Goodbye Luke
July 1, 2006
We finally put old man Luke down a couple of days ago. After a long struggle with diabetes and dementia, Luke’s quality of life had gone downhill. We put in a lot of work this last year to keep Luke comfortable and happy. Luke was 15 years old and had been the link between all of our pets. 
Auntie Sarah gave Luke to Kate when she was just 3 years old. At first Luke was Lucy because we thought he was a she. Luke turned out to be all boy. Biting the girls in the face as they slept, bringing both dead and half dead gophers, mice, birds and snakes. In his older years he stopped with the trophies and settled into old age, becoming a grumpy old man. In the end we thought it was better that he go and join Kira and Jasmine at the Rainbow Bridge. We will miss you old man Luke!
