A special baby who needed all the love and attention I could give him. Every time life tried to knock him down he rallied and kept on going, a brave boy. Born prematurely he required supplemental bottle feeding. He spent the first few months of his short life sitting down and surprisingly when he did become mobile his conformation was perfect. However eventually he was diagnosed with osteomyelitis of the neck and despite treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, the damage was too severe for him to lead a normal life. He was put to sleep on 25 October 2000.

Never a day goes by when I don't think about him. I visit his grave every day and talk to him, my "Baby Puckpitt". I hope he waits at Rainbow Bridge.
