Thank you everyone for your heartfelt words. My Utty was actually 5 1/2. I was so upset I just could not think straight on Friday. I did finally find what I felt was perfect for my memorial page of him.
It is at: http://www.stitchitcheap.com/GoodbyUtty.htm
I even had to redo the dates on the page after I posted it because I had the date of death as the 27th and not the 24th.
We thought he had injured his back on 14th. By the 18th I knew it was much more than that. He spent two nights at the Vet hospital before leaving us Friday morning . The vet now believes what we thought was an injury was actually a small tumor. The house is just too quiet now .
Thanks again,
Eliza
