Subject: [Felvtalk] The Brock Star has left the building

Brock left this earthly plane this afternoon.  This morning he didn't get
out of the lounge chair to greet me, refused his heart pills again, and his
third eyelids were showing.  He did eat all the food I brought him though -
he licked off the spoon as I held it up in front of him on the lounge chair.
We did half, then the other half later.  I visited with him a lot.  He spent
most of his time in his lounge chair on his fleece blanket, but once he got
down and took a short stroll through his domain.  Usually I am in the lounge
chair, with Brock on my lap.  Such a tired boy; his bone marrow was no
longer working as it should - low RBC, WBC, and platelets, and not making
new.  He had Feline Leukemia Virus, survived a year with Restrictive
Cardiomyopathy & CHF, and just recently developed lymphoma.  So not fair to
such a sweet and handsome boy.

He received a sedative first and we spent a half hour or 45 minutes
together.  His paw rested on my hand.  As he relaxed, he ever so lightly
made biscuits on my hand.  He even did his elevator butt routine, but laying
down instead of standing up.

He was only with me a year and a half, but he had so much love to give out
during that time, that there is now another permanent scar on my heart.
Along with too many others that are still somewhat fresh.

Dearest Brock, visit me soon in my dreams.  I left the patio lights on for
your spirit to find the way back to Fort Shappell.

Marsha
