Tommy passed away this morning at 5:10 Amman time (11:10 EST). His mommy, daddy and litter sister Sally sorely miss him. Tommy 02/06/2006-05/23/2014

Tommy has gone under the Rainbow bridge this morning at 510 am Amman time. The vet was him the whole night until he passed away. We are devastated but hope the little guy didn't suffer. Looking into cremation.
