<DIV><FONT size=3>Dinny made his journey to the bridge today. He acted like he
was feeling a little better yesterday, after Thursday's vet visit. He was able
to get up and walk a little further and he enjoyed many belly rubs and hugs.
This morning, however he had a turn for the worse again. He lost complete
control of his bladder and could not hold anything he ate down. He could no
longer walk across the floor with out becoming out of breath and would lay down
and pant as though he had just run 5 miles. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>I called another vet in our area and was able to get him in
today. I took copies of blood work and medical records with me. The vet was very
nice and after looking over his records and doing an exam of Dinny, he told me
that there was nothing more anyone could do for Dinny. </FONT></DIV>

to the bridge. </FONT> <FONT size=3>My heart is breaking, but I know my
gentle man is no longer suffering. </FONT></DIV>
