Genetics to knowledge: A/- dd Rbrb (possibly carrying Self, Mink, Chocolate and Dumbo)

I'm absolutely beside myself over this... some of you will have followed his story on the health boards... he was better - he really was... and then this morning we found him gone :*(

Willie was a very very special lad. I was totally in love with him as a kitten, and he did very well at Bradford last year getting BOA. He was a really handsome buck, and I had such high hopes for getting a lovely litter from him... sadly it wasn't meant to be :*( Some of you will have met him and given him cuddles, and possibly some of you will remember what a gentle lad he was, and what a sweet nature he had.

Willie was always such a quiet, strong, affectionate, 'bucky' buck. He was the opposite of his mad brother Flashy, who is crazy, licky and bouncy - Willie had always been quiet and dependable. I just can't believe he's gone, and that I'm writing yet another obituary, so very very soon after writing one for his dad and his auntie.

It's been a very hard winter for us so far, and I suspect it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better... but I don't know how many more of my fit, lovely, healthy and young pets I can lose in the next couple of months :*(

I don't really know what to write, as I'm still in shock to be honest, but his song sums him up pretty well I think :*)

Willie The Pimp - Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart:

I'm a little pimp with my hair gassed back
Pair a khaki pants with my shoe shined black

Got a little lady . . . walk the street
Tellin' all the boys that she cain't be beat

Twenny dollah bill (I can set you straight)
Meet me onna corner boy 'n don't be late

Man in a suit with a bow-tie neck
Wanna buy a grunt with a third party check

Standin' onna porch of the Lido Hotel
Floozies in the lobby love the way I sell:
HOT MEAT
HOT RATS
HOT CATS
HOT RITZ
HOT ROOTS
HOT SOOTS

Run free my lovely lovely lad... whatever was ailing you isn't any more, and you can go and find your dad for me, and give him the biggest snuggle. And your lovely sister Pena too <3

I can't believe he's gone :*(

xx
