Colonel Puff Puff is really ill. He seems to be in kidney failure. Beat cancer but this might take him out. I can't imagine losing him a month after losing my dad. We have an appointment w/the internist at 11 am PST today and I'm asking for all prayers, spells & good juju. x

Had to let the love of my life, Colonel Puff Puff, go today. He beat cancer but kidney disease finally took him down. My heart is beyond shattered but I couldn’t let him suffer anymore. He walked me through the hardest 6 years of my life. Love & miss you Colonel. #rip #petloss
