[Gpdd] Rainbow Bridge: Checkers

[warmbreath at comcast.net]

Dear  Debra and Hal.  I am so sorry your Checkers has left for the Bridge so 
unexpectedly. He may have gotten a pneumonia like my Manny a little over a 
year ago. You know they try very hard to hide these things so dont blame 
yourselves.

I think the disinfection of his cage is a very smart move to keep what ever 
bug at bay.  That should work hopefully, feed some extra Vit C foods too. 
Dont blame yourself for looking after your husband, that had to done, 
illness always comes along at a bad time.  He had a good life with you and 
the other Story Pigs, and that's what counts. I'm sure my Manny will be 
there to great him at the bridge with a big bouquet of hay and clover, and 
then they will gather there with there  with all of their other friends and 
go for a good run, and he wont have any trouble breathing or keeping up.  I 
know its so sad to start losing a generation of piggies, and we have had all 
too much lately, we must march on, remember them well and know they run free 
at the Bridge. All so much easier said than done. Beloved  Peaches, Fugly 
and Dunya are there. So is Isis, Snickers, Badger, Melody, and Yettie. 
Grace, Sugar, and Macie are all newbies at the bridge, too many there, not 
enough here. My deepest condolences.
Sandy and Shipwreck Sam
