Just a short sad note to tell you that our little Gizmo passed away in his sleep this afternoon. He actually was doing well, was pretty spunky last night, ate well, his walking had improved. He crawled out of our bed in the middle of the night (not like him) and I found him sleeping in our dining room (with floor to ceiling windows overlooking his yard). He seemed peaceful and not in distress but had no desire to eat or go outside. I tried to coax him to eat around noon and he wanted no part of it and 1/2 hour later he was gone. We’re obviously very sad, but also grateful for the wonderful 14 years of love and joy he gave us. He’s now at Rainbow Bridge with a lot of loved freeperpets. ((((sad hugs))))

Dutchess, I am so sorry to hear about your Gizmo! Its very hard to give them up, no matter how old. I know you're thankful to have had him as long as you did, but most of us know how bad it hurts.

I’m so sorry (((dutchess))). It hurts to know that Gizmo is gone, we had a lot of fun with him on the Pet threads you used to make at The Finest.

Dutchess and MrDutchess, please accept my condolences.
Giz has been part of the FR family for a very long time.
It is so hard to lose a member of our family.

It sounds like Giz died where he wanted to be; overlooking his special place.

Hugs to you both.

Sorry to hear about Gizmo, sounds like the love was given and received by both sides. The memories are the golden gift you will always have, and in that way, Gizmo is but a thought away.
