We received an email from Mama Beth that we have copied in part below:
Bilbo has taken a turn for the worse. His he is drinking full bowls of water and having problems holding his bladder. We talked to the vet yesterday and she confirmed our thoughts that his kidneys are failing. (He has had kidney problems for the past year or so). Unless he tells us before, we have an appointment with his vet to help him cross the Bridge on Wednesday evening at 6pm PST.
We wanted a doctor we knew to help and we are glad we have a couple of days to spoil him with pumpkin crunchies and as many snuggles as he will let us give him.
Mama Beth requests some POTP for Bilbo, Ed and I(and the Boyz) on the POTP.
Going from a pack of four to a pack of two in a couple of months is going to be rough.

Dearest Sweet Bilbo
ReplyDeleteWe are so very very sorry Dear friend but one thing for sure we understand.
We pets know when it is time.....your precious Dory left early to prepare a nice sunny spot for you OTRB and the best news is NO rain so lots of out of doors time and I hear the pumpkin crunchies are EVERYWHERE.
So Bilbo I say a bittersweet until we meet again. I will miss your sweet face but am so very happy that you and Dory will be together again for eternity.
Your life was long full of the best love from the most wonderful peeps and siblings....and you lived it well.....
Hugs and kitty kisses madi one of your very oldest BFFFS and her Mom
