Sad news

Sometimes the news is not good. We are very sad to report sweet Gino had a bad relapse and was suffering. There was nothing left for us to do for him, so we kept him as comfortable as we could until finally deciding to humanely put him to rest. He was a true fighter and much loved by everyone. Rest in Peace sweet Gino.

Good bye, it is time for me to leave now.
I fought my war against cancer, but I was defeated, and I am not a quitter. I had a total of 6 Chemo treatments but my victory lasted short, but perhaps would have been even shorter if you all didn’t help me to get the treatments. I enjoyed very much to have a home, having someone to care for me and some one to whom I can show and give my love. I enjoyed not having to wonder looking for food and not having to fight for it after I found it. I love having every day a bowl of fresh water. I have a place that was mine, I was no longer wet by the rain or scared by the thunders.
Thanks to each and everyone of you, life was good again.
But I had to leave. I wanted to be free.
I was having difficulty breathing, I got exhausted quickly. It happened suddenly. I played, went for a walk early in the morning with my new Mom and when we returned I could not stay up. 
I had to lay down and gasp for air. 
I had all of you worried and trying to help me having the Doc that day to take me with him. 
A new round of chemo was planned for me, but in the meantime my breathing was getting worst. I was more time laying down than up. I could not run out in the yard, I could not enjoy my daily walk, and I wanted to run free.
I want you to know that I was very happy to have a home, a family and to know what it is to be loved.
I had a warm place to sleep at night, 
a cool place to hide from the sun, 
I had food and water for my body, but most importantly for my soul I had your love.
Gino
