Nash left us on October 8, 2012. He was with us through for 14 years, through several close calls, which could have taken him sooner, but each time he pulled through because he wanted to stay with the ones who loved him. He finally used his nine lives on October 8 and met with his mate Silver who passed away on September 11. We love and miss them terribly. We found out he had cancer somewhere in his intestine and Silver was diagnosed with cancer in her esophagus. Mercifully they did not suffer long and went to heaven to play and run free! - Debra
