This is our feline friend, Rhubarb, whom I call “Mr. R”. He’s really a very sweet, super cuddly old Ginger Tom with beautiful green eyes. But, Mr. R is feeling quite poorly tonight. He had been losing weight, first around his hind quarters and it seems his shoulders are also thinning. He eventually got a clouded over-right eye that was beginning to spread into the left eye … and then, last night, his hind legs failed him.
This was Mr. R’s first time to venture out of the house last year, July 4, 2014. He enjoyed the sun that day … this is how David and I will remember this lovable being.
This morning, we laid him to rest. The pain is gone, Rhubarb … now you can join your brother, Alfredo. Good journey, Mr. R. We’ll always welcome you at our door. Aloha ‘oe.
