On December 18th of last year I shared this message...
[line]As many of you may know, Rosie (Maherwoman) was going to get a trio from me - they were born last February. They were Dusty, Drew & Bun Bun and they were from the same litter. In October, Drew passed away suddenly and then earlier this week Bun Bun also passed away suddenly. We are beginning to suspect that there may be genetic issues causing this.
Because of this, Rosie decided (and I agreed) that it was best to not ship Dusty to California but to keep him here....at least for a while - but most likely permamently. We are concerned that he may have hidden health issues and the stress of a flight could put his life at risk.
I decided today to take some pictures of him while he was out playing on the couch. It does show how messy the couch and recliner and living room is right now - so I'm hesitant to post it - but I really do want to show pictures of Dusty...so here goes.

Subject: Dusty - forgot to update you
Dusty is just a little twerp - he's such a flirt. He's doing really good - he's stayed really small. He always keeps some of his food in his bowl so that when I go to feed everyone he's eating his food and looking at me like, "Wow...I get more? Can I get a pet with that too?" Then he ducks back into the corner while waiting for the pet...maybe he's asking for a doe for a pet..I don't know.
He likes to watch tv with me on the couch and he loves to give me kisses on the nose and dig at my bra area....

At 11:25 or 11:30 pm - Robin brought Dusty in to me as I was at my computer...and she told me he was in distress.
At 1:25 am this morning - he passed away in Robin's arms as I was petting him. Either Rosie or I will do his Rainbow Bridge thread later....when we can pull ourselves together to post it.
This post is dedicated to Dusty....and in the next couple of days I hope to pull myself together enough to post more about him. He loved to watch tv with me and one of the last times we watched tv he spent most of his time chinning my nose and trying to french kiss me (I made him stop that). He loved to give me kisses on the nose too.
Words are inadequate right now - and if you want to say something about him - maybe just wait till his thread is up in Rainbow Bridge?
But I just had to share here....now....as if somehow - looking at his photos one more time and making sure they were in THIS thread...would help.
