i really was hoping hershey would make it but, he got septic and had abscesses all over him apparently, and yesterday, on the one month anniversary since i'd been bottle feeding him and his two sisters, we had to put him down.
i'm really going to miss this little guy. it feels like i should still be bathing him after every feeding, making sure he doesn't have milk crusted up under his chin, turning him over to be rinsed while he wiggles. he fell asleep on my arm once, just thrown over it. the night before we took him he sat on my chest, purring and kneading, as i scratched under his chin and wiped at his face with a wash cloth. he was well for a while, with his big eyes open, and he liked walking around everywhere, but the poor little guy just didn't grow. at least i got the time with him that i did.
we buried him beside our house with a bunch of marigolds from our garden, and i miss him a lot. goodbye baby boy. <3
