<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi my dear friends.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I hope you are doing well and we are sorry for all
those who went to the bridge. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's been more than a week that Xaxa does not have
any appetite. The only thing that he accepts is boiled chicken breast and only
if dadperson feeds him on his hand, little by little. It is a blessing that dad
is on holiday for a month, because he is really "nursing" Xaxa. Could he be in
pain? How do we know?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Because he almost does not eat it is hard to give
him his pills but he is getting good at it and Xaxa accepts it kind of
well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Last week the vetlady said that he had lost
1.3kilos (about 3 pounds) in from the previous week to that one. It really says
a lot considering Xaxa is our always hungry boy. She also said that his cough
now is not from the heart because that's controlled. It is from the 2
nodules(bad kind) he has on his lung.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>At almost 15 years of age, things seem to pop all
over his body. Heart, nodules, loss of appetite.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dadperson is drained, almost does not eat and
sleeps badly because of Xaxa's cough during the night. He has to check how
Xaxa is. He said that he is seeing his best friend getting weaker every day and
the pain, as most of you know, is unbearable. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>It's the first time we go through this and is
so very hard. And we don't really know if his "time" has
come.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Tomorrow I'll spend the day with them, see
how Xaxa is and give him all my love. Will tell him he does not have to stay
just to make us happy. He has made us happy and proud for so many years, we will
let him go when he wants to. Even if it breaks our heart.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>If you can continue to send healing drool and
prayers we appreciate. Dadperson needs it a lot as well. I guess he is losing
more weight than Xaxa.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>We send our drool and love to all of you.
</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Thank you all who has send us emails of
support. It really means a lot to have friends like
you.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>We will keep you posted.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Love</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Virginia, Xaxa, Violeta and
Dadperson.
