Monty
July 1998 - July 25, 2000

Sadly, the great Monty passed away this morning. Having turned two years old this month, he suffered another stroke last week.  He was still getting around, a lot slower, but moving nonetheless, and enjoying his daily corn and treats. The last 24 hours the little guy was having trouble getting around and eating.  I held him and tried to feed him some corn and cheese. He would nibble a little, but it was obvious he was nearly gone. I would put water on my fingers and let him lick it off, but he was having trouble doing that too.   By last night it was apparent he was barely hanging on.  He was incoherent and wouldn’t even scratch with his back leg when I rubbed him behind the ears like he used to do.  This morning he passed away.  He will surely be missed.
