The Life and Times of Lexi...: Rest In Peace Rum Tum Tugger

Today was a very hard day for me. I had to make the decision to put my baby, Rum Tum Tugger, to sleep. It was his time to go and he ready. Tugger was two and a half years old. He contracted a disease called FIP which is incurable and once the virus hits, they only have a few weeks possibly months to live. The last few months spent with Tug were vital but also very hard on him and me. He wasn't the same and was most likely in pain for the last few weeks of his short life. I needed to prepare myself for his loss more than he needed to prepare. I helped him pass on today just before 1pm and he immediately was pain free and happy.

I will sure miss him.
