Mojo has Crossed the Bridge

We had to help Mojo cross the bridge this morning. He went downhill really fast. Yesterday morning he only ate a third of his usual morning soup. By the evening, he wouldn't eat at all, and I was having to help him into the litterbox and clean him up afterwards. He cried when he tried to move, and I think the mass might have been pressing on internal organs.

He spent the evening lying in my arms while I told him all about the Rainbow Bridge, and how happy and healthy and pain free he would be there. I was almost hoping he would pass in the night in his hammock, surrounded by his friends. But he was always such a fighter, and when I woke up he was still with us. He was in even worse shape, and so I took him to the vet.

It was very fast. He drifted off in about 2 seconds, and it was very peaceful. He just sighed a final time and was gone. I took a lock of his hair, and we're going to have him cremated privately so we can get his ashes back.

Mojo, I miss you so much, and your friends do too. We'll never forget you. You were so strong and brave. Dance on, chunkybutt. You are so loved.
