[Gpdd] [ANNOUNCE] Popcorn's passing

[Deborah Tanovich]

Dear Friends of the GPDD

It is with a broken heart that I must tell you that at 12:50 AM EDT my beloved little boy, Popcorn, passed over to the Rainbow Bridge.  He had been diagnosed with what is basically leukemia about 2 weeks ago, and the vet told me that as soon as he stopped eating it would be time.  I knew that the time was near because Popcorn did not eat his night snack of Broccoli slaw and he didn't give me a fight when I went to pick him up.  We sat together with him nestled in my arms as he loved to do.  A few shudders and he was gone.  
Popcorn was 6 1/2 years old, not as old as some of our little ones who have gone on, but he was a senior piggie.  He loved to cuddle and we had many a midnight chat, especially during these last few months with my mother's increasing dementia and my daughter's battle with substance abuse.  His was always a wise counsel.  My vet thought he looked like Winston Churchill.

My heart is broken and the tears keep coming.  I miss you my boy, I hope Fluffy is there to greet you at the Rainbow Bridge and that all the other piggies welcome you with open paws and fresh hay.  Sleep peacefully my sweet
