[Gpdd] MISC: Jimmy's Story

[Birdie Horn]

First I would like to thank all those
  whom have emailed me on my loss 
  of Jimmy Jr. I know that this group
  is a loving family and always there
  to be counted on.
  Jimmy Jr. for those whom don't remember
  was given to me from my last boss when I
  quit my job. He didn't want me to forget
  him so he gave me Jimmy Jr. and said
  I couldn't change his name cause he 
  was named after him. 
  Jimmy Jr. was sort of a loan piggy and 
  never really bonded with me as 
  much as the other piggies. However
  when I found Blondie Jimmy bonded 
  well with her. They had four still
  born babies and when I tried to 
  get Blondie spayed she had complication 
  and bleed to much and didn't make it. 
  Jimmy was devastated and never really
  understood why Blondie could not 
  be with him anymore. He had his
  own type of appeal that was simple
  yet inviting. I always want to be closer 
  with Jimmy but that wasn't meant to be. 
  He was a proud member of LAPS, going 
  from VP to President. He started losing 
  weight and resigned his presidency. I took
  him to the vet and he said he wasn't digesting 
  his food and provided me with some meds.
  They really didn't seem to help but Jimmy 
  stayed at his weight of 2 lbs. for several months.
  Jimmy would act confusing at time acting
  like he was on his last paw but then would
  turn around and act like he was ready to 
  run circles around Spunky, 
  Steve and I discussed taking him to the 
  vet to see if the vet thought it was time 
  but Jimmy decided it was time before that. 
  I think he must have had a seizure or stroke
  and he lingered for a hour. I was with him 
  in his last hours and tried to comfort him 
  as much as I could while crying the whole 
  time. When he finally passed I sat and held
  him for proably another half hour or so just
  crying and petting him. 
  Steve was coming down the next night 
  because of New Year's Eve and when 
  Steve came I held Jimmy for Spunky to 
  see that he had pasted. Spunky sinced 
  something was wrong with Jimmy and tried 
  to nudge him to get him to awaken and 
  finally realized that Jimmy was gone. 
  Spunky morned for a few days, just as 
  Steve and I have. We loved Jimmy Jr. 
  and will miss him untill we see him at 
  the bridge again.
