[Leica] Nathan's PAD 11/3/2016: the last picture of Taco

[Douglas Barry]

Sorry to hear of your loss, Nathan. We also have endured a cat shaped hole 
in our lives for a 16 months - before we replaced Kofi with Pippi and the 
hole gradually healed.

> Our beloved kitty Taco is not with us anymore. This week he stopped eating 
> and was basically just sleeping all the time, or sitting under the table. 
> I took him to the vet Thursday afternoon. She examined him and gave him an 
> anti-inflammatory injection in case it was just some garden variety 
> illness. But he deteriorated further yesterday, and so at 5 p.m. I took 
> him back to the vet for a blood test. About 1 1/2 hour later the verdict 
> came. Taco’s kidneys were failing completely and he had only days to live. 
> There was really only one possible decision, but I could not make it on my 
> own. My wife is in Colorado visiting our son, and my daughter is in 
> Cardiff, so after a conference call during which the family decided, I 
> called the vet and said that I was coming with Taco. Just before leaving 
> home, I made a quick video of Taco with my phone—Monica wanted to see her 
> kitty alive one last time...
>
> Isabel has been our vet ever since we moved to this neighbourhood 8 years 
> ago, and she handled everything with utmost compassion and care. Taco went 
> to kitty heaven peacefully, with no pain, and with my hand gently 
> caressing his soft fur throughout.

> Before starting the procedure, I asked Isabel to pose for me so I could 
> get one last picture of Taco:
