[drache]

this has been a bit of a sad week, with Zakir declining rapidly.
he is old and it's kidney failure with protein in the urine.
so I've been giving him subcutaneous fluids this week
and feeling sad
yesterday his legs finally failed him
Jeff and I put him on some towels over night
he hasn't moved
now his breath is like a squawk
and slowing down
I think in a couple of hours at the most
he will be gone
