfortunately, he had lost almost all his appetite, was no longer purring and whenever he sat down he had his back to me. He had suffered from diabetes & pancreatitis for over a year. He was now in kidney failure. His last meal was about 10 fingers full of Vaseline and 2 ear plugs - go figure! Not my choice - his!!

He was born on July 4th, 1996. He died tonight, April 25, 2006, just a few months shy of his 10th birthday. He is survived by his step-sister Adrienne and me, his dad.

Dylan meant the world to me and he was like a son. I will miss him very much.

I'm so grateful for my vet Rachel for coming to my home to assist with Dylan's departure and my girlfriend Faune for being by my side as Dylan was put to sleep.
