My dearest brother...

It has been an increasingly anxious time due to the health of my beloved brother. It is fair to say that he is holding his own, with the help of medication and regular trips to the v-e-t. In the meantime, our close knit family are making the most of every day and enjoying each other's company. Truth be told, we  none of us know how long we have on this earth and should take the time to enjoy life's rich bounty. 

For the time being, he remains happy in himself, with a good appetite but tires easily; rest is important, as is enjoying the warmth of the sun and little forays around the sanctuary garden, or as far as he can manage. My guardians are monitoring his health most diligently and a further trip to the v-e-t is booked for the end of the week. We hope and pray that we have him for as long as is possible for he is a most loved member of our family and we cannot imagine life without him, such is his personality and charm.
