Tiny Tim (In Memoriam) : Angel Kitty in Light

On December 28th of last year I posted a photo of our Tiny Tim called "Saving Tiny Tim." It touched many people. Last Monday (June 5, 2023), Timmy was rushed to the doctor with labored breathing, and put into an oxygen tent for overnight observation. He did not get better the next day, so we were told to rush him to the nearest ER, one hour away. We made it, and rushed him in. It was determined that Tiny Tim had a relapse of his Osteosarcoma, and his lungs succumbed to the cancer. We thought it was gone, but it only takes one evil cell to do this damage. Tiny Timmy was a trooper, he was truly Super Timmy. He lasted through chemo, through amputation and still always had the best disposition and smile. He gave us hope, even when the odds were against him. This type of aggressive bone cancer is so rare, and even rarer still in the very young, and even rarer still being so resistant to any treatment. It did not respond to the chemo, and took his little lungs and breath away. We rushed him to ER, but had no choice but to help him get his beautiful wings. His story, and his little sweetness touched even the ER nurses who see grief every day. Everyone was touched by Tiny Tim. Fly high, Super Tiny Timmy. I hope you are dancing in the sky, and I do hope the angels know just what they have (Ref. to song "Dancing in the Sky" by Dani & Lizzy). 🌈

"God Bless us, everyone!" Says Tiny Tim in Dickens' classic Christmas tale.

Tiny Tim, our little lion cub.

Happy New Year 2023!

When we named Tiny Tim we had no idea what would happen this year. It also happened at Christmas time, which is uncanny. Timmy became lame this summer, and we first thought it was just a pulled muscle. We later found out that something was causing severe bone degeneration. It could be cancer, or some infection. He was in severe pain. After treatment we were unable to save his little leg, but we saved his tiny life. Just before Christmas he became a "Tripod". He is amazing! He's healing very well; and he plays and runs pain free now. We tell him he gained new super powers, and we call him "Super Timmy!"

We are hoping for a calmer New year in 2023, every time I say that though, something happens. We lost five of our babies this year, and Timmy was a traumatic event for us. But we are coming out of it, looking positively toward a great new year! Happy 2023!
