I haven't been on the forum for awhile now, but I needed to post today. I needed a place where Egon's life will be remembered, and not just by our family.
We had to let Egon go yesterday. We think he had a small stroke or seizure on Monday, it left him unsure, unsettled and stumbling sideways. We watched and hoped that he could recover, but after a couple days knew he wouldn't.
Hearing my four year old cry "I want Egon back" will haunt me forever.
Egon you were a quiet presence in our lives. Always excited to make a new friend, tamer of feral kitties, thief of un-guarded food, your magical ability that let you know when the gate was left open, fearlessness of coyotes (crazy pup), unbridled fear of woodpeckers, and the best nap taker ever.
I just want you to know that we love you and will always remember.
I haven't seen that bottom picture in so long. He was 5 years old in that photo, so young. I had forgotten how big his eye patch was, it has been whitened for so long. Oh Egon.
