August 23rd, 2009 · Comments Off

The morning after Yuki’s surgery Matt wrote this on his facebook wall page:Yuki cried & cried last night until I thought my heart would break. Then, she slept like an angel, woke up this morning & accepted her loss. She sprung out of bed, leapt up at me & begged to go outside & play [...]
